Press reports say buyers will face higher prices and fewer choices in cotton and wool clothing next summer and fall. Global shortages, strong foreign demand, currency shifts, and crop problems push up costs, with wool imports rising and Japanese purchases tightening supply. Manufacturers warn of price rises on jeans, shirts, and fabrics, while synthetic fibers offer little relief.

Pharmacy Chair Under Grand Jury Probe For Extortion Allegations
Dr Sol S Turnoff head of the State Pharmacy Board faces a grand jury investigation into alleged extortion and bribery. The Philadelphia Inquirer cites witnesses and interviews about Turnoffs use of his board position to solicit funds for his charity and a payoff from a West Philadelphia pharmacist to speed a license. Turnoff denies wrongdoing and calls the probe political. Assistant District Attorney Paul Michael would not confirm the investigation. West Virginia reports a fiscal year surplus of 37.8 million dollars says Gov Moore Jr.
