The wide spread between the
prices of raw hides and shoes is
explained by Hide and Leather

SKIN prices arc too low,
THE trouble started with the
strike of the general buying public
last fall" says the statement
"Wholesale and retail shoe dealers
ordered conservatively as possible.
Shoe manufacturers, in turn. onlv
bought leather as actually needed:
tanners. therefore. sold little leather
and virtually withdrew from the
markets for raw materials. Rut
hides and skins, as by-products.
were produced right along and ac
cumulated. and. for lack of buyers
prices declined tremendously.
"The hide and skin markets are
artificially low to-day, and anything
like normal demand for shoes and
other leather merchandise would
stimulate tanners to replenish sup
plies of hides and skins, with con-
sequent upward reaction in values"

BUYERS Now in Market Want

Another small wave of buyers, rep
'esenting retail stores in various
parts Of the country. has rolled in
upon the local wholesale markets. The
buyers are looking for spot merchan-
disc, principally wearing apparel and
textiles, which can be bought at sacri-
ice prices.
Some of the retailers who are mer-
-ehandising in this method are using
arge display advertising to attract
the buyers. Results are said to
vary considerably. in the main the
'uyers report that yard goods seem

Jewelry Prices Cut by
Several Manufacturers

Reductions ranging from 10 to 20
per cent on the price Of jewclry have

manufacturers said, are a reflection of

improvements made which have less

Leather Situation Better

Leading leather men yesterday cx-
pressed the opinion that the liquidation
of stocks has progressed to such an ex-
tent that future buyers undoubtedly
will be bidding on rising scale of
prices and that, except in few brands,
shading of prices soon will be obso-
lete. In the leather market regularity
IN trading in calf, kip and chrome
sides persists. Although the volume of
sole leather traded in is considerably
below normal, activity is slowly in
creasing and more inquiries are being
made. A better demand for both nov
elites and staples also is reported.
