V VUICANl lZlNG AND TIRE SHUT Every one knows what immense proportions the tire business has assumed and what large profits are to be made in the repairing and selling of auto tires and tubes. I have intended to sell half interest in my place for some weeks, as I need some one to help me manage it as it grows bigger every day. But now I have been offered a proposition in Los Angeles and am desirous of leaving ss soon as I can wind up my affairs here. Therefore, I offer my vulcanizing and tire shop at No. B s. 20th st. for sale, and am ready to vacate just as soon as the first buyer who means business and wants to reap large profits at once comes in. The place inventories at $5,26S.17 and rent is only ssO per month, which places a very high value on the lease alone at this rental. Can make very attractive figure to any one who means business. and every ono who is thinking of going into business for themselves is cordially invited to drop in and I will explain anything they wish to know.

LEAIHER-RefaiIers Seeking
Information IN Primary Market

Retailers of shoes, bags and othsr
articles of leather are deferring pur-
chases of new merchandise until they
learn more OF actual conditions in the
primary hide and leather markets. The
drop in silks, which came as surprise
to many retailers who had been led u
believe that there was a shortage Of
the raw product and an underprodu,-
ton of finished goods when the reverse
was true, has led many retailers to be
lieve that similar conditions possibly
exist in the leather and allied fields
One Of the leading department store
heads is now conducting a quiet in
vestgation in the leather market EIs
is attacking the problem through trs
insurance end, which gave the first IN
dication OF the break in silks. He q
accommodating statistics on the amount
of hides and leather on which insur-
ance has been issued, and if the figures
appear abnormally large he feels conf
dent that break in the market VIII
result
Retail shoe merchants a. class are
now watching the hide and leather mar
kets closely, and are not depending
upon the manufacturers OF shoes for
information concerning the supply OF
raw materials

Still Holding Off

The "hysterical wave of price-cut-
ting as most Of the cotton goods
sellers prefer to call the current move
ment IN retail circles, has made but
little impression on millmen and whole
salers. They admit that it has led
SOME Of the smaller retailers to decide
definitely to hold off a bit longer in
stocking up with new merchandise, but
as most Of the mills are behind in the
delivery OF orders on hand and are
hooked with orders sufficient to keep
their machinery moving for months to
come, they are sitting back and waiting
TOR the retailer to change his opinion
about buying.
The interior jobbers, who supply
many Of the smaller retailers through
out the country, are expected back in
the market IN few weeks, and large
mill agents are predicting a hardening
OF prices about that time Concessions
are being made at present by those who
are financially unable to hold on to
their goods In view of the credit
strlngency, even large houses are con-
cerned over the prospect of financing
themselves through the months 20
come. 1t IS certain, according to state
ments of trade leaders, that new bust
ness Will be booked in cautious man
ner and that orders will be taken for
delivery only a few months forward.
For the safety Of all concerned it is
expected business will be contracted

the tact that Southern Railway pre-

good earning power since organization

Inability of European producers Of

SHkS-Better Tone
in Goods lWnrket

Greater confidence in present and
future prices is apparent in all
branches of the silk industry. but &C
tuaI buying has not been resumed on
large scale. Raw silk is showing
greater stability and prices of finished
goods have come to a more general
level throughout the trade The cut
price sales being staged by leading job
bers is moving large quantities Of
goods out of the market and is there
by decreasing the chances Of another
violent break, large producers assert.
manufacturers, for the most part, are
determined 70 prevent an overproduc-
ton at present, and accordingly are
not making many goods in excess Of
those called for by the orders in hand
1t is felt, because OF the large num-
Der Of cancellations for silk coming
from the garment manufacturing trade,
that the outlook for new silk in thar
direction viii be limited for some time
to come. More buyers for retail stores
