Flocks Of Sheep and
Goats Devastated

This situation, Mr.. Smith explains,
in an interview in the "Glovers' Re-
view," harks back to the scarcity of
raw skins and leather resulting from
the great sacrifice of animal life dur
ing the war. The operations of the
British and Turkish armies in their
course through Mesopotama and the
Far East virtually obliterated focks
of sheep in that region. The focks in
the Balkans were devastated to feed
thousands Of men engaged in fighting
and the cattle herds of Russia were
sacrificed. In the same way the sheep
and goats in France disappeared.
"While a large slaughter of skin
producing animals yields correspond
ingly large supply of pelts for glove and
other purposes under ordinary cir
Gums tances, this slaughter under war
conditions" says Mr.. Smith, "either
wholly sacrificed the skins or they
were so badly cared for as to render a
large part of them worthless. And
what were available for gloves were
used long ago. All of which accounts
for the absence of accumulation of
skins in the hands of collectors and
tanners
Having decided that the shortage of
skins and leather had not been exag-
gerated, | began systematic search in
hope of finding some tucked away in
unheard of places, or in stock at some
OF the tanneries. | called on leading
tanner who | believed would be able to
supply my wants If any one could. In
years gone by he has each year shipped
many thousands Of dozens of leather to
this country, but he had only single
thousand dozens in his entire tannerv.
and those were held at just double the
price | paid for such leather only six
months before
"You know how the American gov
ernment took over all sheep and lamb
SKINS suitable for army jenkins and
other equipment Immediately after we
went into the war. Well. that same
thing happened in Italy and France,
Amazing quantities Of the animals were
killed and the hoeks so reduced that in
the short space Of time since The ar
fnistiee ended the needs Of the French
government there has been no repro
ductlon to make up for the decrease of
standard numbers, Formerly France
received thousands Of tanned lamb
skins from Spain, but during the last
six months has been able to get only
$4,000 worth from that country each
month"
New-York tribune., 1919-03-17

After visiting more than mont
among the glove and leather centres
of England and France George O.
Smith, head of the glove division of
the Mills & Glib Corporation, re-
turned home without having placed
any orders for gloves or skins for
their manufacture. In France he
found that the better grades of gloves
would cost anywhere from $40 to $25
a dozen pairs, and by the time the cost
of transportation and other charges, in
cluding customs duty, had been added
the retailer in this country would have
to pay considerably more for the same
gloves. AS the average unit value Of
all the gloves imported into this coun-
try for the fiscal year of 1913 was
only $644 a dozen pairs, it can be
readily seen the advance represented
by present quotations is one to cause
the importer to hesitate, if it does not
stagger him completely.
While in France Mr.. Smith got into
direct communication with many lead
ing leather dealers in Italy, thinking
they would possibly have goods to
offer at more reasonable prices. But
the Italians, he soon discovered, were
asking more for goods of less de-
sirable quality than the tanners of
France were for their better grades of
leather.
From what he learned while abroad
Mr.. Smith foresees a world wide short
age of gloves for next fall and winter,
and he warns retailers to stock up
now, asserting that before long the
supplies in this country will be even
smaller than that now available, and
prices instead of falling will mount
still higher. Gloves of silk and woollen,
he believes, will have to be worn
more generally in place of those made
of leather before the present period
of scarcity comes to an end.

Mexican Duties on
Railway Supplies Lifted
Decree by Carranza Govern
ment to Aid in Rebuilding
Transportation Systems
Busincss Ners Bureau
Special Correspondence


MONTEREY, Mexico, March 15.-
President Venustiano Carranza has
issued decree permitting the free i'm
portation of certain railway supplies
and materials. These include iron and
steel rails, iron and steel crossties,
switch points, turntables, frogs and tie
plates. The duties which are tempo
rarily removed by this decree amounted
to three cents per kilo, gross weight, or
6S cents hundred pounds. The par
ticular purpose of the decree is that
materials for rehabilitating the rail-
roads o Mexico may be purchased and
brought to this country at the lowest
possible cost. Although considerable
quantities of steel rails and other sup
plies are being manufactured by the
Monterey Iron and Steel Company, the
capacity of this plant is said to be in
adequate to the demand for such ma
terials at the present time.

BlOVcS. her own factories are closed.
so she is compelled to import what she
wants. And, by the way, general con-
ditions of living in Brussels seem bet
ter than in Paris. If one has the
money he can procure butter and sugar
IN Brussels, put in Paris both are
largely minus quantities, no matter
how much money one is willing to pay.
Europeans Wearing
High-Crade Glores
"Some Brussels retailers have paid
as high as $25 a dozen for French real
kid gloves. Others have ordered from
the French manufacturers and left tho
price open. London and Paris are also
wearing high-priced gloves. Dealers in
those cities willingly pay from 100 to
120 francs a dozen, the price varying
with the quality. Consequently, Tor
cign manufacturers show no evidences
of weakening on these prices. Why
should they, when they can sell all they
can procure the leather to make? Their
production is only about SO per cent of
pre-war normality, which gives great
force to the working of the law of sup
ply and demand. 1t is true they cannot
sell their entire output for European
consumption, but they can sell so much
more there than they ever did before
that with the curtailed production to
aid them they feel they can hold the
trade in the United States to the high
prices prevailing in other countries.
Why, even Sweden is buying gloves in
France
Europe is spending more money on
high priced articles than we have
thought, and when we take into consid
Grafton the limited supply of high
grade gloves we find that we will have
to pay the price asked for what we get.
1t is as much a sellers market as it has
been for three years, so far as the
European glove industry is concerned.
And here let me tell you what may
seem a strange thing. In MANY in
stances first quality lambskin gloves
are proportionately higher than real
kid gloves of a like grade. They are
