Business Notes
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, November 6.-Contin-
ued gains in retail trade, particularly
apparel, are reported by retail execu-
tives in New York. The week so far
is proving one Of the best periods since
the start OF the Fall season and weather
permitting, Q notably active week end
is anticipated. In some. quarters also
some early "ntbbling" of consumers at
honoay lines Is reported by stores
which in q limited way already have
started showing such merchandise.
Fill-in orders by dry goods iobbers
for merchandise for immediate delivery
were slightly heavier this week, as cold
weather developed in several sections of
the country, reports in New York whole
sale circles indicate. The purchasers.
however, were mostly for small ouan-
titles OF goods. A better sentiment in
the sections where commodity prices
have been increasing was reported by
jobbers.
The wholesale kitchenware market
took on a more active tone this week
as buyers placed rush orders ON goods
wanted for Thanksgiving promotions
The merchandise purchased was all in
the popular price class, with goods
above 81 neglected. Call for kitchen
crockery has improved since the close
of last month, with domestic houses
busy on orders for immediate delivery
and importers on Spring requirements.
New resort lines Of ready-to-wear
are nearing completion and are ex-
pected to exert a strong influence on
styles for late Winter and early Spring
merchandising. Spectator sports types
are strongly to the fore, while in the
colors to be featured there is a strong
trend toward shades which are about
equally adaptable for town as well as
resort wear.
