With reference to yesterday's sales of hides it
Leadenhall, a practical correspondent forwards the
following complaint :—" There are great complaints
from the tanners of the bad flaying of the hides,
and which is really injurious to the butcher. If
more care were taken to remedy this evil, higher
prices would be the result, as the London slaughter
I would be much more sought after by the country
buyers."
' A little pamphlet, entitled "The East Indian sad
other Government Guarantees on Railways" (W.
H. Allen and Co., Leadenhall-streut), has just ap-
peared, explanatory of the highly favourable cois-
ditions of Indian railway investments. It is partly
"reprinted from official and other sources," and
partly " reprinted from the limey Market &rine."
