The high peak in the cost of hides
and the production of shoe leather
came on August 15, and since that
time has decreased at least 25 per
cent, according to J. Frank McEl- ty
wain, president of the National Boot "o
and Shot' Manufacturers, of Boston, st
vno spoke at a luncheon given by the eo
Middle States Shoe Wholesalers' as- ce
sociation at the Astor hotel. It was B<
toe tfte 1st anniversary meeung ui wi
the organization, and 50 shoe dealers CI
from throughout the Central and th
Eastern states were in attendance, be
Mr. McEIwain, declaring that the
recent rumors to the effect that the Ot
cost of shoes was to soar until per- 0<
sons in ordinary circumstances could re;
not afford to Wear leather footgear co
to be entirely baseless, said that in- ca
asmuch as it required about six be
months for the consumer to realize
any difference in cost of the raw shop <1?
materials, he expected by March or thApril,
or May at the least, the cost
of shoes to the consumer again would
return to something like normal. sk
"The reason for our high prices on
shoes," he said, "has been principal- sa

Europe with its leather and finished f?

"It is not true that the price of rn'
shoes is to go higher." &a
In a meeting held later in thj day E'1
it was brought out that the shoe r>'
buyers in this country were, wearing
better shoes at this time than ever Fl
before. Men and women, particularly
the latter, would not use inferior
grades of leather, it was said, and
were willing to pay most any price
to get the best of materials. i
The number of colors to prevail in
women's shoes this winter, it was
said, would be reduced to six. Xone
of the flat heel or square toe styles I
would be popular, but men and wo- j
men alike were demanding narrow, | R
stylishly built shoes, and stocks of
shoes fashioned after the army shoes
were being sold out at great losses G<
because they were not in demand. to
On" account of, labor troubles, it fo
was said, the country was now pro- fo
Jucing only about 60 per cent, of the [ fo
output possible in the United States.! of
