HYDE PARK.
Ex-Gov c. S. Page Thursday shipped
a car load of skins from his hide house to
France. y short time ago a shipment was
made to Turkey, in Asia Minor. The
foreign trade in hides and skins, COM
mencing in Wales five years ago, was ex-
tended to England thence to Belgium,
to France. Italy Switzerland. Germany,
, Holland. and finally has been opened with
I Turkey. Shipments of hides are received
from all parts of the United States
though principally confined to the New
: England and Middle States and Canaa.
- From the extreme western part of the
o last mentioned place. many hides are OBJ
! tanned The large cities of the South fur
nlsh many also but the largest shipments
: of hides are received from Denver, Col.
AS indicative of the growth of trade DUR
, ing December last there a gain Of
70 per cent in heavy hides, 100 per cent in
sheep pelts horse hides and COW hides
over the same month of last year. For
4 January an increase of between so per cent
5 and 40 per cent was noted in beef hides.
in sheep pelts horse hides and tallow.
Like gains might be shown for other
months, The whole has compelled the
constant enlargement of the capacity OF
the buildings used, the introduction of new
and improved machinery and the large in
: crease of the number of employees, both
D those directly engaged in the business and
those in the office. A prominent addition
to tho business of Mr.. Page has been the
recent introduction of a wool pulling es-
1 tablishment by which n large trade has
i sprung up In wool and sheep pets, re-
y curing a large force of men In this de-
! partment alone.-Miss Clarssa G.. DEMO,
