GLUT IN HUMAN HAIR
MARKET NOT MATERIALIZING
Experts in the human-hair
trade in Hongkong are railing at
tention to the fact that the dis
position of buyers of human hair
in the United States to expect a
great oversupply of the material
as a result of social and other
changes, including queue cutting,
in China is likely to lead to dis
appointment. Instead of an ov
ersupply the changes now going
on are cutting ofT the chief sour
ces of supply in China, and there
is likely soon to he a decided fall
ing away.

disposition of the queues of Chi
nese moil. Contrary (<» general
impression in the United States
and Kurope, I lie queue when cut
are not sold. This is an abso
lute rule, so far as south China
is concerned, and it is the eus
I<>111 all over those portions of
China from which the writer has
been able to secure reliable data
on this subject. The queues,
when cut, are preserved, accord
ing to general statement, for
