ut k estimated that production OF
shoes totaled about 1877, SOC, 900 pairs
during the first six months Of 1885,"
states the report. This Is q slight
decrease from 17S, 10000 pairs pro-
duced during the same period Of 1885.
June output amounted to some 26,-
o00, 900 pairs, an lit per cent drop
from 29.427,000 pairs manufactured
In May, and q per cent decline from
the 1924, 900 pairs produced in June.
1895. May output also declined below
the level Of the previous month.
Recent declines in production were
not surprising, since retailers acquired
large stocks In late 1885 and early 1895.
Nevertheless, the keener competition
for the available business prevented
manufacturers from marking up prices
enough to compensate fully for higher
costs. Hence. in some cases profits Of
shoe manufacturing concerns in the
first half Of 1896 declined slightly from
those recorded In the corresponding

drought has caused hide quotations to
weaken in anticipation Of increased
supplies forecast by the Governments
drought slaughtering program. Fewer
cattle will be slaughtered than during
the more serious 1884 drought. Never.
thelesss hide supplies may increase
sufficiently to force prices further
downward.
According to a new report on the
shoe and leather industry, appearing
in Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys, profits Of integrated shoe
companies. with their larger invento-
ries, would tend to be restricted some
what If prices Of hides are reduced,
while the smaller units obtaining sup
plies from Independent companies
would not be affected greatly. Lower
hide prices are expected to reduce the
near-term earnings Of tanners due to
inventory depreciation.
