OUTLOOK GOOD FOR CHEAPER CLOTHING

The wool market is rapidly approaching a normal, pre-war basis, and manufacturers’ demands for raw wool will be met' in fult soon, according to Arthur Williams, federal food administrator, who conferred with representatives of the American W oolen association at New York .yesterday. The encouraging outlook .for cheaper clothing, Mr. Williams said, is further enhanced by a nearly normal commercial output by the nation’s mills, which he said devoted sixty-five per cent of their capacity during the war to making cloth for the army and navy.
