AS TO HATS.
Dinger Bros, matters, said: "Hats

chlldrens mats. Wherc formerly we
received s. for hat we now get 81 so,
and for q better grade at that. This is
due to some extent to improved STYLES

the manufacture OF hats is seen in the
fact that prior to the passage OF the
passage OF tho Mckinney Dill all hat
oands had 10 DC imported with the ex'
eeeptlon OF the very cheapest grades.
NOW all Dands arc made IN TINS coun-
>Iry Tor less money. Inc principal
manufacturing point Is located at Dan
bury, Conn.
another singular TACT ABOUT the hat
business Is, before the Dill went into
ellect there were hye special nat I'M
porters In New York city, and to-day
there Is only one, and only two import
ers OF French crush mats IN America.
These have also advanced from 81 90 to
- dozen. inns causes small reduc-
lion OF profits to tho retail dealer, and
We refuse to carry many IN stock, and
the natural result was that this created
greater demand Tor American-made
hats, which are moro durable and
cheaper"

George K. Taylor was asked about the
effect OF the Mckinley bill on muslins.
"Muslins have notadvanced, but have
been about the same in the last three
years, with tho exception OF slight tluc-
tuations OF the market. The Mckinley
act does not Affect muslin, as most mus
Inns arc domestic, aud very little is i'm
ported. Glngnams are cheaper.
George .; stltel d Co.. said: Mus

shade lower There IS not much change
IN the price, only the casualtiuctuations
OF the market, and retail buyers are not
affected by that. Lonsdalo muslins
have been at the same priso for years,
