THE HAT TRADE.

The current issue American lintter
says of prevailing condition in the hat
trade:
During the latter part of February

ment of a ‘late winter” or “backward

ug preferred. While in Europe. where
velour hats originated. bows In the
hack prevail exclusively, in this conn- .1
try the bows invariably are placed on

Orders for velour hats must he plur-
ed a considerable length of time in ad-
vanoe of the season. The process of
manufacture is an extremely slow one
and the growing volume of demand as
the season advances precludes the
prompt filling of late season orders. ‘
'l‘ho shipments of orders for velour '
bars from abroad is not expeditious ‘
owing to the complicated course of
transportation. The cancer of ,the Eu
ropean velour hat industry is Vienna.
a thousand miles or more fromI a sea-
port. The shipments have a long rail-
road carriage to Bremen; if conned- ‘ ’
tons are not made with the steamer
they may be delayed there for some - .
time. after which is a long ocean my.
age. the arrival at the American port .
and then the transportation in tilts
country.
For these reasons late orders often
cannot be filled. Another reason for
early orders is the constantly ad-. -
vanclnz price on velour hats. and
buyers who place their orders in ad-
varice secure the advantage. of a con.
slderable saving. The French hare
skirts, which form the basis for the
manufacture of velour hats are not
plentiful and with the limited supply
increased demand 1 naturally causes
material advances in coat.
It is believed in many authoritative
quarters that velour hats have assuiii-
ed a permanent place in America as
