Brisk Buying, Big Attend
ance and Higher Prices
Seen at New York Show.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. May 16.-Brisk buy
ing, a large attendance and higher
prices are features OF the first mid
season furniture show held here in
nearly a decade. More than 1,10O
Luyers have registered this week at
the New York Furniture Exchange,
where buying since Monday has
steadily increased as retail stores
sought to replenish wares for Autumn.
Following the trend of Midwest
shows, in Chicago and Grand Rapids,
which moved along with the James,
town, N. Y, and southern exhibits,
the midseason show here reports
price advances ranging from 5 to 10
per cent over Spring quotations.
Purchases the first two days, mostly
made by New York retail stores, en-
phasized medium and low-end mer-
ohandise in modern, early American
and Colonial styles. The out-of town
buyers, who started to arrive Wednes-
cay and are expected to put total
show attendance we'll above 5000, dis
played a tendency to buy slightly
more Of the medium and quality fur
nlture than was the case with local
merchants
Advances in wholesale furniture
quotations were explained by manu-
.acturerS as merely adjustments to
the sharp increases in many materials
used in furniture production. Hard
ware. mirrors, veneers, varnishes and
upholstery fabrics are up markedly
flom last Spring, rejecting the rise
N raw materials in the last go days.
Retailers are not resisting this up
ward trend in the wholesale markets,
because, thanks to an increase in
home building and repair, sales have
been good despite poor weather. Sum-
mer furniture, Like porch, lawn and
beach sets, has moved quickly, though
higher in price than a year ago.
