      abstract = {During the past two decades, the natural fibers (cotton  and wool) have faced intense competition from artificial  fibers (cellulosics and noncellulosics). This study  analyzes interfiber competition during the past two decades  in terms of (1) retail demand for six end products-men's  apparel, women's apparel, household furnishings, rugs and  carpets, tires and tire fabrics, .and miscellaneous  products; (2) net trade in manufactured and  semimanufactured textile products; and (3) mill demand for  the fibers by end use. Conditional projections to 1980 of  per capita mill consumption of the fibers and their market  shares are given.},
