Harness Leather.

Trade in this line is exceptionally dull. A
representative Of one OF the largest tan.
neries of Allegheny said: 81 have not known
trade as quiet or prices as low for many
years. In ordinary years, our products
move about as fast as they are ready for
markets. or late stock has been accumu-
lating." What is true of harness leather is
also true of sole leather"
Following are the prices of harness leather
as established by the Allegheny tanners:
No. trace, SSc per n; B trace, 36c per b;
No. extra heavy, 100 rs and over, 36c per
b; B extra heavy, Bic per b; No. extra
he neavy. ssc per h; No l heavy, lso to l6o MS,
CSC per h; black line, 29c per b.
Foot Wear.
Following is the situation and outlook as
viewed by the Boston Herald: The boot
and shoe trade is still a waiting one Lead
ing houses have sufficient orders to COM
mence the season on, and they are con-
fldently expecting more as they come to
want them, but the amount of trade already
secure6 is not up to that Of former years
The very conservative feelies among the
jobbers, as to buying goods, previously
noted, is yet a feature of the market. 1t is
suggested that it is process of ''evening
up" following the ov v2rpurchnTng of q
couple of seasons precious. 1t is ays: sug-
gested that a brisk retail trade at ths be-
ginning of winter is Nsy likely to so greatly
reduce stocks as to make a good demand
and heavy trade late in the season.
There is good number of boot and shoe
buyers here in person, but they do not ap-
pear to be ordering goods freely: on the con-
trary, they seem to be testing the strength
of the market in order that they may buy,
when they get ready to do SO, at as easy
prices as possible. Some of the larger job
bing houses in the country are represented,
but the representatives are not yet purchas-
ing goods.
The upper leather market continues very
quiet though better trade is looked for
at once since there is already a better move
ment in sole leather This movement is of
recent date, but it is altogether likely that
the buyers of sole leather will also be free
buyers Of upper leather.

Chicago wheat market that was anticipated.
Indeed, the reports of the issue of this i'm

pected that traders generally had taken it
for granted that the prohibition was but q
ukase had spent to a great degree itself be-

Iow the aggregate of the previous week

Mcdonald was the principal handicap, but
the almost 'ltter Indifference of the outside

apathy. Traders are beginning to think that

they will be neither far-reaching nor pcrma-

OFFICE OF PTTTSBuRG DtSPATCh,
SATURDAY, November 2LS
The week past has been characterized by
unusual auietness in produce trade circles.
With the exceptions of dairy products and
poultry markets have been sluggish all the
week. Prices are practically the same in
most lines as they were week ago. In
fruit lines we note the departure of grapes
for the season. The few still offered are
not inviting, as they are for the most part
frosted. Bananas that were received this
week have come in heated cars and quality
is much better than it has been of late.
With the Improvement in quality comes
more active markets and better prices
Florida oranges have been coming to the
front of late in larger quantity than our
markets are able to absorb, and prices have
steadily been on the decline. Arrivals in
this line are much earlier this season than
usual Vegetables of all kinds are moving
slowly, at the same old prices. The cold
wave in the early part of the week exercised
stimulating influence on creamery butter
and cheese, and prices are a shade higher in
these lines
Groceries are moving along in the same
old ruts. Sugars are up1sc, and green coffee
1c per pound during the week, and are very
firm at the rise. Other staples are unchanged.
1t will be seen by reference to the home
market column that hog products have
once more declined. The reason for this
is found in the large receipts of hogs at live
stock centers. There were IS carloads of
hogs weighed at the East Liberty yards on
Monday, the largest number ever weighed
there on a single day. In cereal lines we
note a steady upward movement of new
corn, oats and hay.
Hides and Calfskins.
There have been no new developments in
this line for th- week past; certainly there
has been no Improvement Beef hides are
very dull at the decline noted last Saturday.
The situation is in favor of the buyer, as
there is little disposition OH the part of tan
ners to lay in stocks in the present stagnant
condition of trade. Steer hides and calf
skins are barely steady. Receipts of heavy
steer hides are likely to be larger in the
near future than they have been all fall.
Following are rates paid by hide dealers and
tanners for stock delivered here:
