Britain Tightens Wool and Cloth Production Controls
The British Government raises output limits for woollen goods by 30 percent through May 31, 1942. Prices for fabrics range from 3/6 to 6/6 per yard, with special price controls on Catia products. Mills are urged to boost production while ensuring affordability for lower incomes, amid rationing and attempts to stabilize raw material values. Wool rationing increases demand for woollen rags, prompting new stock planning as South American supplies shift and Brisbane appraisals set dates in November.
