Germans to Buy Leather
Great Scarcity of Raw Material.
in EuroDe

Local dealers in finished uppers for
shoes are expecting German buyers
to arrive within the next two weeks
to purchase large quantities Of goods
to stock tho barren leather markets
Of Central Europe. The Germans, it
is said, cannot purchase raw hides as
they were accustomed to do prior to
1914 because the tanneries of Ger
many are not working. Many Of them
were converted into war plants and
the remainder, when the supply of raw
material was cut OFF by the British
blockade, abandoned the tanning bust
ness for other undertakings. Reports
from Berlin indicate that Germany has
only enough light upper feathers to
equip one-seventh of her shoe-wearing
population of 100000 persons.
There exists a great scarcity of raw
stock for uppers, with an attendant
large demand from Europe for top
grade leather despite the import re-
strictions imposed by England and
France. Dealers anticipate an increas-
ing volume of business, with high
prices, for the next eighteen months.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Thursday reached the lowest level

pound has been quoted In dollars and
cents. Before the precipitate decline

low as s4.26N.
international bankers, who are
familiar with the credit relations be-
tween nations, were inclined to look
upon the recovery as temporary, not
feeling assured that the decline had
run it's full course. However, fnan-
ciers seemed to agree late in the week
that the decline had been too rand
and that the temporary recovery was
to be expected. Short covering helped
greatly to bolster up rates. By the
close Of the market Oh Friday sterling
cables brought $4.43. In a day the
discount on the pound was reduced
from IL to 9 Der cent.

fell off and business men interested in
