Textile Demand Slackens,
Fabric Prices Go Down
By MARTHA BAKNETT
Home Agent
The outlook for 1955 in cloth
ing and textiles, household equip
ment, housing and house furnish
ings is of interest to tf?e home
maker who wants to get the most
for her money. In clothing and
textiles, our situation is much the
same as for several of our years
just past. Consumers are buying
less clothing and textiles than
other consumer goods. This has
caused a slump in the textile in
dustry. It also brought prices down
on practically all clothing and tex
tile items.
New improvements' in cotton
fabrics are making them popular
again. Rayons and acetates are now
losing out somewhat to the newer
synthetic fabrics and blends.
New fabrics, colors and styles
are being promoted strongly now
by the textile trade, both in cloth
ing and in Itome decrating fabrics,
in an attempt to boost consumer
buying.
Shoe production and inventories
have been down some this year
with no substantial change in shoe
prices.
The household equipment situa
tion seems to favor the consumer.
Since mid-1953 people have been
[buying less household equipment
and furnishings. As a result deal
er's have been overstocked. Pro
ducting was cut and prices, lowered
on household appliances and TV
sets.
Prices on furniture and other
furnishings 'hanged very little
during 1954 except wool rugs and
carpets which increased slightly.
Our outlook shows an adequate
supply of all types of household
equipment and furnishings. < ? mii
The housing situation shorn* the
number of homes built in 1954
about the same as 1953. Demand
for building materials lias been
strong all year. This has caused
some recent price increases in
cement, lumber, hardware and
other metal products.
Many families are taking advant
age of easier piortgage terms, bor
rowing more money and building
larger, better equipped houses.
The Farmers Home Administra
tion is now authorized td insure
loans made by private lenders for
farm housing ? new construction
or repairs ? where credit for this
purpose is not otherwise available.
As a result of Hurricane Hazel,

placements will be necessary. This
unexpected damage to house and
other build'ngs will cause many
families to change housing plans
previously made.
