Buyers for Retailers Throng
Wholesale Textile Market
Cotton Goods Decline
Called Temporary,

The decline in the primary cotton
goods market since the latter part
OF January is regarded as merely
temporary. in the opinion of a lead
ing cotton goods commission house.
In letter to its mills, published in
the market service letter of the Ma
honal Wholesale Dry Goods Asso-
clatlon, this commission house saws:
We get good reports from the
retail trade, and would not be sur
prised to see some little improve
ment in demand before long, pro-
vided the cotton market maintains
a tair degree of stability.
We do not think it advisable to
accumulate merchandise under pres
ent conditions, and strongly recon-
mend, whenever opportunity offers,
getting into the position of being
sold ahead for at least thirty days
and then keeping so; then, when
increased margin of profit warrants
1T, extending this to sixty days and
mere if it seems advisable. Such
position is absolutely safe and with
out risk, and it is just as well to
keep in a safe position"
