Ihe head ot a drapery firm in Wanganui, when asked by a Herald reporter , the other day regarding the present volume of business, promptly produced a record of comparative receipts. Taking last week’s figures and comparing them with 1 those of the corresponding week last [ year, he showed that the actual cash ' takings were far in excess of the pre- ! vious year, and on some days they had | more than doubled. On the other hand if. was explained to the reporter that the entries or booking had fallen off, but advices from othcz’ parts showed that this was general throughout the Dominion, j The cash business went to prove that tile working and middle class public still has the spending power, but on the other hand the country business had declined. lln the small departments of the shop, ‘ business was particularly good, but there was not the rash buying in articles such as high-priced fur coats, etc. At the present time the same thing applies in dra- ' pery as in a good many other business- ! es, that there is very little indenting. Stocks are now being depleted at reduced ■ prices, and when rush of importing again starts, prices must naturally firm. Aa- • vices from Home show that sales are I being conducted at cut prices, but on It he other hand the ’ manufacturers’ •prices still remain firm. There is one j thing certain, added the draper, that the I.peak of the prices was reached early | this year, and when the new goods arrive in the spring they will not be so *dear as was the case last year. i
