were only working on about 10 per
cent of their normal output.
when the war ended and the Amer
lean tanners went into the foreign
markets for new stock they found that
the foreigners were just as anxious to
obtain raw materials as we were. In
fact the foreigners made desperate ef-
forts to outbid the American dealers
Tor material. The result was that we
had to pay prices that were almost pro-
hlbltive. The same conditions held
true with regard to the materials held
IN this country. English, French and
Italian buyers have been in our mar
Fets paying fancy prices for practically
all the better grades of leather they
could obtain.
"With the demand increasing our
supply of tirst-class raw stocks are
diminishing. There is a large guam
tity of cheaper grade leather available,
but this material is not of the charac-
ter usually utilized in making shoes Of
the better class for wear in America.
Some tanners cannot take orders from
shoe manufacturers for certain classes

stance, to buy mat kid at any price,
while the shortage of calfskn is de-
cidedly acute. While the best calfskin
comes from domestic. animals, Russia
was at one time an important factor in
supplying US with these skins. None
has been received from that country
since before the war. Goat skins are
being received here from India and
other Far East points, but it takes
three months for shipments to come
here and another three months in tan
ming the skins.'
In summing up the situation aside
from the scarcity of hides and skins,
Mr.. Grossman declared that present
shoe prices are based on an increase of
so per cent in the cost of labor during
the last two years; an increase of
about 800 per cent in the cost of upper
leather since 1914; an advance of about
250 per cent in sole leather costs dur
ing the same period, and the cost of
shoe findings going up about $50 per
cent.

Leather
British RemoUe Resfyic.
tiOns on Imports OF
Upper Leather

Removal OF the restrictions on the
importation of high grade leather in
to England, officially announced yes
terday, is not expected to have any
immediate influence upon the condi-
tion of the leather market here. For
some time following the signing of the
arnistlce British purchasing agents.,
headed by Percy Daniels. combed the
American market for high grade leath-
er. Considerable of the material they
purchased is said to have already been
shipped as the embargo did not affect
the British governments requirements.
Additional large quantities of hides
and skins and leather are reported to
be held in warehouses here awaiting
shipping Instructions
During the last few months local
dealers in leather have reported that
representatives of English merchants
made heavy purchases in the United
States in anticipation Of the early
removal of the governmental ban on
importations. This leather, which is
of The best quality, probably viii be
shipped abroad in the near future.
AS a forerunner of the lifting OF the
general restrictions, the British gov
ernment late in March removed the
import embargo on wax splits. rough
splits and sole leather-of all cheaper
grades of leather
According to information received
by the Tanners Council the English
authorities have ruled that all upper
leather purchased before April will
be admitted into England forthwith,
while purchases made subsequent to
that date will be admitted after June
10. Several weeks ago it was an
nounced that the British embargo on
nigh grade leather probably would be
lifted on June 40

BurIap Holding Firm

While orders placed for burlap yes
terday were only of fair volume, prices
were I'm and offerings by importers
were small. Goods containing 712
ounces to the yard sold at $50 cents,
with the S-ounce grade commanding 10
cents and the 1012-ounce product l124
to y cents yard. The sharp advances
that have been scored in the Calcutta
market has set up differences that the
Dundee product, which is made from
jute imported from India, may possibly
become factor in the local market
Calcutta nskcs the coarser kind of
burlap, while Dundee turns out the
better Grades.

Of certificates of Indebtedness now

in amount the total of the Victory

weeks, on June 3, June II, July l, July
20. This is precisely the opposite proc
ess from that going on before the
loan, when the burden of the banks be-
came heavier every fortnight. Unless
there is sufficient new government bor-
rowing to balance it should mean an
increasing supply of funds available
for business.

ceptances were quoted at 5 and 81 per

New-York tribune., 1919-05-21

There seems to have been a slightly
filmcr tendency in the commercial
paper market during the last few days.
There is no broad market at per cent.
The general rate is 81. Occasionally
a BIG name will sell for 5 per cent,
but the market at that rate is either
in New York or Chicago or some other
large city. The country banks will
not buy paper at per cent, probably
because they find other investments
more profitable there.
The present low rate for CONNER
cial paper is somewhat peculiar in re-
lation to other rates. Some banks will
buy all the paper offered to them at
54 per cent, but though brokers can
sell paper at 5A they viii be charged
512 per cent if they want to borrow
money for themselves This is the re-
verse of usual conditions. 1t is such
a condition as this which leads to
predictions in some quarters of higher
rates. A market ranging from 5A to
5 u per cent is expected by some as
soon as business borrowing increases,
a development which is now being more
generally expected. However, the fall
ing off of government borrowing may
prove to be the chief influence in the
market
The bank acceptance market was un-
usually quiet yesterday This was at
tributed to the payment by the mem
Der banks of the 10 per cent initial
instalment on the Victory notes to the
Federal Reserve banks.
This payment will reveal for the first
time the exact amount of oversub-
scription to the Victory loan and the
total number of subscribers. The pay
ment was made mainly in certificates

Threatened Shortage OF
Towels Reported by Agents

Commission agents for the leading
manufacturers of table cloths, napkins
and towels, reported yesterday that
customers were more plentiful than
goods. The largest producer of towels
in the uniteJ States has booked as
much business as it can handle, and it
was predicted that unless the mills can
speed up production there will be a
scarcity of goods. Ii the predicted
paucity of supplies eventuatcs, it was
said that the smaller jobbers, who have
been timld about placing advance or
ders, Will have TO 60 without stocks.
