1t is asserted that last Thursday night

THERE IS MONEY IN HIDES.

The Northwestern Hide and Fur Co.,
Minneapolis, write us:
man from White Rock, S. D.. was
IN our store few days ago. He buys
hides and furs through the county and
sells washing machines, etc. We asked
him II he was able to buy hides so as to
make profit. He said, Well, guess
SO; | double my money on them. I
make about 81 average He says that
De1ore he commenced buying hides in
our country, the butchers we're only
paying two or three cents pound
about onefourth their value. Now is
not this astonishing? We know that
this is true for other farmers told us
the same thing last year. The explain
alton for this is, that the farmer usual
ly kills about one in a year. He does
not take the trouble to post himself on
the hide market as he does on the grain
market. Then there are great many
who do not understand shipping, as
simple process as it is. The butchers,
viz Ouy AAOoI VI luC uluoS, Tell Iu0m
that if they ship they are liable to lose
the hides entirely
THE result is that not one hide in 20
is shipped. They are either sold or al
lowed to go to waste. They throw
them upon fence and there they stay
until they are glue stock, and peddlers
passing through the country pick them
up either for nothing, or for few cents
worth of cheap tinware. AS bad as
this condition is, it is not as bad as it
was. This is due to our educational
matter and the assistance of the agri-
cultural press.
mo doubt there are thousands of
your readers in arrears this year who
will sell COW hide for one-half or one
third it's value, losing enough to pay
four years subscription.
IF he lets it dry up and become glue
stock, the loss is double. Not one horse |
in ten is skinned. Lots of farmers do
not know that the skins of dead animals |
bring full value if taken off before they !

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The weakness in
STOCKS To-Day was response to the WORLD
WIDE TIGHTNESS IN MONEY. A marked
effect was also produced by the supreme
court decision in the Addystone Pipe case
lnVolvlng the infringement of the antitrust
law by industrial combination. Strenuous
Efforts were made by professional operators
to belittle the force Of this decision, on
the ground that the party to the case was
particular illustration OF a trust forma-
tlon, and that the points of the case could
not apply to the general run of industrial
combinations, but the acute effect produced
on the securities OF these combinations ar
gued an apprehension on the part of holders
that their value would be impaired by the
decision. Stocks of the industrials fell
anywhere from l to points, and showed
but feeble rallying power. There was
some early strength in Burlington some of

like the Seven Financial Conspiracies,"
which show the shocking misgovern-

that an army of officials should be hired
