Observation-Disclosures
Checks Buying of Hides

Despite the unsettled condition Of the
hide and skin market yesterday, due to
the absence Of buying, prices asked by
big dealers remained firm. In some
quarters a tendency to shade prices was
evident, but this condition was not ren-
eral. The slack In buying during the
past few days was attributed to the in
vestigations into shoe profteering, which
took place in Boston. Tanners have
adopted waiting attitude until condi-
tions become more settled. Dealers in
hides and skins are optimistic. They
expect prices to hold up, since the guam
tity of skins available Is comparatively
small when matched with the demands
coming from the tanneries, prior to the
Boston investigation. 1t is known, deal
ers declared, that the tanneries have not
a sufficient amount Of good skins on
hand to delay purchases for a consid-
cradle time, and buying on very lively
scale is expected shortly.
Several inquiries for leather have been
received from German and Austrian
houses. While there are only few
German buyers in the market at present,
a number are expected before long, as
the Central European countries are
known to be extremely ehort of leather.
Inquiries, received from German and
Austrian firms were all for large guam
titles of leather goods.

Upward of $4,5OO,OOO

Construction work has started on the
Ritz-Carlton Hotel, in Atlantic City,
which is part of the series of improve

blocks in Chelsea and which will repre-
sent an investment of approximately
$20, 100000.

JEWELRY-lmportations Of
Je,ueEs and Settings Light

Importers of precious stones and
jewelry are not doing large business
at present in this market, owing to the
difficulty they are having in procuring
goods abroad. Stocks on hand, it is
reported, are extremely low, and the
hope Of large receipts In the near fu-
ture has been abandoned. The demand
for foreign jewelry is strong, dealers
stating they can readily dispose Of all
stocks they have on their shelves.
Importers ascribe the delay in filling
orders for jewelry abroad to the gen.
eral economic unsettlement in Europe
They state the strikes in all trades, in
cluding the jewelry industry, have been
recurring with greater frequency in
foreign markets than in this country
In addition, serious shortage of coal
has forced many factories to shut their
doors two Or three days week.
Because of these conditions, Euro
pean manufacturers, 1t is said, have re-
fused price lists, and accept orders
subject to market price at the time of
delivery. Prices for imported jewelry
dealers state, fluctuate from day to
day, after the manner Of prices on the
Stock Exchange. For this reason local
buyers are cautious about purchases
and in some instances prefer to carry
lines Of domestic jewelry rather than
buy foreign goods.

Realty Of Mrs. Russell Sage
Will Be Sold on Tuesday
Proceeds From Sale of Extensive Holdings Accumu.
lated by Financier Will Be Given to Education

Realty accumulated by the late Rus
sell Sage, one of the most interesting
figures in American finance, will be
disposed OF on Tuesday at public auc-
tion and for q most laudable cacse-
advancement Of education and charity.
1t was the will Of Mrs. Sage that the
real estate left to her by her husband
be disposed Of, so that some thirty
odd institutions Of learning and charity
might better do the work they were
performing.
Joseph P. Day, as has been announced
by executors Of the Sage estate, will
sell the properties in the Vesey Street
Auction Room for Whatever price they
may bring.
Mrs. Sage Has Given Much
Mrs. Sage inherited the greater part
of the fortune left by her husband at
his death in 1906. Several years prior
to her death, on November 4, 1919, it
was estimated that the benefactions of
the late Mrs. Sage to educational and
charitable institutions, since 1907, had
amounted to more than 100000, 900, in
addition to a fund Of $10,000,000 for
the establishment of the Sage Founda-
tion for social betterment in the United
States. In 1919 she purchased Marsh
Island, in the Gulf Of Mexico, to be
used as home for wild birds. Her
residuary estate, which now is to be
divided among thirty-six institutions,
is estimated to be worth more than
$40,000,000. 1t Is to be divided into
New-York tribune., 1920-01-18

ffty-two shares, Of which the Sage
Foundation will receive seven.
Mrs. Sage. who occupies 9 high posi-
tion in the long list Of American
philanthropists, was born at Syracuse.
N. T.. in 1928. She was graduated from
tho Troy Seminary in 1847. and was
married to Russell Sage in 1889.
Russell Sage Knew Realty
Mr.. Sage, although known - Z Hnan-
cier, was almost as good Judge Of real
estate as OF railroads. Those who viii
bid, next Tuesday, for the many valu-
able properties included in the estate
of the late Mrs. Sage will have the
benefit of his judgment.
That his judgment was good is evi-
denced by the fact that the sales list
includes three Fifth Avenue properties.
q valuable Madison Avenue corner near
Fifty-ninth Street, several Park and
Lexington Avenue corners and inside
holdings, one Of the best remaining
vacant blocks in Riverside Dsive. two
elevator apartment houses at . corner
in Central Park West, and q number Of
East and West Side tenements aud
dwellings, together with Q residence
and valuable plottagc in and near Cen
trail Avenue, Far Rockaway.
SO varied as to character. location
and value are the properties Of the
Sage estate it is foregone conclusion
that one of the most representative
gatherings Of investors and SPECTATORS
that ever attended an auction in the
Vesey Street room will be on hand
Tuesday.
