On Coast Is Good
SANlFRANCISCO. Nov.
Credit conditions between whole
salers and retailers remain good
along Che Pacific coast, despite a
slump In 'buying during the last
two months, a variety ef reports
indicated today. j
Retailers, have been ordering
smaller' quantities of goods, re
ports showed, but paying more
promptly, on the average.
A Las Angeles, report, typical
of others from California's prin
cipal cCitea, pointed out retailers
were stock-market conscious, and
since the recent stock decline'had
put on special sales to reduce In
ventories. This sentiment of
course L tended to reduce new
purchases from wholesalers, and
put buying on a hand-to-mouth
basis. : .
However, It worked to keep re
tailers'! credit standing in good
shape. I
