HIDES AND LEATHER.—Although we were enabled
to 000gratnlate our friends, and the leather trade in general,
at 0. aniroepomrit of the pad year, that the monetary

which had hem so disietrois sad deeolating in iu
gads on seers towhee of menumes, has passed over the
hide and leather trades without having say immediate trice
of injury will, in its influence en prices, these trades had aa
exemption with respect to leather the market was long un-
settled i it was many menthe before any confidence was fah
that prices had reached the lowest point, sad not until the
first half of the year had elapsed that we were able to repots
"greater finonesa" and no •• depreciation in value." This
was succeeded by a decided advance in almost all articles,
which continued for about two months; Mime that period
the market has shown some degree of weakness, stocks hays
slightly inn eased, and quotations of most leading whiles as
reduced. In raw goods the fall in pica was much more
rapid. In January wilted River Plate hides reached their
minimum quotation of the year, 60., and almost all other
ankles met a corresponding decline ; some reaction almost
immediately followed, but, excepting for River Plate hides, it
I wee not long maintained. In April Rio Grande hides wen
sold at their lowest point, 4p1., and our quotations of May
show a further reduction in many articles. A large export
demand, chiefly for the United flutes, combined with tn.
armed confidence on the pen of the home man
now assisted the market, Mocks became much seduced,Z
continuously avenging prices were realised for almost all vii.
elm until the month of October; since which period the tee.
dewy ham been downward. • • We must express oar on .
victim from the present comparatively small stocks of no
goods, the absence of any accumulation of the manufactured
attic e, its higher value in most other countries, and its
favourable condition for consumption which our own country
pmments, that we have in prospect an active demand, and
we hope also—with an adjustment of existing discrepancies
in the relative value of acme articles in the raw and tamed
Mate—a remunerstive trade for the manufacturer. TM
leather trade of the past month has been exceedingly mall,
but towards its close more disposition to purchase was mad-
hated. Calf skins have been much in requiem, portioned,
three of light weights. In raw goods the most important
feature has been the wile, dating the past month, of 22,919
gaited River Plate, and 17,000 Rio Grande hide., chiefly at
prices slightly below our extreme quotations. At Leaden
hall, yesterday, there was not a large supply of fresh leather,
and a considerably increased business was transacted.—
