BIC ADVANCE IN
HIDES AND LEATHER
Lewis P. Wiel on the Rapid
Rise and Renewal Of
Confidence.
He Says 1t Is All Owing to
Belief That Mckinley Will
Be Elected.
RISE OF THREE CENTS A POUND
Shoes Advance From Fifteen TO
Twenty Per cent-Sentiment
in the East.
RISE OF THREE CENTS A POUND

Lewis p Wiel, of Buckingham & Hecht,
returned here yesterday after several
months absence in different parts of the
East. Mr.. Wiel says there has been a
very steady advance lately in the price of
hides and leather, and the advance, he be-
lieyes, is wholly attributable to the con-
viction among the people that Mckinley
will be elected.
For q good while it was matter of
doubt what the campaign might bring
forth. Business was generally unsettled.
Everybody was afraid to make a move.
In no business was this more noticeable
than among people handling hides and
leather.
The tanners were afraid to run their
tanneries for fear they could not get rid of
the leather. They were right. too, for the
dealers had no demand for them. The
manufacturers, with whom business was
slow, gave only such orders as were
necessary to supply temporary necessities.
Now, all this is changed,'' said Mr..
Wiel yesterday, land it is u most crafty
Ing condition OF things. The leather and
hide trade has taken new lease of life.
Every body in the business in any way at
the present time is busy.
"Hides have advanced from TO A cents
a pound and soleleatner has also gone up
from to cents. All kinds of leather, I
may say in general way, have advanced
from 20 to 40 per cent. Shoes have ad-
vanced from Is to 20 per cent. This is all
because there is now demand that did
not before exist. Confidence is now par
TALLY restored.
This is undoubtedly because there is a
belief over the country, which has also
taken root among business men, that Mr..
Mckinley will be the next President, and
that we are to have solid, stable Govern

al all nervous over his risk of appearing

For SINE weeks past the Examiner

to the effect that MI. Shortridge vas
