Hide Markets Less Active.

The local hide market has moderated
somewhat in the last few days. Buyers
seem to have temporarily withdrawn
from the market and are taking only a
passing interest in proceedings n 4,
their opinion that prices are too high
and must recede. Holders are decid.
cdly firm in their prices ana believe
that there Is moro probability OF a
further rise than a recession in view
of the fact that stocks OF desirable de-
scriptions and grades are small. Traders
In the River Plate market are also ex-
reriencing period of dullness. Few
substantial sales have been renor.ea
although American buyers are said 10

Improved Demand for Gloves.

There has been a noticeable improve

the last month. Buyers for retail stores
are in the market and are placing orders

sons requirements. Several orders CALI

received by n leading manufacturer. In

Worsted Yarn Market DuII.

The worried yarn trade continues
ianguid. There Is some business being
done. with the knitting trade doing the
buying. Manufacturers are in sansuine
expectation of an improved demand
within the next month. Stocks In the
hands OF yarn consuming industries are
considered small and the fact that tire
interests have been buying only SPAR
inely In the last several months has
encouraged and strengthened the belief
In the yarn trade that with a con-
tinuance OF the steady Improvement In
the knitting and other yarn buying
trades a healthy demand for yarns will
soon develop. Prices have shown little
change In the last few months. Despite
the fact that values are below replace
ment costs. manufacturers are finding
II difficult TO get present prices from
buyers. Buyers must become recon.
ciled TO prevailing prices before sub
stantial Improvement can be looked
for a prominent yarn manufacturer
declared.

Fewer Garment Orders.
. AS@v~ @SM

The cloak and suit manufacturing
trade is not az active as II was several
weeks ago. Retailers seem to have
dropped out OF the market for the time
being. having placed enough orders TO
cover their requirements for short
time. They are expected to reenter the
market around the middle OF the month
and place some substantial orders for
the fall season. Retailers Will not stock
up merchandise until they learn just
what the consumer demand for garments
iR. In this way they are avoiding the
carrying OF unnecessary and dead
merchandise. With retailers on the alert
for low priced but good garments there
is keen competition among manufacture
ers and also jobbers. There Is some
pairing down OF profits to induce buying.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Finished Cotton Goods Trade
Continues to Lag-Leather
Lines Improve.

There is little Improvement in the fin-
ished cotton goods trade. The spring
wash goods business done to date has
eeen comparatively small. although sales
OF fancies and novelties have been of
fair volume. Several mills, 1t Is said,
have received enough orders to insure
full occupation for the remainder of the
year. but this is not the rule, however.
On the other hand, ainghams have yet TO
be priced for spring and a great many
advance orders are to be placed on
printed wash fabrics of the more staple
classes. Percales are also selling in
small lots. The two labor disputes Gre
ated some uneasiness among jobbers and
retailers. many of whom are postponing
the ordering of merchandise required in
the next few months. Western jobbers
and retailers appear more confident in
view of the excellent harvest prospects,
although they are hanging back. still
uncertain as to how the consumer will
meet higher priced goods.

Business In the leather trade continues
on the up grade. according to a promi-
nent tanner. There has been a slight de-
cline In demand for certain descriptions
of leather, but this recession has been
counterbalanced by increasing activities
in other classes. Shoe statesmen have
been meeting with fair success on the
road and manufacturers are busy filling
orders. They continue to buy from hand

are coming In more frequently. Shoe
