The Hut Review (New York). speaks in the wholesale hat market: Buyers from the west have been in the New York market for the last few Weeks. but for the most part their or- ders have been light. it is apparent that they came here for the purpose at feeling the market, rather than with the intention of buying any considera- ble quantity of stock, and to this pur- pose they have remained true through- out. Both jobbers and retailers placed their orders in a Way that shows that at least sufficient stock is in their hands to enable them to open the new so with only such goods as may be needed to fill gaps. This is shown by the general tendency to liuy hats that were established as ready sellers dur- ing the last season. Little interest has been‘ shown in the new styles. it is possible that the stiff hat trade is a little better than might have been expected. Some of the Danbury factor- ies are for the time being. fairly busy. Whether this will continue for any length of time it will be hard to say it is probable. however, that this is not a stable condition, although some of the stiff hat manufacturers express opinions to the contrary. They call attention to the fact that rural com- munities have shown a greater inter- est in stiff hats than ever before. es- pecially in the better grade of hats. This may all betrue , but it seems to us that it will require a good many far- mers to bring the demand up to a' point where the business recession of the centers of stiff hat consumption will be offset. it is in the cities, especial- ly. that the effect of the commercial depression has been most serious, and it Is in the cities, also, that stiff hats find the principal outlet. Neverthe- less. thus question is an open one, and" will be solved in the course of time. t course comparatively little sale for stiff hat at retail. and stocks that hue During the summer months there is, .

However. it is hard! possible that the stiff hat sunv ply tgroughout. the entire country is very large. and we feel that after the ‘ opening 03 the kit“! hat retail season . there will he a vast difference in the attitude of the buyers. Although orders in soft h'ats contin- ue to be moderate. there Is no reason to believe that this branch of the busi- ness will be any less active than the other during the latter part of the year. The western and southern mar- kets, while they are not in a satisfac- tory condition, are not. on the other hand, in the state that we find the larger commercial centers. . . .

Many of the retailers were'car- ried over from last season, and a steadily increasing number of them are finding it impossible to meet their obligations. The laboring man, the clerk, a1 practically all salaried em- playes, ho had been earning wages for some what they had fermerly been accustomed to. had during the several y,ears fallen into the habit of buying recklessly. perhaps. and certainly with floater streedom than good judgment would dicihte. They could not, for a time abandon this habit, and contin- nod to livo more or less extravagantly until the pinch of necessity becsle acute. It was, therefore, some little time before the retailers felt the ef- fect of trade conditions an seriouslya as others. They are feeling it now in its full force. and. moreover. they have reached the point where it is neces- sary to pay up or close their doors. in many cases the doors have been closed. Therehave been some instan- ces where, apparently, the retailer has tried to take advantage of the situa- tion. We know of several cases whe the customer has written to the who saler that he must have his goods, that his stock was very low. but that he had no money to meet his last years debts. This is a peculiar condition, for one would naturally think that if the goods had been disposed of, they must have been sold for money: for the retail basis. The result is that the whole- saler is becoming more and more wary abut taking on new accounts. although up to the‘ present time he has done so at every opportunity Ho ropreclates the fact’that new customers are not coming to him through admiration for his especial make of felt or'stiff hats. and he inquires into the real cause. Even now they are regretting the fact that they did not make more careful inquiries with regard to new custo- mers that they'hsve already placed on their books. This condition is. we be. lieve, the beginning of the end of the pronoun stagnant condition of trade. From the first we have consistently held that the weaker brothers would have to be eliminated from the situa- tion before any safe foundation could be established and business built up i to satisfactory proportions.
