Chicnsn Country Hides.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter says: The
local hide market is quiet. There is n better
feeling and little moro Inquiry. Many of
the tanners are almost out OF hides, but they
will walt until thTwar clouds roll BY before
makins efforts to buy. The present situation
Is only essentially waiting one. There are
few small lots of butchers hides coming m
but there are few hides held at country points
and little effort Is being made TO collect the
scattering that are obtanahle. AS soon as
the quality begins TO improve there wil 1t
Is thought, be a stampede for hides. and
prices may react briskly.
