On Retail Shoe Prices Told by Shoe
Retailer.


The retail shoe trade all over The coun.
try is naturally wondering what effect,
| If any, the removal Of the duty on hides
will have upon price Of spring samples,
soon to be put on the road from all
manufacturing centers,
The situation, as viewed by prominent
shoe manufacturers Of this section re-
recently canyassed BY the New England
Shoe and Leather association, appears
to be about as followss
Although II win tadse several months
to get actual results in leather made
from free hides, se@.imental result will
undoubtedly be in eyiotnce at once. No
retailer who follows che course Of the
leather market VIII, however, expect to
see this result in lower prices az pres
ent.
During the last five months there has
been the most tremendous advance in
price for both heavy hides and cals1kins
that has ever taken place. Native STEER
hides, which ordinarily average in price
between eleven cents and twelve cents
per pound have sold at seventeen cents;
and green calfskins, for which a fair av-
eIaqe price would be twelve and one hall
cents Or thirteen cents. have been sold
for twenty cents Those are the highest
prices for both commodities ever record.
ed
The reasons for this advance were
largely natural The percentage Of in
crease in the consumption Of leather has
been greater than in the production Of
hides and skins. On heavy cattle hides,
it is doubtless true that the tariff has
enabled the packers to manipulate tie
market and force up prices unduly. We
may, therefore. hope to see any further
advance prevented by the removal Of the
tax.
On calfskins there has been no duty.
and the extreme advance has been due
20 the fact that for several seasons the
demand, both for summer and winter
goods, has been largely for calfsSins
The foreign markets are bare. and we
are several million skins short Of actual
requirements at home. Under these con
ditions, talk about low prices Of shoes
of any kind seems unwarranted
Not one pair Of shoes has vet been
made from the leather produced from
hides or skins purchased az the figures
above quoted. Manufacturers are now
using sole and upper leather made from
hides which cost fourteen cents or less.
and calf leather from skins that cost
sixteen cents. Prices Of shoes made from
heather produced from hides Of cattle and
calfskins must advance, or the tanners
who have paid these present prices for
hides and skins must take heavy loss
This they don't intend to do, and are
to day compelled 10 ask such prices for
leather as would naturally advance the
price Of shoes to the consumer fifty cents
per pair
Any less advance than This viii be
solely in consequence Of the check in the
steody advance in price Of heavy hides.
brought about by the removal of the Is
per cent duty.
The utmost dealers can hope or expect
is that free hides will hold prices OF sole
leather and heavy dressed leather down
somewhere near the present level, and
that the full advance in caliskins must
be paid

FEWER ALIENS ARE
COMING TO STATES
Decrease in Immigration Most Not
iceable Among Poles and
Italians.

Washington. July 22.-The tide Of
immigration into the United States is
on the wane. A falling off of 23,369.
or approximately 90 per cent. in the
number of immigrant aliens admitted
into all ports for the month of June,
as compared with May last. is shown
by statistics just made public by the
bureau of immigration of the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
The total number of immigrant aliens
admitted for June was S5.470, as against
107.S39 during May. A marked in.
crease. however. is noted in the num-
Der of aliens debarred for the month
of June as compared with May, the
figures being I.646. against 1.095.
An interesting feature of the statis-
tics is. that while by far the largest
immigration came from southern Italy
and Poland during the month of June.
these two countries show the greatest
falling off in the number of aliens ad-
mitted during June, compared with
May. The total number of Immigrants
from southern Italy in June was IL
223 and from Poland 10,990, against
2S.05S from southern Italy and 1883
from Poland in May last

antagonistic to an income tax for two
reasons. One is that wealth is con-
centrated in these states. and wealth
would be taxed under the proposed
legislation. The more important rea-
son is that New England fears that if
new revenue is raised from the rich
the tax on things manufactured in
New England would be reduced.
Lower tariff rates on manufactured ar
ticles would force the tariff trusts TO
compete to moderate extent with
foreign manufacturers, thus damaging
their monopoly on American markets
and making it impossible for them TO
extort excessive prices.
The prospect of amending the coa-
stitution to pave the way for an in
come tax may be appreciated when i.

tion, while only Is have been success
