THE TRADE COMMISSION.
THE LEATHER TRADE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, October 24. Before the Empire Trade Commission, Mr. James Powell, chairman of the London Chamber of Commerce leather section, condemned the wasteful manner- of branding Australian hides, which were also badly flayed ' T f estimated that Australia lost £1.000,000 yearly, as compared with Argentina, where small brands were used and more careful flaying done. He condemned the use of glucose, giving Australian hides a bad reputation. Leather was still sent to England as hides, a form English tanners had abandoned forty years ago.
