Old tanners tell us that there never was
a time when there were not enough got
skins 10 go around, says the Shoe and
Leather Reporter. On the other hand,
there never was time before this when
there was such a general demand for l.Id
for shoes and other purposes. It's nae is
almost universal for all kinds OF shoes.
We hear from many morocco msnufao-
turers that they have only limited sup

We import between 30. .0o0, 900 and 40, 100000
raw goatskins annually and there were
l0000,o00 skins Imported into the United
States from Calcutta in 1900 This was
more than two-thirds OF the skins mar
keted there. Philadelphia kid manufac-
turer have stores and agencies thero, but
most OF the trade ordered through CAL

States would seem to keep the number

Now there stock is SS5 bales. All but
thirty-five bales are 23O pounds and over

bought before arrival.
OF Brazils and other South American
skins the marKet is depleted. This IL a
