special Dlspatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 28.-The hard
ware industry is putting up a hard
fight and one which promises success.
to recover sales losses suffered during
the "big freeze" Some kinds Of bus
mess which hardware stores missed
during those weeks cannot be regained.
However, this loss has been largely
offset by the demand for emergency
supplies during and following the
storm period, Hardware Age says in
its market summary
Many important sales were directly
due to the ravages of the severe
Winter weather, and to its aftermath
of foodS-still serious problem in
many States. But the present trade
reaction from this setback" is seen
in redoubled sales effort, increased
advertising, and a general quickenng
Of service, and these are showing
results. Retail hardware sales thus
far this month have probably aver
aged at least u to Is per cent ahead
of the corresponding period of last
year.
AS a better demand has been ex.
pected, it is remarkable that the sud-
den pickup has exceeded to such
large extent the provisions made for
it by jebbers and dealers.
Shortages and delayed shipments
are causing more complaints than at
any time in recent months. Buying
toward Spring needs has apparently
been over conservative in many lines,
and it is now difficult to obtain rush
shipments from most manufacturers.
They, too. seem to have underesti-
mated the trades requirements.
Roller skates are cited as an ex-
ample of shortage. The better weather
has caught many dealers without
stock, and the demand has been ex-
ceedingly heavy. as it has come on
with a rush. Many manufacturers
are considerably behind in deliveries.
An unusually good sales record, how.
ever. is in sight for the season as
whole.
