Southern Furniture Exposition Shows Cautious Market
The July market closed with manufacturers hopeful for a six month lift while retail buyers remained cautious amid mixed results. Lamp and accessories firms, and those selling occasional, juvenile furniture and floor coverings reported strength, while others faced weak demand despite shopper activity. Early signs of post market business are expected around July 11 as many plants take a July Fourth break and retailers gauge late summer and fall prospects. Tobacco and corn crops across the South were reported good, bolstering outlook.
