BUYERS INCREASE.

The last week saw a larger number
OF buyers in the New York wholesale
sale markets have been there al one
time in many months. Most of them
operated conservatively. however, and
bought new merchandise only for
their immediate requirements. Re-
tailers especially are anticipatin
their wants only about thirty days in
the future, and efforts to lure them
into placing long term contracts APP
pear to be futile. On the other hand,
the majority of sellers seem to be
anxious to avoid contracts calling
for the delivery of goods at today's
prices several months hence. The
impression among the sellers is that
prices are due for an upward swing
and that the low prices made in many
quarters at the turn Of the year dip
ped below actual production costs
and cannot prevail IL the current rate
of demand continues.
Some impartial observers OF bust
ness trends now believe that period
of activity will continue up to April
accompanied by an upward price ten
dency, and that a secondary reaction
will set in about that time. This view
has not found many ardent support
ers, it must be admitted, but mer-
chants are shaping their policies so
as to minimize losses in case another
reaction against prices occurs.

TOO MANY TRADERS
SURVEY INDICATES
Commission Suspects Over
crowded Lines Lead
To Failures.

The Joint Commission Of AgricuI-
tural Inquiry composed of Senators
and Representatives, believes that
its Investigations will show that
many retail lines and some
wholesale lines are overcrowded.
This, Ii is thought may be in
part responsible for business fail
ures and for the large proportion
of the total expense of dlstriou-
ton which is absorbed by whole
salers and retailers.
The commission Is making .
comprehensive survey in an effort
to ascertain the reason for the
wide spread between prices paid
for raw materials, sand the prices
paid by the consumer.
while no Definite conclusion can
be drawn from data thus gathered
by the commission" said Repre-
sentative Sidney Anderson, its
chairman. 1T seems probable that
many Of the retail lines and some
of the wholesale lines are\ over
crowded. and that this condition
is in some measure. at least respon-
sib1e for both the business failures
which, occur In these trades and
for the large proportion of the
total expense of distribution rep
resented by wholesale and retail
distribution" .ry
The commissions figures show
that the approximate number OF
persons employed in wholesale and
retail trades is 3.6s4,073, or "a
per cent Of the total population.
The tables thus far compiled show
956,419 retail establishments in the
principal lines, or one for every
twenty-six families.
