THE HATING OUTLOOK.


July Is was the date for settling
prices in all the hat factories in town.
Farnham & Fairchid's mapping shops
have been idle for about two weeks on
account of differences in prices for Ia
Dor. The matter was settled on Tues
day, this week, the firm allowing a
small advance on some grades of hats.
The Judd & Dunning Hat CT. made d
satisfactory agreement with their
workmen. Asl far as heard from at
present writing most Ofthe bosses have
come to an agreement with wOrkmen.
It is expected that the bill of prices
will be nearly uniform throughout the
United States where union labor is
employed. Most of the factories are
more busy this week. Orders for the
first line of samples will be gotten out
as fast as is practical. 1t always takes
some time to get a factory into full
working order after the dull season Is
over. Undoubtedly a larger hat will
be called for this falls trade, wider
brimS and larger curlS will probably
take. There is no indication yet that
fancy colors will sell. but still later on
may develop something that will sell.
With the present good feeling between
the employer and employee Bethel hat
factories will keep up their Standa I'd
for good work, and be able to compete
with other districts for quality and
style. It's an old saying among hat
tiers that when the retail trade have
had large sale for straw hats they
are better prepared to pay for stock
of fur hats.

THE TREATY SHORE QUESTION.

NEWFOUNDLAND AWAITING AN INTIMATToN
FROM LONDON.
ST. Johns. N F., Jan. 12-The colonial legis-
lature will meet on February 13.
The colonial government has up to the present
time received no request from the British Cabi-
net for the renewal of the French Shore modus
vivendi. 1t is believed in official circles here
that the cabinets of France and Great Britain
are consulting over the prospect of effecting an
arrangement of this question more acceptable to
Newfoundland. If the British Cabinet desires a
renewal of the modus vivendi, which expired on
December 81 1901, the fact will probably be in
timated during the next few days. The colonial
government is awaiting some intimation of the
policy of Great Britain before taking action in
the matter.
