| HIDES AND SKINS-The circular of Sum-
ner d Co., says: " Large stocks of Dry Hides
| continue on hand, with depressed market.
| California Dry Hides are selling in New York at
| very low figures, sound Hides at 16I29l7c and
| Culls at two thirds price, on time. There does
not seem to be much encouragement for better
| values for several months. Sailed Hides show
a downward tendency. Hides come in freely,
causing large stocks OIL hand in this city. Heavy
| Steers for sole and harness are in demand. Me-
dun steers sell fairly well, but Medium Cows
| and Light Hides are quiet. Kip, Veal and Calf
| are exceedingly dull. Sailed Hides with center
| brands are very undesirable, the leather from
such stock is sold at less rates. Hides with bad
center brands Will have to be thrown out at less
| rates than the prlce paid on sound Hides. Deer
Skins are active at advanced rates owing to local
| demand. Goat Skins are very dull, at close
| with good fleece can be used for mats, but best
| f-breeds are not wanted at any price, The
| Wool market is very dull, at lower prices than
| have been known for many years. Sheep Skins,
| therefore, rule at low rates Late advices from
the East quote a poor market at that center.
The local market is lower, being quotable as
