End Attributed in Part to Phase
of Sleeping Sickness

Bond Thomas. hfty-six. manager Of
the Bedeli Company, of this city, died
yesterday at his home. S26 Third Place.
P.ainfield, n. J. He suffered for three

Leather.

Last week witnessed a decided
change in the tone of the domestic
and foreign hide markets, which have
turned from state Of depression to
one Of conspicuous buoyancy. With
the broadening demand for upper
leather that has lately de,eloped light
weight native hides showed tx, great
est strength, but price advances ex-
tended to all varieties, and there were
reports of speculative purchasing by
dealers.
The skin market arso was firm dur
ing the week. Prices. despite the di-
minished activity, we're strong, city
skins closing at $40 TO $1,000 for nine
to twelve pounds, s. 10 $3.50 for seven
to nine pounds and $3.50 to $725 for
five TO seven pounds. The supply Of
calf skins in the local market was far
from plentiful. and buyers were in the
majority over sellers, Deer and elk
skins were in fair demand at steady
prices. Some imports of these skins
were reported during the week, but
the demand exceeded the shipments,
and the week closed with few good
skins available.
The feature of the selling last week
was the large amounts of low grade
upper leather purchased by shoe re-
pair men. Owing to the high costs Of
first grade material, shoemaAers pre-
fer to buy the lower grades rather
than increase the price OF repair work.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-26
Apparel

Inc buying representatives Of retail
ers OF women's garments in all sections
OF the country were plentiful in the
wholesale markets last week. but thev
pursued a conservative policy in plac
ing orders for spring stocks. The
manufacturers are making fewer "scar-
city" arguments to induce the BUYERS
to load up early. and il is unlikely that
such arguments would have any effect.
Ihe ready-to-wear business was not
particularly prosperous, from a retail
standpoint, last fall, and is in a slump
at present, because Of high prices or
Tor other reasons Retailers are max
ing declarations that business has
fallen off because of the high prices.
and are laying IN their stocks of spring
goods with the expectation of still fur
ther reductions in the number of gar
ments they can sell their customers.
AT present dresses appear TO be in
greater demand than most of the other
articles of women's wear. Waists arc
not particularly active and coats and
suits are moving slowly. Sport skirts
are fairly active, but the retailers are
not buying their heads Off even on
these.
Activity IN mems clothing was slight
last week. Some cancellations of spring
garments continue TO come IN from the
retailers. but manufac cturers are not
worried about these so far. Palm
Beach, tropical worsted and other real
summer clothing has been ordered by
the retailers in good quantities and de-
hverles will begin soon

Business Volume

Seventh Reserve District Re.
ports Trade in Peculiar
Pocket, Due to Price Pro-
tests and ScantProduction

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-The general
volume of business in the Middle West
continues at g high level and building
operations and other activities will be
sufflclent to sustain the movement for
the immediate future, according to q
report of business conditions in the
Seventh Federal Reserve District made
public tonight. The report states.
however, that despite this general show
OF prosperity business is in "a peculiar
pocket"
"On one side" it says, "there are
forays against high prices, society
women engineering film propaganda
and quasi-boycotts against this or that
commodity at the prevailing price. or
else pledging themselves to refrain
from buying until concessions are
made. On the other side. there is the
OBSTINATE fact that demand for com
modltles but1uns any possibility of pro-
vldlne supply; that production is low
In volume because labor is inefficient
and because raw materials are avail
able in quantities much below neces-
sary requirements. These factors, com
bined with a car shortage, motive
power famine, inadequate transporta-
tion facilities and strike rumors, con
stitute total of risky elements. against
which he average business man breads
to pit is capital"
Growing all of the difficulties, says
the report, is the foreign exchange
situation, which is declared to be the
most unfavorable in its bearings Oh
Ame rican business hopes.
Agricultural conditions in all parts
of the 7th Federal Reserve District
were reported to be favorable. while
industrial conditions over the dis
trct reflect counter currents at work
These include uncertainty caused by
threats Of strikes, inadequate produc-
tion of coal, iron and basic materials
and "tickleness and consequent ineffi-
cheney of labor
Coal is declared to be scarce, steel
almost impossible to obtain, structural
trades running at one half normal
speed, brick extremely scarce and at q
prohibitive price, cotton and wool of
the better grades scarce and leather
stocks scant.
The loan item in the mid Western
banks continues to reflect the rather
liberal use of credit in all lines OF
endeavor. Municipal extravaganza con
tinues to be complained of. Individual
banks continue to show substantial
growth in individual deposits, as COM
pared with month ago and year ago
