Hide Market Fails
To Show Weakness
Iif Any Big Degree
Leather Trade Extremely- Good
German Said to Be Baying Up
Snppljr for Peace.
While there is considerable talk la the local
trade regarding the extreme weakness in the
hide market, tad the sharply lower prices to
the east, private a (It Ices from there fall to
disclose anything really alarming In the situa
tion. Tbe fact of tbe matter U that at thla time
of the year tbe quality of- fa Idea la not aa fa
vorable at in other aeasooa. For that reason
tbe stock It not worth at much aa when quality
b at lit best, home interests seem to take
tbe lower price offered at an Indication of 1
weaknesa la tbe market's structure, but tult Is ,
ecarcviy prupcr.
The following mall advice from Philadelphia
throws some light upon the leather altuatlon,
which la naturally tbe chief concern of tbe
LIde market:
"Peace talk is not Influencing the leather
market In the slightest, aud prtcea again this
week ahow advaticea over the last reported
period, although leas sensational than for aev.
era! weekt past. According to large heavy
leather tannert bare, - eole etock will more
likely go higher rather than show price reduc
tions in tbe event of the war being termi
nated at this time.
"It It pointed out to support of thla view
of the possible effect' of acceptance of Oer
many'a peace proffer that already German
agents are buying up young cattle In South
America, and that undoubtedly aa soon aa tbe
la over uermany win vie with Ureat
Hrilaln in blddlns uu South American hides
making It even harder than now, with England
virtually in control of the foreign hide market,
for American tannera to get raw atock. Sole
leather la selling around $8.60 A pound in Oer
many, according to reports, which atrengtbene
the belief of tbe tannert here that acute
scarcity exists In central Europe, certain to be
followed by a acramble for both bides and
finished leather wJtb tbe advent of peace.
"Undlmlnithedeftemand, both for export and
on tbe part of domestic aboe manufacturers,
la keeping the market bare of sole leather
stocks and. aa has been true of tbe last
month s trading, more business la being turned
away than It taken on by tbe tanneries. The
market bat tettled down to a determined
starch for immediate requirements by the shoe
uinnuracturera, who are able to buy only auch
quantitiet as tannera are aaoured are for ready
consumption Some leather is still being cold
for export, but, according to reports, no large
lots are being considered by aellara, who pre
fer to apportion available supplies among old
c-udtoinera lu tbe domestic trade."
Poultry Show Is
Opened at Tacoma
Tacnma. Wash., Dec. 26. Ths Tacoma poul
try show opened today. December 2U, and will
run tbe week. The show will be held in tbe old
McConnlck building at the corner of Fifteenth

At Tacoma this year there wll be a lot of
fine fowls fur sale, and with these fowls will
go a acore card that will tell the buyer tbe

pected to caue many fowls to change hands, as
It will show the buyer Just bow dose the aale
row la come to the winning birds.

'Makers' Convention
To Be a Topilner
Seventh Annual Meeting to Be Held
at Salem Thursday andriday
Thla Week.
Aa a result of the excellent program of edu
cation secured, the seventh annual meeting of
the Oregon Bntter a Cheese Makers' associa
tion, which will be held at Salem Thursday
and Friday, promises to be the best since tbe
organisation was started.
Tbe program will be largely of Interest to
tbe butter maker, the cheese maker, and the
producer. The association fortunately obtained
John Sollle of San Francisco as a speaker and
a judge at the convention. Mr. Sollle hat
apeat the beet years of bit life in the dairy
on tbe coast, both by reputation and personally.
Hit presence tt tbe convention will be aa as
surance of good leadership.
C. W. Barkalow of the Norway creamery.
bekl In this state of late years, baa also con
sented to be present. Mr. Barkalow is from
Coos county, and will bring a large following
cf bis fellow makers Troni that community.
Tula is tbe first convention to be held since th
completion of tbe railroad to that section, and
affords the first oportunlty to meet with those
operating in thst county.
Tbe papers and contests are to have the ob
ject in view of improving the cheese and
batter produced within the stats. The most
vital point for tuch improvement la tbe fact
that Oregon baa reached tbe point where aha It
more than supplying her own market, and must
seek tbe larger marketa In the eaat. Realising
that a standard quality is necessary In order
to attract tucb markets, the majority of the
ptpert tnd contents scheduled will be tpent in
determining the best methods to be followed to
secure auch results.
Liberal prises are offered for exhibits of
batter tnd cheese. The prUe winners are to
be determined by scoring both for commercial
quality and composition. Thla really is an abil
ity test oo the part of the maker. Contests
among the makers on scoring butter, cheese
and cream will enlighten the convention, at
well as provide valuable Instruction.

If Carranaa does not sign as stipu
