probing

Canadian
prices,
reiterated
Priday
night
that
"we

The

stated

Earlier
the

was
told
by
Kenneth
Taylor,
.chairman
of
the
Prices
and
Trade
Board,
that
increases
in
the
prices
of
suits
and
woollen
clothing
was
a
reflection
of
the
increased
cost
of
imported
wool
fabrics.
About
sixty
percent
of
such
fabrics
are
Imported
by
Canada,
principally
from
Britain,
Mr.
Martin
said.
"We
have
found
no
evidence
in
our
current
surveys
of
wool
prices
to
lead
us
to
believe
that
there
is
anything
improper
or
excessive
in
the
increases
in
prices.
Cost
of
woollen
fabrics
in
Canada
are
