PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 16.—Whole-
sale prices on men’s and women's
footwear have been advanced 50c to
75c a pair within the last seventy-
two hours and certain lines have been
withdrawn entirely from the market,
owing to a shortage in leather, ac-
cording to an announcement here to-
day by officers of the Pennsylvania
Shoe Travelers’ Association.
Many letters were read from firms
manufacturing shoes announcing an
advance of from 37c to 60c a pair on
upper stock and 8c to 10c a pound on
sole leather.
