With tho majority of lines for fall already open and several of the best known fabrica in the mar? ket, already withdrawn because of the advance hooking of orders for all pos? sible production, buying interest, has been stimulated from the lethargy that prevailed for several months. The market, however, ?Iocs not, pre? sent, the runaway appearance of boom years, and a great amount of caution is being exercised in the placing of orders for fall merchandise. Buyers aro shopping moro keenly than ever before and are comparing values closely. A great amount, of uncertainty sur? rounds the position of foreign goods at present, particularly British marie fabrics. It is possible, buyers assert, lo lind certain small stocks ?if high grade English ami Scotch made woolens in the hand;> of Jobbers at prices that are below prescrit, importing prices. The possibility that Congress may enact a. tiaiff bill that, will include woolen goods as well as raw wool also is hav? ing some otfect on the market, not in the direction of urging greater buying, as might, be expected, but the reverse. Some buyers argue that a move toward a higher tariff em foreigif woolens will ulerea-.' importations in'?) this coun? try befoio th? tariff ?roes into effect m such quantities that, lower prices than now prevail will be necessary to move the goods. Commercial Credit The domestic credit situation, ac? cording to credit, men in the wholesale textile field, has improved measurably since the first of the year. Collections, especially from retailer.':, have been better, although still --lightly below normal. The improved condition i ; re? flected in the higher credit limits that many wholesalers arc now extending individual customers. The credit men looked upon January and February as critical months in the retail field, and now feel that merchants who were able to weather those two months are in a fairly sound financial position and arc good risks as a genera! rule.

Y., is showing de? cided improvement, according to William P, Harrows, president of the Retail Merchants' Council of that city. Tn his opinion this is due in Jarg?> measure to lower prices that have ensued during tho last three months. "During that time," he said, "re? tailers have taken enormous losses on their stocks in getting prices down to something like a normal basis. Spring goods on the shelves of apparel merchants to-day were purchased on a basis of replace? ment costs. In many cases the fabrics were purchased from job? bers at liquidation prices. ''Another factor in the situation is that the members of the buying public, have become wise to the truth that they must buy what they need when thoy need it or there will be no demand for their labor." ' _!' ri\w cotton decreased approximately a third in volume from January. The consumption of cotton in Feb? ruary amounted to about. 385,000 hales, compared with 366,000 bales in January and 294,000 bale;-- in December. Normal monthly consumption runs be? tween 500,000 and 600,000 bales. Stocks on hand at the close of the month in public storehouses and con? suming establishments were 6,832,444 bales of lint cotton, against 6,918,430 at the close, of January and 6,882,375 at the close of December. These lig? ure., do not take into account the cot? ton in transit, in private storehouses and on plantations. Exports of raw cotton for Februarv totaled 403,426 hales, against 606,001 in January and 788,578 in December. A gain of more than 1,000,000 activt spindle.-- was reported ?n February compared with January. The number ol active spindles in February was place? at 32,450,528.
