LONDON HIDES MARKET.
Weddel and Co., London, November 2, reporting on the hide market, state that miscellaneous and colonial sorts continue to sell in small quantities, but all the same the prices obtainable are if anything rather less than those made last time. . . New Zealand freezer cows offered at 5%d are too dear, and there is no buying interest over sd. Similarly, Queensland meats attract-no attention even'at 6Yid. The demand in general for these colonial descriptions is exceedingly slow. A certain amount of business is reported in common African hides at low prices'. Leather prices continue to hold fairly well, but the amount of trade passing is not very substantial. The weakness of the raw hide market has not had any serious' effect on the leather position as yet, although it may eventually do so if it continues.
