HIDES HOLDING UP
Dealers Look for . Break in
Market Before Long.
FORMER PRICES CURRENT
In the East Country Hides Are
Weaker in Tendency, but Packer
Stock Is Strong Tanners
Threaten to Close Down.
The local hide market holds fn a steady
way and buyers are still paying last
week's prices, quoting; IS cents as the out
side figure on the best salted 'offerings.
Most of them are of the opinion that prices
will have to give way sooner or later, but
there Is no definite Idea aj to when the
break will come. In the meantime the
supply reaching the market Is limited and
this keeps the market In a firm position.
Mall advices received from the East yes
terday by local- dealers reported a fair
amount of business passing there, ' but
there was an easier tendency In country
bides, a offerings were free. These ad
vices were supplemented by wires noting a
quarter cent decline during the day. Packer
hides were the strong feature of the mar
ket. Chicago trade report dated Sep
tember 38 said:
The strength In the hide market con
tinues pronounced. Prices have become
aomewhat erratic and there are reports of
unusual Jumps, especially in dry-hide values
and In certain varieties of packer hides. In
some quarters the extreme statements are
questioned. One car of August native
steers was reported sold In the Chicago
packer market this week at 20 cents and
there were reports current of 6000 hides
being moved at this figure. Offers of
dative steer hides ahead at the former es
tablished price of 19 H cents have., been
made.
"Sales in the packer market have been
moderate and some tanners are now talk
Ins; of closing their tanneries or materially
curtailing production, rather than pay the
present high values for raw hldesr Such
sales as have been made of branded hides
have been at full rates. Including heavy
Texas steers at 17 cents, branded cows
at 17 cents, butt brands at 17 ft cents and
Colorados at 17 hi cents.
"Country hides have eassd off somewhat
from recent top rates, and a number of
sales have been made of Chicago, as well
as Ohio and Pennsylvania ' buffs at IShi
cents and extremes at IS cents.
"The chief excitement of late has been
In Latin -American dry hides, which ad
vanced on sales a further 4 cent, with
another cent Increase now being asked
for more. Bogota dry hides sold up to
27 cents with 28 H cents now asked and
bids of 28 cents for Orinoco and 27 cents
for Central Americans nave been declined.
Material advances are also being demanded
for all kinds of River Plate dry hides.'
WHEAT TRADE ' OF SMALL ' VOLUME
Farmers Slow Sellers at the Prices Now
Offered.
Transactions In the wheat market yes
terday were of very small volume. Dealers
were bidding 76 cents for club and 80
cents for bluestem. but there were but
few sellers. It Is estimated by some of
the grain men that the farmers to date
have sold half of the crop. Those who were
disposed to let go got out early when the
market was good, while those who held
for higher prices are not willing to sell
now, when values have declined.
The oats and barley market were rather
quiet at the prices that have prevailed
for the past week.
Local receipts, In cars, were reported by
the Merchants' Exchange as follows:
Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay.

0 SALE REPORTED IX HOP MARKET
la Aurora Section 174 Cents Is Bid for Fair
Primes.
No further hop sales in the Dallas sec
tion were reported yesterday. In the Au
rora district 173 cents was bid for fair
primes.
California reports told of a quiet market
there.
Imports of hops Into Great Britain, less
exports for the year ended August 31, 1912,
were 84,286 cwts., as against 178.158 cwts.
for the previous year, and 112.103 cwts two
years ago. The 1911 English crop of 328.023
plus Importations for the year of 84,286
cwts. deducted, from the annual require
ments figured at 600.000 cwts., shows a
deficiency of 187.691 cwta., evidently taken
from reserves of previous years.
CALIFORNIA GRAPES GOOD SELLERS
Receipts of Local Concords Are Lighter
Peach Traee DulL
Grapes were the most active feature of the
fruit marker y&TeYday. Two cars of To
kays were received from California and
sold well at SI a crate. Receipts of local
Concords were moderate, but retailers were
still well supplied.
The peach market is dull and no Im
provement Is looked for. Apples continue
slow and lltte Interest in the market Is
expected until Summer fruits are out of
the way.
Cauliflower Is the weakest Item In the
vegetable list, as the market Is badly over
stocked. Celery is also too plentiful. A car
of sweet potatoes was received during the
day.
BREAK IN THE POULTRY MARKET
Hens and Springs Sell at the Lowest Prices
of the Settaon.
The poultry market broke badly yester
day. Hens and springs were offered at 12
and 12 H cents and did not clean up even
at the lower figure. Oiher kinds were In
lighter supply and wen steadier.
Heavy receipts of voc-1 caused weakness
In that line, while dressed pork was easi
er in sympathy with the decline at the
yards.
Eggs were scarce and firm at the old
price.
Butter was closely cleaned up and firm.
Cheese was also firm.
