New Orders to Coal Dealers.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 90
Fuel Commissioner Crossley has is
sued the following orders to coal
dealers throughout the state:
"Wholesale dealers in coal. mine op-
orators and others engaged in the
selling OF coal in carload lots are pro
hbited making shipments OF same to
any individual, group of individuals,
firm or corporation to whom retail
dealers license has not been issued
by the federal fuel admin strator tor
Missouri, provided that this ruling
shall not in any sense apply TO coal
FOR industrial use. public utilities.
municipal plants, factories, schools,
city, county, state or municipal lnst'-
1utions.'
The fact that the retail dealers
must now operate under license is the
reason ior the issuance of this ruling,
which seeks to place the retail coal
business upon a systematic well-or-
ganized basis.

Losses on Hides.

There has long been a feeling
among the American people that the
prices on shoes, based as they prl-
marily are upon the unprecedented
increase in the price of leather, were
unjustiliable. 1t has been believed
that the great packing houses are at
the bottom OF this enormous increase,
and that controlling the tanneries,
they are in a position to manipulate
the leather industry to the detrlment
ui the consumer who buys the shoes.
Now the packers arc bittery conn
planning OF the startling decrease in
hide values. From Omaha. it is ad-
mittcd that branded cowhidcs which
were worth IS to 80 cents 4 pound :,
few months ago, are now selling at
from 10 to Is cents, while from Chi
cago the head OF the Swift packing
house nourns that the demand has
not cquallcd the supply and that
stocks OF green hides are therefore
increasing. rs Il result. all the hide
hoarder, are due to a heavy loss un-
as long as Shoe quotations, linger
where they are now, the consumption
OF shoes will decrease rather than in
crease The American people feel
that they are being robbed by the
tanning industries which are allied
closely with the packers on the one
hand and the shoe factories on the
other ~ long As they feel this way
about it they will keep their shoe
purchases lpwn to the very mini
mum--l' 'cnry County Democrat.
