Activity in Hide Markets.

Recent activity in the hide trade
has been followed by further opera

of prices has increased. At ad-

are the neglected and weak end of
the market, and country hides, al
though in fair demand, do not move
with the same degree of freedom
as packer kill. A steady business is
noted in most varieties of leather,
with additional export buying, and
heavyweight sole leather contin-
ues very scarce and firm. On the
whole, however. conditions are less
active, and price irregularity con-
tinues in upper stock. In the West

Conditions in Textiles.

With seasonal influences becom-
ing operative. dry goods markets
reflect increased irregularity. AS
advance holiday requirements de-
velop, the tendency in retail cir
Giles is toward enlargement of bust
ness; but the lull usual at this pc
riod prevails in primary channels.
In the latter quarter. changes in
the character of buying are wit
messed, and there is evidence of a
disposition among merchants to
complete the year with light stocks
and moderate commitments. While
the progress of textile readjustment
has been retarded by low prices on
various farm products, yet jobbers
have moved a large volume of cot
ton goods this year because of their
relative cheapness. Despite recov-
cry in the price of raw material.
following the late decline, several
lines of fabrics have ruled easier
in recent trading, and some inter
ests anticipate further yielding.
The wool markets are strengthen
ing steadily. but high prices for
clothing have affected distribution,
and the strike of garment workers
is also a factor in limiting demand.

EXPORT CREDIT

And Is on Rebound.

II present credit conditions are
any Indication, the export business
has hit its low spot and is on a
slow rebound. Although the volume
of American trade with the other
countries has not shown any ma

despite a continued lull in the ex-
portation of many types of manu-
gradual but a marked increase in
the number of orders coming in
from foreign customers and the
commission houses. Firms that
have been out of the market for
months have been forced by de-
pleted stocks to place acquisitions
which must undoubtedly tend to
hasten the return of normally.
Such is the analysis OF foreign
trade made by l.. r. Browne. for
mer chairman of the foreign credit
executive committee of the National
Association of Credit Men and
credit manager of the International
Western Electric Company Mr.
Browne finds that with the ex-
ception of the Far East. where the
depreciation of silver has been an
impeachment, and in a few countries
of South America, everywhere the
buyers are showing more faith in
the future.
Mexico, in particular, has staged
a buying comeback" Mr.. Browne
said. Our neighbor to the south
is in the field for almost every type
of supply and even has shown an
interest in the textile market where
purchases have been of the hand
to mouth type for some time. The
same promising conditions are
noticeable in Columbia and Peru.
While the demand as yet is a
modest one compared to the pre-
slump period, history will prove
that 1t Is the very stuff from which
all great buying movements start.
The exchange situation is not
the bugaboo of six months ago.
Some of the South American coun-
tries have used the cotton boom to
relieve their financial trouble. Thew
deem it eXpedient to swallow the
dinerences in rates now existant
under the impression that by the
time deliveries are completed on
their new orders. the money market
Will have displayed a still better
tendency in their favor.
Mr.. Browne expects an increa Sc
in trade with the Far East before
long. He pointed to the fact that
recently silver bullion has Increased
in value more than twelve cents an
ounce.

Roads
I think that the people of the State
of Maine take a very active interest in
the road situation. and if there is a
problem in the State it is the road
problem. We have in Maine $500
miles of road; we have 29G of all the
roads in New England and 1909 of the
population. How are we going to
build our roads, and how are we going
to maintain those that we have al
ready built? Not so very long ago the
Governor and Council approved an or
der for the construction of 81 miles of
road that called for an appropriation
of 100000. Twenty-Five miles out
of that total called for $3.50. 600; 10
miles of that road called for $4,000.
The actual cost is to be somewhat less
than this, owing to reduction of prices
Of labor and material. Where is the
money coming from? We want the
roads, we cannot do business in the
state without roads but we must sit
down and take counsel together and
see what we are going to dosn the
future. There is constitutional
amendment which is to be submitted
to YOU and it is very important
question. IT is one on which Won NAV
well differ personally. have not
made up my mind which is wiser.
whether or not we shall take the State
bond money for the first class or see

question for referendum; it is a
question of policy which the peopIe of
the State must decide for themselves
Al the last session Of the Lepisla-
ture we passed a fuIl-time highway
commission law. The LcgjsIature felt
that the work of the Highway De-
partment was important enough to

While we can better our eco

Our problem is not merely to ex-

in establishing the industries OF
other countries so that those coun-

Following the recent announce

through the elimination OF waste
by the abrogation of the national
agreements, although how much
may be saved this way Is very
problematlcal. But even that very
substantial economy will not be
sufficient to enable the roads to
earn a net return of 5h or 6 per
cent upon the valuation placed on
the properties by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, as con
templated In the Esch-C ummins
Law, on the present volume of
traffic. Certainly, it will not justify
horizontal rate reduction now.
The problem is to bring about a
rate readjustment by which lower
rates will be provided for commodi-
ties that cannot be handled at the
present rate levels. and not to
effect hOr Zontal rate reduction
