These leggings are made of leather or pigskin. The work has been done at Rock Island, Illinois, where the ordnance department has an arsenal and the output has been one of the inn portant products at that establishment It is found that the high price of ma terial and the fact that the work is done by hand have so increased the cost of the leggings that army officers find it more advantageous to buy these articles from private firms. The gov ernment production was begun at a time when no supply was obtainable in the market. Hereafter officers will have to go to the stores for their leg gings, as orders have been given by General William Crozier chief of ord nance of the army, to discontinue the manufacture of them at Rock Island. The stock on hand will be sold so far as there is demand for the leggings.
