Higher Cost of Shoes

The country startled the other day by
prediction from high authority shoes and eath-
er that the prices of shoes would be from $3 to $4
more by next spring. The principal reason for the
advance given at the time the soaring price of
leather, although growing cost of production al
so mentioned Dgent efforts to get all the facts
have brought out some rather general explanations.
One is that the end of the has ended the promis
cuous slaughter of animals, with corresponding re-
duction in the supply of hides. 1t is stated
by w. G. Field of the Hide and Leather Journal that
Europe has been buying heavily and that since re-
moval of the government maximum price of 40 cents
pound for calfskins in the rough competitive bid
ding has sent the price to IS cents. A prominent
representative of the Tanners National Council says
that European buyers have been in this country
buying up live stock to replace cattle slaughtered
during the and that this has bad the effect of
reducing the number of hides. here and abroad. as
they bought to kill but to restock countries
in continental Europe.
A Chicago wholesaler, says cost of handling is
large element in the increased prices. He told
Tribune reporter that he wearing pair of shoes
which St. Is the factory but which, after the
jobers expenses and profit and the retailers expens-
es and profit, would retail for $l2. He did not dis
causes likely to force greater increases.
But these explanations do not cover all the alb
normal conditions It-is reported that millions of
hides lying IN Russia, without proper storage.
The arrangement of transportation prevents the ut-
zation of this stock. It is also stated that in
South America hides have been accumuating for four
years, owing to the lack of ships. If this be true,
the emergency should receive prompt attention 1t
would seem to be an excellent opportunity to utilize
our new merchant marine and use it at once. The
present price of leather highly priced shoes,
and the sooner the stored hides made available
the sooner the relief to the public.
