UNITED STATES LEATHERS REPORT.
The annual report of the United States Leather
Company for the year ending December 81. 1898,
was made public to-day. The statement SHOWS
profits Of 50 3G7 854, which added 10 the surplus
in 1894 makes total OF $40 ia 500. and deducting
dividends paid leaves n surplus of S6.47O.6C The
report said that the year evcntful one In
the trade, ana despite an uneven CoulSe " 'i""c
profits were satisfactory. The report goes on:
owing to higher basis for leather and hides upon
which the company Is now operating, coupled
with very limited demand for its products In
the last four months Of the year. the directors
found II desirable to become temporary borrow
ers Of money Upon the basis OF values wheh the
company was organized II was estimated tnat
working capital Of $4,000, 900 would be required
to conduct the business, hence debenture bonds
TO that amount were authorized and $6.OoooOO OF
them sold. Of which $4,000 have since been re-
tired. Low prices during lS93-9t made IL possible
for the company TO conduct its business without
selling the remaining debentures. When prices
advanced and more capital was required IL was
thought wiser to borrow the Treasury bonds
rather than to sell them. this last would In
volve the payment Of a permanent interest
charge.
