Straw Hat Trade Delayed.

"The uncertain weather which has pre- vailed this spring has affected the straw hat business materially" said promi- 'nent haberdasher yesterday.
 'I am informed by certain travelling salesmen for the big hat establishments, that in Florida, where the weather has not been so bad, matters are already offer ing their stocks of straw hats at re- duced prices. In Birmingham, however, the sales have just about begun, and merchants are not thinking of reducing their prices.
 The style in vogue this year Is the stiff-brimmed yacht straw, while the softer straws are being worn, probably, less u an ever before.
 Straw hats will not be sold here at reduced prices until about month later than usual We didn't get fair start.
