HATHNE TRADE "
13 VERY llllll
The batting season is exceptionally
dull this_year at this time. owing. it
is said, to the high cest of materials
and the lack of orders. Host of the
bats now sold for 88 are hats that
several years ago fetched a top price
of from $3.50 to 84 and people are not
buying in such large quantities.
Hats that have seen one or two sea-
sons use are being reblocked and re
finished and are being used again anl
look.as good as hats that have been
placed on sale in some of the leading
hat shops of the. country.
High wages have nothing to do
with the cost of hats at the present
time, the cost being struply due to ma-
terials. which have risen in some in-
stances over 200 per cent.
