THE PRICE OF SHOES.
Why is it So Low Compared with the Cost
of Producing Them?

The problem we find the most difficult
to wrestlc with is: What can be the
reason why shoes are so low compared
with the cost Of producing them. and
why does not leather bring enough to
yield any profit on the labor of manufac
turing it, at the lowest rates at which
hides can be bought: All this would
be readily comprehensive if it were true
that the stocks Of shoes were excessive.
but the weight of evidence supports the
proposition that such is not the case.
That there will he shoes enough to ac
commodate the demand may be taken
for granted. There are extensive fac
tories in which to make them and ample
material to make them of. But that
there will be so many more than enough
as to render the production of them as
unrcmunerative az it is now for any
great length of time, we consider highly
improbable. We entertain the l,clief that
the surplus holdings Of vendors and con-
SumerS are essentially reduced. that they
have been using up their reserves to such
an extent that they will require addition
al supplies in sufficient quantities to es-
tablish values which will admit of salts
factory profits TO producers.
Our conviction in this respect is
strengthened by the undisputcd fact that
dealers are almost all asking that the
shoes they have bought or are buying
should be dispatched to them with the
least possible delay. The natural infer
ence is that they withheld their orders
AZ long as they could. and longer than
they have been accustomed to: that they
are accordingly running short, and find
it necessary to replenish quickly. This
applies, of course, chiefly to shoes that
are worn by the masses and sold at low
figures, but Of these there are vast guam
titles consumed, and when the stocks Of
II
low the ave rage. a great many are need
ed to make up the deficiency, especially
at a time of the year when the want OF
shoes is most pressing. OF the more eX-
pensiye kinds. of which fewer are worn,
prices are less, and perhaps not at all
inadequate But we have the idea that
the rates alike Of the low and the high
priced will be equally adjusted presently.
to the advantage equally of sellers and
