Boston HIDE and Leather Market.

|HHJ
The general tone of the market Ii unchanged and
there has been no increase of business. The re-
ceipts of sole leather are not accommodating, and
prices on all grades quite strong.
Rough leather is in good supply, and excepting
the best of tannages prices are rather in buyers ia
vor.
Calf skins remain dull and the sales of both
rough and finished leather are light.
Wax and kip are moderately active and the de.
mand Is sufficient to prevent any accumulation Of
desirable tanneries,
Grain leather is quiet and the demand for splits
is limited,
Hides are firmly held and there is fair inquiry
at prices within range of quotations.
