Leather.

Prices Of hides and finished leather,
although soft last week, showed no
precipitous decline The activity of
tanners was further reduced, and it
is estimated that the tanning industry
IS running about third of normal ca
Iaclty. Little or no Improvement in
the shoe situation was noted. Retail
ors continue their price cutting pro-
clvities, but report business below the
normal volume.
SO far thee has been little spring
business booked by manufacturers who
have been displaying samples. Small
orders for fall goods continue to reach
some manufacturers, but it appears
that retailers are depending more on
jobbers for immediate requirements.
The low shoe continues the leading
seller in women's footwear and re-
tailers are beginning to fear they will
not get their normal volume of high
shoes and hence are beginning to cut
prices on them. Heretofore prices on
women's high shoes have been fairly
firmly held.

 Finally Brought Relief ,. ,,
 Dover, N. H. "In 1906, I began to be troubled with Eczema. It started on my face and gradually spread. The second summer, I was so badly afflicted I had to lay off work. I would keep my hands tied up at night to prevent digging into my flesh while asleep. 1spent hundreds of dollars in seeking relief. I would go for several months without trouble and then the Eczema would break out again and would be in for siege of suffering. My hands, especially across the knuckles, would be so puffed and swollen I could not do any obstetrical work or operations.
 1t was about three months ago I chanced to read an ad. of Fruit a-tives' about person being cured of Weeping Eczema by using this remedy and 'Sootha Salva'. bought both and in about aweek, noticed an improvement. I have now used two boxes of 'Fruit-a-tives' and one of 'Sootha Salva' and am entirely free of Eczema. My flesh is clear and smooth and I am that gratifed with the result that cannot proclaim too loudly the merits of these remedies".
