AMERICAN REFORMS DENIED. FREE WOOL. • HIDES AND LEATHER. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. (Received December 15, 8 a.m.) NEW YORK, 14th December.

Boot and shoe manufacturers are in favour of repeal of the duty on hides, and a reduction of the duty on leather, but they wish to retain the present tariff on boots and shoes. CHANGES IN MONTENEGRO.
