In Table 5, imports of Italian hats at the port of New York in the six months January-June, 1924, have been classified according to foreign values shown on consular invoices. There is a marked concentration of imports in the value groups between $4 and $7 per dozen. About 90 per cent of all the sennit hats and 80 per cent of the total importations had foreign values of less than $7 per dozen.

The imports at the port of New York of hats from England are classified in Table 7. It is evident that the bulk of the English importations are not competitive with Italian hats. Only 28 per cent of the imports from England had a foreign value of less than $7 per dozen.
