Spring, %, Business Ahead
of Last Year, but Under
Early Expectations; Re.
tailers Buy @ Conserva,ively

The Hpirit Of optimism that pervaded
the Wholesale mems clothing market
when the spring. 1923, lines we're
opened, together with many Of the ex-
aggerated notions Of tho volume Of
business that would be booked, are now
giving way 20 more solid reasoning.
Manufacturers and salesmen alike,
we're sure that the retailers would buy
literally In anticipation Of a rising
market, and the salesmen went into
their territories secure in the belief
that business would be good.
Now. however. that the bulk OF the
salesmen have returned 70 their re-
spective houses and manufacturers have
Rad an opportunity to cast up the total
Gales. the spirit Of optimism has been
reduced to the poins whore the volume
OF spring business is being considered
In nearly the proper perspective.
However, II 10 safe TO say that busi-
ness is about 10 10 10 per cent over the
spring, 1922. season. This may seem
ike a pretty small increase, but this
figure Is based on information CLEANED
from many sources, and represents an
average estimate based on such in
formation.
Retailers in buying their spring re-
quirements have pursued the same
careful course that has characterized
their buying for the past few seasons,
and none OF them was swept of his
feet by reports Of rising market. The
more conservative members Of the in
dustry are Of the belief that the re-
tailers have pursued policy that in
the end will prove OF more benefit 10
tho industry as whole than "plung-
ing" policy. This policy OF the re-
tailers is having a very definite effect
on wholesalers, and the talk that was
prevalent in the market n week or ten
days ago to the effect that the various
mills producing plaid back oyercoht-
ings would sell up within a week after
opening the lines Is giving way.
In other words the Wholesale elothiers
have been out and talked with the re-
tail trade, and this contact with their
customers has changed their point Of
view on some things. Clothing manu-
facturers and salesmen might well be
