Pennsylvania Tanners Views
The hide situation--with the rapidly de-
creasing number of beef cattle in the
United States. is becoming serious. A
prominent tanner in Pennsylvania saws:
For the class of leather we make we
prefer southern hides for chrome on ac-
count of the close texture and fine grain,
but on account of the ticks we have had
to practically stop purchasing southern
hides
This is particularly significant as the
demand for chrome leather is increasing
so that the normal demand for southern
hides will be further decreased
A large percentage of the chrome
leather now produced is finished with the
grain left on. so that all imperfections
and tick marks on the grain side show
very plainly. In the old days when all
the leather for uppers was made from
bark tanned stock. all leather was buffed
and the grain was removed. For this
leather tanners could use cheap hides that

ARRESTS TOO FREQUENT
FOR VISITORS COMFORT
by RALPH r.. SILVER

A man apparently from New YORK blew
into town yesterday afternoon on the
Louisville and Nashville southbound train
al s.25.
He stayed 40 minutes. The last that
was seen of him he was hanging onto
the railing of the rear coach of the 4.05

that he carried about him as he walked
out of the Louisville and Nashville sta

as it was rather hot and he hated heat

himself up on the shady side of the
street. cooked his dapper straw on one
side of his head and looked wise.
At that moment he saw a policeman
walk up to very respectable looking
man and from the few words of the con-
versation which he overheard he saw that
the citizen was being placed under ar

New York, August .-(Special)-The
Iron Age will say tomorrow: A sharp fall
ing off in pig iron production in July
raises the question, how far it is an index
of a slowing down In consumption of iron
and STEEL
At 2,560.646 tons, or .S2601 tons a day, the
July output represents a falling off of
501S tons day from the total of June,
which was 2,62S,56 tons for 30 days. Thus
the July rate is 100000 tons year less
than that of June 900 tons a year less
than that of May, and 3,500,000 tons less
than that of February, when the high
point was reached. In February the coun-
try was producing pig iron at the rate OF
S4,0000,o00 tons a year. The July rate n
30, 500, 900 tons estimating charcoal from
thus represents decline of about 10 per
cent in six months.
Reports from iron and steel markets are
rather more favorable on the whole, just
as the statistics are accenting pig iron
curtailment. In general, foundry iron
prices have been advanced 30 cents above
the point touched in the July dip; southern
iron is probably Is cents higher at $O.15,
