JUST FOR FEET SECURES $215M IN CREDIT; STOCK ON RISE TODAY

          Just For Feet (JFF) "got its cash late last week but
     not before worries about delays in lining up a credit line
     clobbered its stock," according to Jerry Underwood of the
     BIRMINGHAM NEWS.  JFF's stock fell 49.5% to close at $1.56
     on Friday, as "investors fretted about that credit line." 
     After the market closed Friday, JFF said it had secured
     $215M in a pair of credit agreements and that "getting the
     cash was seen as crucial."  JFF CEO Helen Rockey: "It gives
     us the support we need to continue our efforts to reenergize
     our core business" (BIRMINGHAM NEWS, 9/26).  In early
     trading this morning, JFF is up 1 1/32 or 66% (THE DAILY).
