Scheme to curb clandestine export of British and Irish wool
A quasi letter to the Daily Post proposes a method to prevent wool exports harming the woollen industry. It argues current laws fail due to poor enforcement and suggests Parliament create a Woollen Manufacturers Company with power to borrow, store, and fix prices through public warehouses. It calculates potential supply, pricing, and profit to fund management costs, claiming a ready home money market would end the need to export wool.
