THE PRICE OF SHOES.
Higher Cost of Leather Sends Them
 Up Ten Per Gent.

Op 16u Ter C0nC.
 Vienna, Dec 26.-The Austrian man. ufacturers have decided to advance the price of shoes ten per cent on ac- count of the higher cost of leather They claim this step is due to exten- rsive purchases of hides in the Euro pean markets by Americans, who have practically cleaned out the continental stocks. The Austrians also profess to see increased danger to the European shoe industry from America, owing to the United States government refund ing 90 per cent of the tariff on the raw article when manufactured and ex- ported. They complain that this pro- cedure is too greatly facilitated by Secretary Shaw's order admitting proof of identity by simple declara- tion, instead of by affidavit.
