Owing to unfayorable report re-

heavy hides had declined from 3 to

a further cut in hide prices as coun-
try hide market is unsettled and tow
given herewith.
HIDES: Market is still unsettled
and lower. Tanners refuse to buy
current receipt hides except at low
prices and we are forced to lower our
quotations.
PELTs: The market is lower in
sympathy with the unsettled wool
cut our prices soc each on full wool
pelts.
TALLOW: The market rules firm,
although consumers are trying to
pound down prices but it seems the
scarcity of fats will not admit of
much Of a decline, if any.
RAW FURS: Prices have been
forced very high and a reaction has
already taken place on some articles
and 1t Is expected others will follow.
Muskrat, Weasel, Wolf and Mink are
still wanted. With warmer weather
fur bearing animals will tart to shed
