Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Broadened
buying of goods by retail stores and
raw materials by industrial COM
panies the past few days have set
the experts to wondering whether
new inventory-building move is
getting under way.
In the retail field, cooler weather,
beginning in mid-August, touched
off preseason purchasing of fall
apparel and other merchandise, and
brought embarrassment to many
merchants who had stocked shelves
too conServatively. AS a result, a
flood of orders for fall goods specify
ing rush" delivery have been pour
ing into wholesale houses by tele-
gram and airmail.
Another month, trade observers
say, should reveal whether retail
stores merely are enjoying earlier
autumn trade than usual, or whether
merchants are stocking ahead in
anticipation of bigger business
lIlIOuSliOul Gllc ld4l dllU WAAINI- -dLllg
possibly, because they fear a hike in
wholesale prices later on.
In the industrial field, many COM
panies have been widening purchases
of a number of key industrial raw
materials. Two reasons are given:
l. Need of materials in connection
with orders stemming from the Ma
tion's $4,000, 100000 defense spend
ing.
2. Growing apprehension in some
circles that heavy demand for sup
plies may boost staple prices. Cop
per, zinc, steel scrap, hides, leather
and cotton gray goods all were
marked up last week.
Poll of 300 business leaders blythe
National Industrial Conference
Board, just completed, shows around
three out of four executives think
a sharp rise in general production
costs will be unavoidable as the de-
fense program picks up speed.
Executives, the board said, expect
higher labor costs, particularly for
skilled work. increased material
costs, and rising tax burden.
