LEATHER.

€1919

In the leather trade of Walsall most of the work at present being | executed is on account of home requirements, the export trade being largely in abeyance. Che insignificance of foreign orders is attributable primarily to the high prices prevailing. Some uneasi- ness in this industry is, being shown because of the fact that certain countries that formerly depended upon England for sadd lery and harness are now making the goods they require or it purchasing elsewhere, and

that the ten- feared dency for wages to go on in- creasing will prolong existing difficulties. The English home trade, in saddlery and harness is considered to be extremely good. This is ascribed to the extra ain tention now being given to agriculture, the demobilisation of horses, and the demand for equip ment for horse-drawn traffic in the towns, owing to the depletion of stocks. Walsall firms do not make agricultural harness, but the local hardware trade supplies all the fittings, such as chains, hames, and gearwork. The fancy leather goods trade is being affect- ed by the demobilisation

thousands of munition many workers and by the fact that few people in England have money to spare for luxuries. It is said that at the British Industries Fair the orders booked, formed only a small proportion of those placed last year. At the 1918 fair one Walsall firm is said to have secured orders enough, to last them more than 12 months; this year, in contrast, the orders booked will not last 3 months. It is stated that a large number of buyers were present at the fair and inquiries, were much more numerous than usual, but that the orders placed were mostly of an experimental character It is,

that however, hoped business will follow.

IRON AND STEEL Manchester, June iron and steel market was fairly well attended to-day, but there was no definite change in the conditions of trade. It was easy to sell foundry iron, as there were more buyers than sellers, and the latter are not now. in a position to offer targe lots or far forward deliveries. Probably the unwill- ingness to take contracts for extended delivery is not because any great rise of price is expected ör wished for, but because of the uncertainty of the position as regarde raw material and fuel, and a fear that përhaps it will not be possible to keep the furnaces working satisfactorily. For small lots of Derbyshire No. 3 Trou sellers quote from £8. 5s. to £8. 10s. delivered, and there is very little of any other sort of foundry iron on the market at present. Lincolnshire iron, when there is

The advance in steel rails is £1 per ton, and in joists 10s. per ton Our steel rail price is now about, £6 per ton higher than the American rail price. In the scrap market there is still very little business. A meeting of the Scrap Association is to be held the afternoon, and an endeavour
