The tanning business has now reached n
point of depression quite exceptional in the
general prosperity of business. The Shoe
and Leather Reporter says that half the tam
neries in the country are idle, not for their
usual summer repairs, but with the avowed
intention of stopping production until the
great stock of leather on hand has been con-
sumcd or exported. The fact is that in the
manufacture of leather there has been an
over production, so that in spite of constant
" rising prices for hides, leather.has been
drug at old prices, and tanners have realized
a profit scarcely equal to the ordinary rate of
interest.
