TRADE AIOUT OVER.
Hatting Season for Spring Dropa Off
Suddenly.
The bottom has evidently fallen out
of the spring batting trade, Factories
that were rushed with orders two
weeks or less use are now doing com-
paratively little and shipments out of
town are correspondingly small. The
backward season is responsible for this
for when it is known that there are
people all over the northern part of
the country who are still wearing win-
ter caps. this is hardly to be w nder‘
ed at.
It is 110w within a few days of Buster
and practically all the spring orders
have been shipped. although 11 few dup~
licate orders are being hurried through.
The demand for still and soft bats for
spring has been nnsusually light this
season. The weather has continued so
cold that winter hats have been worn
until late. Summer will so soon be here
tbst‘the majority of people will Jump
from a winter Into a straw or other hat
thus'euttln’g off the demand for spring
. ibpcn a good one in the Dunbury factor-
es
As a reaction fro mtbis state of af-
.fdirs it is expected that the fall and
.wlnter trade will open earlier than
usual and be a big one.“ Dealers all
oVer the country have had a chance to
11th their winter stocks and instead
of carrying goods ovcr until next fall
with have to stock up new for fall. The
fall trade will be on in a few weeks.
