** Apparel Group **

So you don't think we are going into a recession and your spouse is hunkering down for a huge holiday shopping spree and you want to take advantage of the situation in an effort to hedge against a huge credit card bill? Take a look at some apparel companies:

The year-to-date results (percentage change, 12/31/97 price
and 10/30/98 price) by company follows:

Authentic Fitness (ASM) -25.8% from $18.625 to $13.8125
Donna Karan (DK) -41.8% from $12.875 to $7.50
Fruit of the Loom (FTL) -40.5% from $25.625 to $15.25
Haggar (HGGR) -17.1% from $15.75 to $13.0625
Jones Apparel (JNY) -20.9% from $21.50 to $17.00
Kellwood (KWD) -9.2% from $30.00 to $27.25
Liz Claiborne (LIZ) -29.8% from $41.8125 to $29.375
Nautica (NAUT) -11.0% from $23.25 to $20.6875
Oxford Industries (OXM) -12.9% from $32.50 to $28.3125
Phillips-VanHeusen (PVH) -35.5% from $14.25 to $9.1875
Polo-Ralph Lauren (RL) -14.2% from $24.25 to $20.8125
Russell (RML) -7.5% from $26.5625 to $24.5625
St.John Knits (SJK) -49.5% from $40.00 to $20.1875
Timberland (TBL) -31.1% from $58.0625 to $40.00
Tommy Hilfiger (TOM) +32.2% from $35.125 to $46.4375
VF (VFC) -9.7% from $46.50 to $42.00
Warnaco (WAC) -18.5% from $31.375 to $25.5625
Ashworth (ASHW) -42.1% from $11.00 to $6.375
Cutter & Buck (CBUK) +39.6% from $18.625 to $26.00
Sport-Haley (SPOR) -13.6% from $11.00 to $9.50

Compared to their respective 52 week highs, the group is
down by an average of 39.8%.

It appears that the group, along with the Russell 2000, hit a
collective low on October 8, 1998. On that date the group was
down 30.8% from their 12/31/97 prices and down 49.7%
from their respective 52 week highs.
