General apathy prevailed last week
in the leather market. Although trad
ing Was spasm odic. prices in several
instances were surprisingly firm. Tan
ncrics Of lower grade leather are run
ming near capacity, but there is a gen
cral curtailment Of production sat othc,
tannerlcs. Trading in hides continued
decidedly irregular. The dormant con
dition of the market was produced
largely by tho disparity between hold
crs' and buyers Iicvs Of values. Buy
ers arc seeking purchases st lower
prices and holders are adanlant against
making concessions to meet the lower
price level OF buyers.
Reiteration Of the pubic's insistcncc
for shoes at z price is conclusivcly H.
Illustrated in the heightened production
at tn" factories Of The large lower
grade shoe companies. The demand
for high grade womcn's shoes is broad
cning and there is an attendant in
crease in operations at the fine shoe
factories.

4 fairly finished picture Of economic
conditions as they are at present was
given by speakers at the National Re-
tail Dry Goods Associations conrcn-
tion here last week. Slow but steady
upward progress was predicted. The
center of interest was the discussion
directed toward the reduction OF the
cost Of distribution. which has long
been held as an impairment to expand
ing business. Retailers seemed less
interested in wholesale prices than
they were Il year ago, but sentiment
was vigorously opposed to any upward
tendencies at present The tarin also
came in for liberal discussion and the
American valuation plan was rakcd
fore and ait The letter Of i. c. Du-
maine. Of the Amoskcag Manufacturing
Company, condemning the American
valuation plan. and read ut the conven-
ton. was hailed a signal victory by
inc retailers, rs Dumainc is one OF the
largest producers Of goods in tho
country
1t seems fairly well established that
the volume Of goods moving in trade
channels and into consumption is in
creasinc. but only in rare instances
arc profits showing any increase. In
industries where raw materials have
stiN'cncd perceptibly in tho last few
months. professors have been unable
to advance the price or finished goods
IN proportion. This has led to q re
he"ai OF efforts at cutting wages. but
apparently the new cuts arc not being
accepted as readily by workers as they
were last year

Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall. widow of
the murdered clergyman, had sent some
clothing to be cleaned and dyed. With

to the dye house where the goods we're
sent, but learned that there was no
record that they had been stained with
blood or otherwise.
This was the first time, SO far rs is
known, that one Of the county detec-
tivcs was sent out Of the jurisdiction
in which the crime occurred and the
victims lived.
To Transcribe Examinations
For the first time also the local
authorities called in court steno-
graphcr to help with the examination of
witnesses. For seventeen days the
prosecutors and" their detectives have
been questioning people who might have
known something about the crime or it's
principals without the aid Of full
memoranda. From now on every Ques-
ton and answer will be taken down in
shorthand, and carbon copies Of all
examinations given the State troopers.
The attempts Of the county authori-
ties to exhume the body of Mr.. Hall.
which is buried In Brooklyn ceme-
animation. have thus far proved as
much failure as other undertakings
in which they have engaged. Detective
Ferguson, who went to New York yes.
tcrday to get the permit, returned last
night disappointed and sore, without
the papers.
1t was not Ferguson's fault. however.
that nc did not get the permit. He
found so big bale of red tape had to
be cut before he could get the Supreme
Courts permission TO disinter the body
that he came home in disgust, prepared
to try II again today.
The prosecutors Office also moved
Yesterday. following n suggestion made
by newspapermen. to get the two wells
on the Phillips farm drained. in search
of the knife and automatic pistol used
in the murders. The prosecutors Office
got In touch with John Hart. Of South
River. who is the most widely known Of

do about clearing out the wells.
