New York City. - Ten thousand
business men and women from the
West and Southwest are In town
spending, It Is estimated, 800, ,000,-
000- They have driven spessimism
from the great downtown jobbing
district with stories of assured pros
perity and are spreading Joy and cash
among the hotels, theatres and other
amusement places.
This is the annual buying period
for the spring trade and reduced
rates on the railroads are bringing
merchants here from the small towns
in far away Texas as we'll as from
Chicago, st. Louis and the big CEN
tres. The registration at the Mer-
chants Association is within a hun
dred odd of the phenomenal registra-
tion last spring, when prosperity was
at Its height. Nearly 2000 buyers or
their representatives, about one-half
of whom are women, have registered.
They are coming at the rate of nearly
200 a day. AS only a portion take
advantage of the special railroad
rates 1t is estimated that the total
number of buyers at present here is
about 10000.
Hotels Are Crowded
Every hotel that caters to the out
of-town custom is crowded, the big
hotels have all they can handle and
the family hotels are turning hun
dreds of people away. The buyers
are being entertained at clubs, din
ner parties, theatres and with auto
mobile trips by the merchants who
are receiving the benefit of their
trade.
s. G. Mead, secretary of the Mer-
chants Association, said of the influx
OF buyers:
1T means that the country is all
right. The men who are coming to
New York now to lay in their spring
stocks are mainly from the West and
Southwest. l have not heard one of
them talk about hard times. They
laugh ut the idea. and / tell you their
optimism is having big effect here
In New York. Our merchants rather
had the idea that trade was going to
be dull this spring, but they have
changed their opinion in the past few
days. Buyers have registered here
from towns of not over 1000 popula-
tion in Texas, the new State of Okla
homa and the entire Southwest as
we'll as from Chicago, st. Louis, In
dianapolis. Detroit and the other big
cities:
THE most encouraging reports are
brought from Texas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas, where the crops have been
good. I have been surprised at the
number of new faces and have been
told that scores of new business
houses are springing up"
In the shops OF the H. b. Clafin
