LEATHER FAIR.—BRISTOL, SEPT. s.—Our leather
fair commenced on Tuesday last, and has nut produced any
alteration in prices, or in any way altered our opinion as
to the prospects of the approachingseason. The attendance
of the trade was not so large as upon some previous cocas.
sions, and sales having been extensive during the past
month, we are not disappointed in having to report our
transactions smaller than usual. The supply of leather
brought forward has scarcely amounted to an average at
our autumn fairs, and consequently the stocks remaining on
hand are not large. We see no reason to doubt that a steady
demand will be experienced during the fall of the year, and
that present prices will be fully maintained.—Dressing
Leather: Best saddlers' hides have been in moderate sup-
ply, and have met a fair inquiry common bides have been
in limited demand, but the supply not having been large,
there has been no alteration in their value ; shaved hides,
suited for best bridle work, have been scarce, and those of
secondary quality have not been by any means plentiful.
There has been more demand for pattern and heavy skins,
though late prices have scarcely been maintained. Light
skins have not been much inquired fur. There has been
a fair demand for East India kips; Petersburg and Eng-
lish kips have been in short supply. Spanish and English
horse hides have not experienced any improvement.
Bails have met a fair inquiry, and those of light average
especially have been much in demand, with a very short
supply. Seal skins continue scarce.—Sale Leather : There
have been some considerable sales of heavy. foreign butts,
and those of extra substance are much inquired fur. We
are anticipating a good demand at about present prices, but
we can see no immediate prospect of an advance. English
butts have not been much inquired for. Some considerable
sales of foreign and English bellies have teen effected, and
our stocks are much reduced. Shoulders both English and
foreign arc saleable.—Curried Leather: There has been a
fair demand for dressed hide and kip butts ; in other articles
very little has been done.—Raw Goods : We have had one
arrival into this port since our last; the Merchant, from
Buenos Ayres, with about 6,500 hides. Somo sales hare
been made, but they have nut been extensive. We hold
some portions of each canto mentioned in our last at our
quotations.—Bark and Valonia We have no transactions
of importance in bark to notice. The stock of valonia held in
' this market is very considerable, and prices have decidedly
a downward tendency.
. _

Limps, SEPT. 3.—We had about an average supply .of
leather at this fair, with a good demand fur most descnp.
dons, particularly shaved hides, which met a ready sale, but
without any advance in prices.
