N0STANDARD PRICE
ION SHOES POSSIBLE
Fluctuating Costs Make Con-
Fstrol Difficult-Hides and
ks Skins Decline.

lBosroN, Sept. 1o.-There Is no such
fhihg as a standard price for SHOES basel
either on actual cost or replacement Tor
fha reason that both leather and labor
are subject TO shifting price conditions
over which no one has any control, says
ne Shoe and Leather Reporter this
weak
iShoe manufacturers are described as
Being "creatures IN the hands OF rate.
They have no absolute data upon which
10 base prices upon the samples they
are now sending statesmen out TO snow.
Some are talking replacement as int
proper basis of prices while others claim
ii. have bought leather ahead at old rates
ana express willingness to share their
GOOD fortune with their customers. As a
matter of fact no one knows what the
NEXT run of shoes is going to cost.
Hides and skins have declined to
healthy selling basis. To the tanner this
does not spell cheaper leather for the
reason that the extreme quotations Ior
raw material had not been translated
into the finished stock before the mae
market received a check that was well
coined by no one so much as the tanners
There is nothing in sight to indicate
slump or even eagerness to sell. Low
grade leather can be bought somewhere
near buyers ideas, but that was the STU
alton long ago when buyers were retus-
ing to look at anything not giitedged
Tanners have the utmost commence IN
tia future of values. especially In view
or the fact that export duties on hides
ana skins are being imposed by foreign
countries.
