Rise in Bookings
For Shoe Industry
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 24-The
substantial gain in shoe production
during the first five months of the
current year gave promise that the
total for 1884 would approach closely
that of 1929, when 361 ,407 900 pairs
were manufactured and represented
the peak since 1928. When it was
found, however, that cattle slaughter
ing for the first half of 1884 reached
the largest on record, with the excep-
ton of 1918, hide and leather markets
were demoralized, the price structure
weakened and retailers withheld orders
until some degree of stability could be
attained. AS result operations have
receded from capacity levels during
the first quarter to around so to 10
per cent of normal, with some factories
running only part time, according to
Dun g. Bradstreet, Inc.
The wide fluctuations of hide prices
since June enabled many manufactur-
ers to gain a price advantage by
accumulating material when the lowest
points were touched, so that net
earnings are slightly higher than last
year. when profits averaged 8 to 10
per cent of the total invested capital
With operations now lower than dur
ing the Spring months, however, and
no reduction of production costs in
prospect. most of the leading pro-
ducers have revised downward their
earlier estimates of profits for 1884.
In spite of the disappointment over
the results of the Summer, the i'm
mediate future is being faced with
more confidence, due to the abandon
ment of plans for Government
operated factories for the manufacture
of shoes, gloves and leather jackets
for the needy. 1t has been decided to
carry on such work in established COM
mercial plants, on bids which will
permit a profit. and in communities
where such operations will prove of
the greatest aid to the local un-
employment situation.
