" The past year was a particularly trying period for tho tanning industry. Tanners were unanimous that the industry was in a far from satisfactory Etate, and " that a continuance of the present conditions would sea 1 a. serious decline in a very few years/' says the Government Statistician. " The causes of this unsatisfactory state were: (1) The slack times obtaining in , the boot and shoe industry, following on increased importations of boots and shoes; (2) the" decrease in the demand for leather, for 'leather -goods and bags, due to increased importations of these lines, and the displacement of the cheaper lines oif leather hags, etc.. by substitutes; and (3) the gradual decline in the demand for leather in the saddlery and harness business, due to the increasing use of the motor in preference to the horse."
