CHICAGO HIDES.
Shoe and Leather Review.
While the packer market ruled quiet the
center of interest moved to country hides
Large sales of buff hides at SIC caused
something of sensation. 1t is admitted that
upper leather hides are not in large supply,
but the advance of rs per cent in twelve
weeks was regarded an Illogical boom.
The jump from 81ac to SC in few hours
after election was caused by the anxiety of
one or two buyers. As soon as the exciting
cause was removed Quietness supervened and
the drop to S1ac resulted. The future of the
market is uncertain. Many buyers think Sc
will be accepted before long, while others
incline to the belief that the small supplies
of hides coming forward will at least sustain
present values.
Bluffs, 40 to 60 lbs have weakened 1sc since
last week. Sales of 5000 Bluffs and 2s were
made since Monday at S1Ac and SC. These
transactions cleaned up everything in sight.
The dealers tried to sustain the even figure,
but the absence of buyers caused them to
abate. Most of the stock taken went East.
There is a firm belief that the market will
hold at 812c for several weeks; still some
dealers hold the opinion that lower prices
will prevail inside of week.
Extreme light hides, % to 40 lbs are nom
inal at sac for ones, and Sc for rs, with no
transactions
free of brands and grubs, are held at sac;
No. rs at 7S4c. Side-branded steers are held
at &c fiat.

with Us at SC. Side-branded cows are held at
&c fiat. About 500 branded steers and cows
were sold at 61ac fat.
Native bull hides nominal at SIC and
5%c for rs and rs; no sales.
Calfskins, to Is lbs show no change on
account of scarcity. Very few are coming
l country and 91ac for No rs. The sales Of
last week cleaned up this stock. Choice No.
city calfskins are held for lie and rs for
10c.

Sunks are offered at 20025c.
