Silk Is Put Under Control
Washington July 26 Defense officials ordered swift control of silk amid uncertain future due to credit freezes by the U S and Japan. E R Stettinius Jr froze stocks requiring authorization to move silk except from ships to importers. Mills forbidden to process silk beyond this week totals. Price administrator Leon Henderson urged a silk futures suspension and set a ceiling at July 21 levels. A conference will address the price ceiling with importers, weavers, brokers and manufacturers. Raw silk futures rose from 3.04 to 3.65 per pound between July 21 and 25. Officials note the price rise reflects potential shortage and urge consumers not to overreact. Raw silk stocks totaled 33 000 bales in public warehouses and 35 000 bales in mills, with mills using about 5 000 bales weekly. Japan supplied 81 percent of silk used in the U S last year. Silk is key for parachute and powder bag production.
