Active Furniture Sales.

Furniture manufacturers and dealers
report business in their line as better
the last few months than at any pre-
vious time in the last ten years. This
condition Is attributed to the fact that
building conditions have improved and
that many people are able to move
into their own homes and apartments,
with the result that the question OF
house furnishings has received more at
tention. A tendency is also noted on
the part of the public TO buy furniture
with an eye to service and general
utility. and for this reason the furniture
being displayed is of the more massive
type and upholstered in neutral colors,
particularly in taupe. A general inn
provement in the furniture business is
noted throughout the country, with COL
lectlons good.

A prediction Of higher prices for
woolens for spring delivery is made by
one of the largest importers of English
fabrics. This jobber explains that
stocks of the raw material are low in
the English mills and that orders placed
now cannot be promised for delivery
earlier than next June. Many agents
OF English mills are refusing to quote
prices in anticipation of higher QUOTA
tions within few days. With regard
to domestic wool. mostly controlled by
the American Woolen Company. this
jobber explains that the new prices ex-
pected to be announced soon will be
much higher than expected generally
In the local market little buying Is In
evidence. but the next month Is expected
to witness a rush by domestic buyers

PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.

Evidence that the outlying boroughs
have witnessed heavier markets during
the year when compared with Manhat-
tan has not been lacking in the compari-
sons of transfers in these boroughs. This
was especially true of the past week. In
Manhattan there were 1870 recorded sales.
against 200 for the same period in 1920.
In The Bronx there were 1876, against 9s
last year. and in Brooklyn 5S3. against
416 in 1920.
An even greater discrepancy in the
amount of consideration involved was
shown. In Manhattan it was $203. 1876.
against $1.020.475 in 1920. In The
Bronx it was S177,074, against $111,650'
for 1920, and in Brooklyn it was $4S4,-
623 for 1921, against s253.276.
The total number of sales reported
but not recorded in Manhattan during
the last week was So. compared with "A
last week. against 100 during the same
period in 1920. The number of sales
south of Fifty-ninth street was 80, COM
pared with 81 last week and SO a year
ago. The sales above Fifty-ninth street
numbered 49, compared with 43 week
ago and 62 year ago.
In The Bronx 80 private sales were
reported, compared with Al week ago
and 30 year ago. The upshot of the
statistical comparisons for the last week
Is that the market for reported sales
has tapered off but the recorded sales
were in excess of the same period last
year.
