HIDES HIGHER.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-The Chicago Shoe and
Leather Review says: The hide market is at
least 12c higher all around. The, cold facts
are that the demand for hides exceeded the
supply, and the packers put up the prices. 1t
is thought the sudden appreciation of values
will have the effect of checking the buying
movement, and thus preventing further adj
vances. Country buff hides were sold at 80
in Chicago, and the big packers secured 91Ac
for native steers. Packer light native COWS
were also sold at &c, and Texas steers brought
S1bc. In some instances the advance is 1c q
pound.
