BY efforts to establish q wider utiliza-
ton Of the skins Of sharks in the man

during the past two months At pres
ent Il has on hand about 100 small
shark skins and so large ones. Many
Of these were shipped from Seattle.
About 20 communications have been
received expressing q desire TO expert
ment with this product and the raw
material win be supplied as far as
possible. Manufacturers and brokers
have been advised OF possible sources
of supply and an effort made to inter
est fishermen In this fishery.
In December IL 500 pounds of hides
from Alaska were landed at Puget
Sound ports, and adviees from Mica
ragua state that practically mex
haustible supply may be obtained from
that country Tanned skins from a
number Of persons are being received.
Several small samples received appear
very promising.
The possibility OF using skins of

Skins OF several species have been or
dered for experimentation and viii be
supplied to tanners when received.
