Early reports from straw hat sales

Is given as the cause for more liberal
buying there. A prominent hat man

Hosiery and Artificial SILK.

Hosiery manufacturers have placed
considerable business with artificial
silk manufacturers up to June and they
are largest buyers in the market
Knitted outerwear and weaving trades
are holding off on immediate and future
commitments. Cotton piece goods men
are using large quantities of artificial
silk for coiored stripping In shifting
materials. Cold weather has retarded
Knitted garment sales and for that
reason manufacturers have requested
delayed deliveries on orders placed
earlier in the season. Few, however,
have sent in cancellations

Clothing retailers to dispose Of Easter

though that trend of events is hardly
encouraging from the consumer point

staples Returning to Normal

Improved worsted business of last
week and the head of the American
Woolen Company's optimistic statement
regarding advancing prices are suffi-
cient proof, according to several In the
trade. that the long awaited return to
staple merchandise buying is under way.
Even tweed factors recognize the change,
evidenced by broadening inquiry on
their part Sellers of staples and
fancies are much pleased with the broad
enng market. 1t is felt that merchan-
dising under those conditions Is less of
a gamble on the future and makes for
more liberal consumer buying.
