NEW YORK, May 27-There was
close approach TO absolute stagnation
at the Stock Exchange to-day, the total
sales footing up the meagre total Of 0'o'i
shares. At intervals business came near
ly to a complete standstill. and be-
tween 1 and $50 o'clock not a thousand
shares changed hands Not single
transaction was reported in the Indus

The indlsposltion 10 make new ventures
is stiI due TO the uncertainty regarding
the standing Of the leading candidate Tor
the presidential nomination, and the fear
OF hostile legislation by the Senate in
the matter OF government bond issues

the eold-export movement and the low
price Of farm products caused little IL
quidation in certain securities. There was

We "chop off" the jobber's
profit and give YOU a Straw Hat
for about what it costs other
retailers. That's been the secret
of our wonderful hat selling
from the first.
For example-the same Split
Braid or Sennette Straw that
you'd pay SO or 1925 for every
where else is
