TEN 'THE CORSICANA (TEXAS) DAILY SUN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1952. Plenty Of Buyers At Trade Markets With Ample Cash By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, Jan. (JP) of store buyers are on tho march today with money they can they see a good buy. The greatest numbers are headed for New York and Chicago. They nre expected to be price conscious and cautious after having burned their fingers with overbuying at this time last year.

But manufacturers think merchants' purse strings will be looser now than last fall, since many stores worked inventories down to normal size. And so far the average store has ordered only about 50 per cent of its spring needs, manufacturers estimate, and will be ordering the rest now Manufacturers Chastened The garment district here expects all records to be broken this week in attendance at seven shows getting under way. Mid-town hotels report they arc already sold out, under the influx of out-of-town buyers. After months of bad business, chastened manufacturers are offering lower priced goods and stressing new styles. More than 6,000 merchants arc expected at the convention here of the National Retail Dry Goods Association.

In a survey of 400 department, chain and variety stores, the association reports 57 per cent expecting higher sales volume this year than last, and- 27 per cent looking for about the same volume. Most of them, however, expect the profit margin to be shaved still further by rising costs of operation and by higher taxes. In Los Angeles, more than 5,000 buyers from all over the country are attending tho spring market week of the California fashion creators. Chicago Furniture Mart In Chicago 25,000 buyers are expected to attend home furnishings shows this week and next. According to the sponsors, the American Furniture Mart and The Merchandise Mart, buyers will find most furniture prices below official price ceilings, carpet prices below last year and a greater display of new designs, fabrics, wood finishes, and colors Furniture buyers are expected to be price conscious, but manufacturers say store inventories have now been worked down to normal, so that merchants arc once more in position to buy.

In the garment district here, manufacturers are counting on the recent pickup in retail sales of women's and children's apparel to spur buyers to fill out spring stocks.
