Saturdays Chicago Shoe and Leather
Review said: There has been consider
able activity in this market during the
week Considerable trading was done in
sole leather hides. Prices rule slightly
easier. still there is better feeling among
the packers, as tire has ban a good d.
mand for native steers and Colorados
The latter were taken by a tanner who
had not visited this market for several
months. This has helped to clean stocks
up closely. II is anticipated that the cat
tie receipts will fall off next week, as cut
rates from the Missouri river points will
expire Sunday, when former live stock
rates will be restored. Packers claim that
there is more of their leather being sold
in eastern markets than for several
months"
