Leather Trading Broadens

Trading in leather yesterday again
assumed broadening tendency. Elk

were involved, little shading Of prices
was rcsorted to. Shoe manufacturers
are beginning 10 anticipate their wants
more freely, although future ordering
on q large scale is not looked forward
to until more definite news on the prob

increasing inquiries are now shaping
themselves into small buying orders,

growing states are being received by
local raw wool dealers. The wool grow
ers of Indiana and Ohio are putting
according to these reports.
From New Hampshire comes the re-
port that wool growers in that state
are pooling their wool and having it
made into cloth, which is sold back to
the farmers through cooperative agen-
cies. This movement gained ground in
few of the Western wool-growing
regions several months ago and sue
ceeded, particularly where the wool
was made into blankets. The wool
growers of Illinois went so far as to
have the wool made into cloth and then
into suits of clothing as an experiment
but little has been heard of this in
the last few months.

Commercial Credit

Although wholesale collections con-
tinue fair. considering present condi-
tons, credit grantors for manufacture
ers and wholesalers here say that
money is coming in slowly from the re-
tailers, indicating that the financial
problems of this branch Of trade have
not been solved completely. A manu-
facturer Of a high grade product sold
in leading stores throughout the coun-
try yesterday said that his accounts
had been extremely slow this summer,
and many of his customers who hitherto
had always discounted their bills were
now taking full time, and in few
cases asking for extensions.
Commercial paper was only moderate-
ly active yesterday. Rates were un-
changed Prime paper continued to dis
count at per cent, and fractionally
higher rates were exacted for other
paper. Most of the buying, however,
is confined to prime paper

crop advices encouraged expectations
Of another reduction in the yield in

gradually improving trade demand, led
to some scattered buying on early de-
clines, but rallies met increased offer
lgs. The late market was lower with
