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.

They represent the larger invoices (several over 1,000 dozen) and hence are not so evenly distributed as are the Italian hats.]
