HIDES AND SHEEPSKINS

FRIDAY’S SALE. At Friday’s sale competition for dry sheepskins was animated at prices on a par with last sale’s figures. The hide market was erratic, and in some cases last sale’s values were maintained; but on the whole prices generally may be quoted somewhat easier, especially for ~ow hides. Calfskins and yearling's were in better demand at higher prices than were obtainable at last sale.
