advance necessarily follows the heavy
advances in the price Of leather. and Mr..
Geuding contends it is not out Of pro-
portior to advances in prices in other
lines. Report No. . OF the National In

sine. 1914 WOODEN goods advanced about
90 per cent and cotton goods about in
the same proportion.
There Is. Of course. no good reason
TO believe that the shoe dealers Of the
country. a. a class. have been more anx-
tous TO take advantage Of their custom
srs than other merchants have. The
leather situation has been made moro
acute during the past two or three
months By the heavy demands from Eu-
ropA. During the greater part OF four
years Of war Germany and other Central
European states received little or no
isather. and n soon as the embargo on

. heavy buyers in the leather markets.
