Buying Is Confined to
Staples for Nearby De-
livery; Little Interest
in Highly Styled Lines

Improvement in the current demand
for textiles continues, with manufac-
tuners and selling agents firm in the
conviction that definite turn toward
better business has ensued. Prices are
hardening, but those who advance
prices now are finding stubborn resist
ance 70 this course on the part CT buy
crs, and in some cases the volume
trend has shown marked decrease
following even slight advances.
From reports of improvement so far
II IS evident that wholesalers and re-
tailers are buying in better volume
than they were during the closing
months Of last year. but are not an
tlclpating their wants far into the fu-
ture. Retailers in most cases are or
derng goods on the basis of thirty
days supply. Wholesalers appear to
be willing to go a little further along
than this, but two and a half or three
months ahead is about as far AS they
are willing to do business. This is in
sharp contrast to the latter part Of
1919 and the early part Of 1920, when
orders we're placed six and eight
months in advance.
Cotton goods continue to lead in vol
umc of new business. 1t was reported
yesterday on good authority that sew
eral of the leading selling agents for
wide shceting mills would advance
prices 5 per cent to-day or tomorrow
upon the strength of business booked
since the first of the year.
So far there has been a notable lack
of buying of strictly summer fabrics
and of highly styled lines OF textiles or
apparel. Retail and wholesale distrib-
utors apparently are taking few
chances on goods that are likely to
grow stale or to go out of fashion by
the time the consumer js ready to use
them.

than any other security we know.

Kendrick is fairly we'll supplied

the Noble Order of Gloom Chasers.
With the wheat still struggling a.
long at about the same old price
and the roads not quite good enough
for either cars or sleds, and the
memrchants loaded up with ac-
counts that probably won't be paid
until the wheat market either makes
or breaks-lt's about time for the
optlmists to get busy before gloom
settles In the Potlatch. 1t doesn't
take half so long to enumerate the
evils facing US as it would to tell
all the good things that we have
with us-that's why we started on
the evils. It's the easiest thing in
the world to get a crouch started
If we let ourselves feel that way.
Gloom Chasers always look on the
bright side of everything, and con-
dltlons are never so badly out OF
gear that there isn't bright side
either in the present or just around
the corner IN the near future.
Probably there is no better remedy
fur dlscontentment than to get a.
way for a while and see what the
other fellow is doing to make his
way in the world. We firmly be-
lieve that anyone in the Potaltch
who feels that business conditions
are not good here as compared too
other points. might get his eyes
opened by visiting other towns IN
the Inland Empire. We have very
little cause for complaint here.
Business is not booming but it is
as good or better than was expected.
Living conditions are as nearly
normal as they are anywhere in the
country today. We are past the
worst stage of the REIMBURSEMENT
period and those who know say that
the very near future, from a bust
ness standpoint, looks brighter than
ever.
