in this country is imported. about
25 per cent of the foreign hides
coming from Argentina, Is per
cent from Canada, II per cent
from Mexico, 8 1-2 per cent from
European Russia, and Z 1-2 per
cent from France. Since the out
break of the war importations
have shown a certain falling off,
those for September, 1914, for
example being only 34,000.0OO
pounds, instead of $4,000, 900
pounds the previous year. There
is, however. little reason to sup
pose that this decrease will be
permanent or of sufficient i'm
portance to create any real scar
city. Since the great bulk of the
imported hides comes from coun-
tries that are not at war, ship
ments are not interfered with in
any way, and the only new
factor to be considered is the
possibility of an increase demand
by the warning countries.
1t is believed, however, that
