War Drew Heavily on This Court try's Supply oHides -Prices - - Up In Consequence. "Few people, even those who are In terested In the various branches of th leather . Industries." said ' a promlpent dealer and manufacturer to a Journal reporter, "realise the peculiar conditions that exist In the leather market at pres ent and th great scarcity of leather of all kinds, and th enormous advance that has taken place In th price during' th last year. This has been brought about by a combination of circumstances UsUUohA.no one could control. On of th niain features in this matter has been th Japanese-Russian war. Ever since the, war began In fact, ' for several months before It commenced Japan has drown- heavily on this country for Its supply of harneaa and shoe leather In crder . to maintain and equip a large army. That has caused a shortage of leather for bom consumption. "Th United States Is usualy a large Oallghtfnl Weather Most of the Tim a last wl'nT.'r'-wIrr Z.?t V ffi, , Mu. I 111.

This, of, course, has caused a great shortage in leather lit this country. The export ing of manufactured leather goods has also, greatly Increased during th past few years, and especially during th past year. Th demand for leather at th present time is greatly In excess of th supply, which is causing much higher prices for all kinds of this class of merchandise. Particularly. Is this th case In harness and saddle leather, thereby causing sharp advances to be mad by leather manufacturers and manufacturers of harness and saddles. These advances will average from 12 Vi to 20 per cent, and In some Instances as much as S3 1-1 per cent. While it is generally understood that th large packers - of this country control th leather market, at th sam time th packers claim, and very truly, too, that there Is a great shortage of hides, and they have advanced the prices to such a point that the hid of a large, heavy steer will bring from 110 to 113. while the hid of an ordinary milch cow sells at from It to 17. "A comparison of the coat of leather between now and lttt-94 follows: Oak saddle or . skirting leather, 1S9S-I4, t cents per pound; the same leather today costs 44 cents per pound. B harness leather cost In 1193-94 20 centa per pound; today It cannot be bought for leas thsn ( cents per pound. Collar leather In 159J-94 coat t and 7 cents per foot; today It Is worth II to 20 centa per foot. Sol leather and all other leather have doubled In prlc In "the same time. Hides were worth in 1891-94 from S to cents per pound; today tbey ar worth from It to IS centa. pel 0oond. 1 ' .' y . "These advances, which have been gradually taking place for th past few years, are .now beginning to be very much felt by th .retail dealers and con sumers, and they will more than ever appreciate th effects of thee advances this fall when they begin to place their usual . fall orders. '. - "For instance, a ser of harness that has formerly sold to the consumer at (IT.SO will now hav to b sold at $21.10. A riding saddle that has sold at f 20 will be advanced to 123. Even, lace leather, cut lacing, wagon lines." ham strings, and other small articles lit the leather good tin have advanced from 20 to 40 per cent. Furthermore. It looks like t this advance' has not only come to stay, but everything Indicate sUU higher price, as th scarcity of hides and leather Is becoming dally more felt, and the exporting of these commodities Is continuing to increase, notwithstand ing tn advanced prices. , , .;. , , . , WITH EDUCATION DEMAND WILL GREATLY INCREASE Chinese Nave Not , Yet Learned to Make Good Flour, But Manchuria May jBecome a Formidable Com petitor of America. 'Chinese us American flour almost exclusively for making noodles." re marked J. H. Brown today when re ferring to the possibilities of this trade with thai orient. "I lived In China a long time and. found scarcely any of the natives using our riour tor oreaa. A few In the eervlce of foreigners may do so, Ibut this Is rsre. In th remote Interior they do not know what Ameri can flour la. Such Imports reach the treatr norta and ar thence distributed over a limited area adjacent, but the demand for flour with the ceieatlais ia almoat exclusively for noodles." , This statement Introduced the sub ject of American flour exports to ths orient, the possiDllity 01 aeveioping.me traffto, prospect ,f th Chinee ulti mately manufacturing 'their own flour and conditions of th trade In general. Mr. Brown Is an ardenrbellevr In the future commerce of this country with the orient when It la properly fostered. His estimate thai within 26 years China will be thrown open, liktn and octoroy taxes abolished and . the vast empire made accessible to foreign com merce. Is based apon rapid changes ob served within th last, few years. , , .. . Chinese Progressing. , . Ha found the Chinese adapting them selves to the Inevitable with good grace and ' leading ' men quickly Inclining toward acceptance of foreign improve ments. Railroads have been th nter Ing wedge, treaty ports are converting the frlng4 of coast inhabitants, snd the interior, which Is yet dark to occidental Influence, Is preparing for better things. "If we foster trade with China we ahould do a 33.000,000,000 business there in time, ' continued th ' former rest- dant of the orient1 "Our- flour trade will grow to much greater proportions, but It Is too costly when laid down Is Asia to make bread for the masses. Flour is sold there by th bag largely and sometimes by the barrel. A pound ia allowed for the bag or sack, on the average there Is loss of about a pound through frequent handling In shipment and the cunning of the orientals enables them to remove enough more from th bag to make it weigh really only about 4t pounds when it goes -to the con sumer. Yet it Is sold as a S 0-pound bag. ' I have known of many order placed by , orientals for flour and with It would com the request for a num ber of extra sacks. Toes are used tor sacking the three or lour -pounas taken from each bag. The general re sult is that flour In the orient comes to about S cents (Mexican) a pound, which makes it above the reach 01 the masses and even above a multitude or tn middle classes. ' But despite these facta th demand for flour will grow for a long time. . ,.. . Ohlaa tcma OsJaportaatj. - . "Th mills of the orient have bean somewhst exaggerated by . recent re ports. There may be nine flour mills in Bhangnai, nut oiuy two 01 inem merit th name. These- are double mills, and have good capacity, but thai are not yet manufacturing good flour. During the Russian occupany or Man churia I think two mills, wer started there and they probably 'will . resume after peace takes effect. "Manchuria Is destined to Deoom a formidable competitor with America In the flour trade of the orient when th country is given proper protection and encouragement. Many thousand square miles or wneat lana is rouna in Man churia and some day I believe It wUI be sown regularly and made to produce a large part of the foodstuffs for -the orientals. Should this. occur America's opportunity for . trade -- will be even greater than now. Those people wtU need hundreds of mills and when thelf tastes Are developed will become con sumers of other things. Our lead in manufacturing will stand us In good need to keep ahead of the orientals, so that we may continue - exporting products and commodities which thelt expanding .requirements will lead them to buy. Tatar Zs Brlg-nV "Orientals do not make good flout now, but the tlm probably . will com when the high lands of th north will produce a grade of wheat that will compete with anything from elsewhere. Manchuria, and - Siberia beyond, have great stretches or arable land, where at least a good' percentage will be favored by perfect climatic conditions Suoh conditions are of th future, how ever, and not until Russia has put Inte effect her policy of more Intense de velopment and ' Manchuria under th new regime promised has been opened to foreign methods can anything be expected of those countries.. . "Much Is said of Australian wheat and flour. I netice that recent dis patches state thai Hongkong la import ing th Australla'n product In larger quantity. - I doubt this seriously, and if such is the case at present, it will not likely continue any length, or tun. When I 'was In southern China Aus tralian flour could not compete with the American product : In prlo or quality, and accept my .assurance that th shrewd Chlness merchant Is not so moved by . any - boycott that he will purchase a product of higher prlc and Inferior quality.- - , . -' - A mio-eatlng sTattea. ''China Is a rlee-eating nation, as th world knows. For unnumbered cen turies her people have been uatng rice Inatead of any other breadstuff. Such a hoary custom naturally breeds strong prejudlcee.. Chinese are fond of thell rice and little time will be required to cultivate their taste for a superior food. This work will be facilitated as cheaper flour la delivered them, - Hut for many years yet their principal stapl will b rlo. r . "Among a people of such number there are bound to ,b many, wealthy and opulent families who are able to buy the best . of everything. When these have been r. converted to flout bread the demand from this class alone should b normou4 -Constant contact with occidental and th growing tendency to have the wealthy educated abroad will quickly develop a taate among them for bread.- The wealthy meet the foreigners more frequently. ar commencing to travel some and In due time will be demanding large quan tities of our auperlor foods.", . , So on- would be bothered with Mm. stlpatlon If every-on knew how natur ally snd quickly purdork Blond Bitters regulates the stomach and bowels. . , If THE MOST SERVICEABLE ' SCHOOL SUITS in town tha DUDLEY Have two wufrof trousers' era T: plain, .and one knickerbockCf inc jacjcci can dc worn piain or K Norfolk styles a WONDER .'
