Urges Credit Relief
For Southern Retailers
Association Secretary Advises
Against Undue Haste in
Pressing Merchants

In view of impending llquldations or
merchants througout the South because
Of the steep decline in cotton prices,
J. Harry. Tregoe, secretary of the Ma
tional Association Of Credit Men, yes
terdav issued a bulletin to the organl-
zation membership advising against
undue haste or ill-considered action
where distress signals are displayed
by the retailer.
1.-THE merchants in the South" he
says, "arc feeling the situation tensely
because OF slower sales and slower col
lections. In essentials sales have de-
clined very heavily and there are many
appeals for accommodations AS con-
sequence of this condition, q number
Of liouidatons can be expected and
this Is the situation wherein the good
sense Of creditors can be expressed.
THE retailers affairs should be care
fully analyzed and further cooperation
given him, If necessary, and where IN
solvency has happened, then cooperation
should be exercised in ever. case. ~
would be we'll for creditors to know that
accommodations based upon the deslr-
ability Of holding cotton for higher
prices must be carefully scrutlnlzed;;
When a commodity like cotton Is held
for higher prices the immediate de-
mands Of the debtor will gradually ao-
sorb the value Of the commodity un-
til ut its sale there is nothing lett for
the older CREDITOR"

Manufacturers Advised to
Resist Pea of Merchants
for More Liberal Terms:
Credit Situation Talked

An increase in the discounts granted
ny garment manufacturers to retailers
IS unlikely if the apparel producers
aoloe by sentiments expressed yester-
DAY at mass. meeting held by the AS
soclated Dress Industries of America at
the Hotel Annex, attended by about six
hundred dress manufacturers. The i'm
Presslon prevails in rhe manufacturing
trade that retailers are attempting to
torce a change +, ON the prevailing dis
count terms OF $40 to a 1910 basis.
Numerous instances were cited where
retailers have asked for 1910 terms.
The manufacturers were advised to
stick to the present discount terms and
to resist all efforts, either individual
or collective, for a change.
The dress producers also were ad-
vised to "go slowly" in operations for
the spring season. no. to anticipate or-
ders in production, but to work as near
actual orders as possible, to prevent
an overproduction AMI saggng mar
ket
The credit situation also came in for
considerable discussion, and some Of
the trade leaders advised a more eau
tious policy in granting credit to re-
Ing up of collections in the remaining
weeks Of this year. According to one
speaker, collections will be harder in
January, and the possibility that many
Of the smaller retailers will 90 into
bankruptcy next month Is increasing
That many retailers awe still making
exorbitant protits cn ready to-wear
mercf andise, and that much of the con-
sumers' attitude in holding off buy ng is
due to this fact, was the contention #
several manufacturers present. An ex-
ample was brought % light. according
to one manufactu, er, where large de-
partment store that had advertised it
was taking loss o. S25 on each of n
number of dresses had paid only $3.50
for each dress.

Tnv Makers Discuss
Trade Uncertainties
WIZ Probab'y Pns,ronc Price
Lists: Relieve Reductions
Will Be Small

Toy manufacturers have suffered
less than most other industries IN the
present trade recession, but are con-
fronted with some uncertainties dur
ing the next few months. It the open
ing of the convention yesterday Of the
To, Manufacturers of the United States
at the Hotel McAlpin, experiences OF
manufacturers on the raw material and
labor situation were unchanged, with
the result that no definite conclusion
was reached on the probable trend Of
costs Of those elements of production.
AS result the manufacturers are
likely to delay issuing price lists the
first of the year, as they do in normal
times 1t is felt that the jobbers,
through whom most of the TOYS are
distributed, will hold off buying until
the price situation is cleared still more.
The manufacturers pointed out that
the prices of American toys have not
been advanced in proportion to many
recessions, if any are possible, will be
small: SO far there have been only two
or three instances of deductions in la
bor costs in to factories it was said.
No mention was made at yester rday S
meeting of possible competition from
foreign sources. Individual toy manu-
facturers assert that such competition
has not been felt to any great extent as
yet. 1t is believed that the only item
on which the German toy producer RS
could offer serious competition is that
of hsque dolls. Prices of German
toys, according to reports reaching
domestic manufacturers, are about 100
per cent in advance of pre-war prices.
German factories are not flooded with
orders and few Of them are working
more than three da week, according
to information given some of the
American manufacturers.

Garment Producers Oppose
Increasing Retail Discounts
Price StabiIizntion
Urged to Aid Trade

Speedy sterilization Of prices
by all branches of trade on a bed
rock basis as a remedy for the
hesitancy in buying activities is
urged by Louis Topkis, president
of Topkis Brothers Company,
Wilmington, Del, manufacturers
Of athletic underwear.
In answer to the query, why
are jobbers, retailers and con.
sumers holding off buying and
forcing factories to close, he
says:
Because they realize the un-
wisdom of paying to-day's prices,
which may be much greater than
those that will be asked a few
weeks hence. Consumer, retailer
and jobber see the situation with
equal clearness. Accordingly, al:
pursue the same tatics. They buy
nothing except that which is ab-
solutely necessary. Relief will
come only when prices reach what
may be regarded as bedrock. The
sooner this occurs the less busi-
ness, and the consumer will suffer.
There is nothing to be gained by
temporizing. Losses will have to
be- borne. In the long run, how
ever, losses will be smaller if &C.
pied at once"
