UPTURN IN HIDES-
BT VICTOR EUBANK
;(Aoo)ted Press Financial Writer)
NEW YORK, AuB. 'JO. WWIIdss,
amonf the first of the commodities
to Bbow signs ol recovery (rom low
price lerels, have adilcd several cents
to their value per pound.
Hides are claimed by some eiperta
to be mnonir Hie bent barometers of
. economic foniiltlons. From the lowest
level since 1S!, or around it H i cents
a pound last June, packer bides have
advanced to about 7 cmts a pound
' today. It is said offerings are di
minishing as the demand grows.
Hldea prices readied thVr all-time
' peak at about 60 cents a pound right
after the war. This was abnormal.
They dropped to 7 cents a pound in
1021, recovered to between 12 and
" IS ceUs by 10L'7 and, in 1028, they
preceded the bull market by attaining
a rate of 25 centa a pound. Hides be
gan to sink, however, Just before the
bull market attuim its full bloom.
They were among the first of the
commodities to i jint downward. Also
thty were among tho first commodi
tiu to show .igus of emerging from
tht) recent depression depths.
Unlike other corai.iodit. , through
out the depression there has never
been an ovcrsupply of hides. But, as
prices dropped, cattle began to grow
scarce, l'eople ate less meat than
usual because of eunomic conditions,
bought fewer pairs of new shoes and
Hi tanners , depleted th-.r vats to
such nn extent they were not ready
for the firming demand that came
(rom manufacturers.
"It was Inevitable that bide prices
should advance," Arnilld
Hcbmoll, Jr., first vice-president of
the New lork hide exchange. "Tho
first signs of Improvement really
came from abroad and soon prices in
England were double .nose in this
country."

The entire slate Is wstrhing the
Eugene movement with Interest, ssys
Chsmbers. Msx Grhlsr. head of the
state department of agriculture, says
thst the Eugene ordinance will prob
ably be adopted In other cillea In
Oregon aa a protection for Oregon
products.
If the ordinance passes It will
probably not effect retail pricea for
fruit and vegetables, save Chambers.
He poluts out that tons ot outside
produce Is trucked hero every month,
moat of it picked up aa cull atuft in
California or Washington. An Inst
ance pointed out was the arrival re
cently of a 10-ton truck from San
Diego with lettuce, cniillflowcra and
peas. The produce being perishable,
the trucker unloaded it at 111 rents a
crate when he found he could not
sell It st the regulsr rates charged.
Some was given away.
The ordinance was drawn up by
City Attorney Calkins at the request
of the agricultural committee headed
hy Chsmbers and made up of Frank
Matsger, Elmo Chase, William James
and Lee Turner.
Following is the petition signed by
many of the farraera asking that the
ordinance be adopted aa aa emerg
ency measure:

"The ordinance, If passed, should
Immediately improve conditions in
this farming district," aaya Cham
bers. "Eugene consumes close to a
million dollars In fruit and vegetables
per year. If the new ordinance will
save only a percentage of this mar
ket for Lane county growers, ita ef
fect can readily be understood.
"Potutoes, fruit and vegetables of
alt kinds are being shipped in by itin
erant truckers to thla city. Most of
the produce ia of the type not handl
ed by legitimate agenclea, but It com
petea with the produce raised here In
Lane county.
"The new ordinance will not pr--vent
the shipping In of outside pro
duce, but it will confine that ship
ping to established and responsible
agencies. A Lane county grower will
not bring in a truck load of lettuce to
the Eugene market, for instance, and
find that a truckload of aecond grade
lettuce , from California has preceded
him at unreaaonably low prices."
