increase of 1896. new millionaires
during the war preiod."
There are at present 100000
hides stored in a ware house al
Pueblo, where they have been kept
for more than a year, and still the
shoe manufacturers are claiming a
shortage of leather. The offers OF
two merchants from Venezuela to
sell a large supply of hides in this
country was turned down.
