HARNESS WILL GO UP, TOO. Leather Has Advanced 50 to 75 Per Cent. Kaneas City Times. The people of the ‘United will soon look upon boots and shoes as luxuries, for the price of hides and leather have shot skyward, and with them have gone the price of! footwear, especially of the cheaper grades. The man with a wooden leg will soon be able to congratulate himself. The price of harness has gone up with the price of shoes, and its up- ward whirl will haye a tendency to cause people to pause awhile before buying new sets of harness merely because they look better than old ones. Prices on leather have gone up 50 to 75 per cent. Shoes that once cost $3 will now cost $3.75, and those that cost $4 will be marked at $5, if shoe dealers words are to be taken. Itis claimed by many that the United States Leather company of Boston, with a capital of $120,- 000,000, is responsible for the ad- vance in price. It is claimed by others that the scarcity of hides. There is no doubt that the latter has something to do with the case for in the four cities of Kansas City, Chi- cago, Omaha and St. Louis the re- ceipts of cattle for the first four months of 1895 were 325,000 less than during the same time in 1894. On the other hand, the United States Leather company has a cor-| ner on hides from which the com- mon red sole leather is made. The United States Leather company and other large tanneries of the United States notified the shoe manufatur- ers throughout the country several days ago that the prices of leather would gaup, and up they went. She manufacturers, in turn, notified the jobbers and retailers, that the price of fall goods will be about 25 per cent above the present price,and the prices prevailing in the last two | years. ; ; | The price of green hides has ad- vanced from 100 to 140 the last few mouths. the leather made from has taken a corresponding advances or from 8 to 10 per pound. per cent in Shamming Insanity.
