ENGLAND RAISES EMBARGO
ON HER OLD RAGS
The recent action of the British au
thorities in lifting the embargo on
rags has greatly relieved the situa
tion for the various felt mills in this
country. When Great Britain clamp
ed on the lid shortly after the begin
ning of the war intense alarm’ was
felt throughout this country by the
felt miils who had depended for years
on foreign rags from which felt for
roofing and other products is made.
The domestic rag business at that time
was not very vell organized but as
the war went on and prretically no
foreign rags were to be had. the col
lection and distribution of this impor
tant raw material was better syste
matized. nl spite of this fact, how
ever, the last. few months has witness
ed such an unprecedented demand for
ready roofiings, that felt makers were
looking forward to a possible short
age of supply in the near future.
While there has been a god supply of
domestic rags to take care of the feit
mill reguirements and while these rags
have been moving freely, the removal
of the embargo has averated any pos
lsibility of future shortage.
. There are about thirty large felt
mills in this country that use thou
sands of tons of rags annually in mak
ing felt for roofing purposes, all of
whom will be directly benefited by
[ Great Britain's lifting the embargo.
r. t has been pcinted out, however,
' that this new supply will not tend to
' lower the price of finished ready roof
ing because the greatly increased de
imand for this material and the inabil
ity of the felt miils to fill the orders

who predict that prices will continue

the unprecedented demand for ready
