Heavy Leather Inventories.

This same authority in speaking OF
Central Leather and American Hide and
Leather says both concerns are carry
ing heavy inventories OF raw materials
and completed leather which at the
prices they now command ought TO show
a largely increased profit for the compa-
MES when they go out to the trade. The
Hide and Leather fiscal year ends June
30, and its report for the 1918 period
shows inventories OF $1l,SS9,4Sl, or
about % per cent larger than two years
ago. At the end of the last year the
Central Leather Company reported in
ventories of s63.476,2Ss The possibility
of profit In the conditions that now con-
front the leather trade from such hold
ings OF materials seems great. 1t Is re-
ported that both concerns in the last few
months have bought largely at low
prices. mostly in the decline in March
last. Now the price of hemlock sole
leather in New York Is about so cents,
the same as when the Central Leather
annual inventory was made up. In
February and March 1t was down near
40 cents"

General Motors.

Bears In General Motors scented a
sensation when reports came from the
floor In the afternoon session that the
best bid was IA for the stock, at which
time the last sale stood at 1914, but
their hopes were short lived. for the low
figure for the day was 154k. No expla-
nation for the wide spread between bid
and asked prices. which at one time was
1915. was forthcoming. though the
fact that the special stockholders meet
ing In Wilmington was in session was be-
lieved to account for the break in the
stock, which lost IN points net. Very
little stock was caught when the bid was
lowered, however. and though the stock
holders approved the increase in the
General Motors capital stock. It is not
certain how this action will affect the
market for the present outstanding
stock.

Some confusion was created by the

in reality highly encouraging. The
statement made by the bank said: "a

the necessity OF credit conservation with

operation, and where a borrower Is
asked to reduce loan having securities
or commodities as collateral emphasis
should be laid on the necessity of
