has been apparent. The curve will.
undoubtedly rise as soon as inwa-
tories have been completed and man—
ufacturers are fully informed with
regard to the requirements of the
situation. The single marked ex-
ception to the generally good condi~
tion is in the Textile Industry—ecu-
tt-ring in Norwich, which reflects
the general tendency of the men
chants to refrain from unnecessary
purchases and the desire to keep in-
\‘enlories at the lowest possible basis.
The mild winter has. undoubtedly,
contributed largely to this situation.
“Reports from retail merchants
indicate a fair increase in volume of
trade in 1923; and a general belief
in a continuance of good conditions
for at least six months in 19:24. This
belief, it is stated is based upon the
good general employment situation.
Stocks in hand are generally lower
than normal. and are being‘ maiu~
lained at this low level by quick
‘turn-orcrs' at reasonable margins.
in an effort to satisfy the demands
of the purchasing public for great-
er values."
The survey by the State Chamber,
in men's wear have suffered quite
heavily the past several months due
to climatic conditions. The favor-
able business conditions which have
been enjoyed have resulted in a gut--
plus in the textile mills causing many
0 {them to run on short time. Ln-

have con normal and manui‘nctui-

It; is generally considered by the
retail merchants. the survey shows,
that much keener competition is
expected in that line this year than
last year. with themerchants re-
ceiving only a. slight margin of pro-

year.

The Middle Ages inherited cur—
