Iteadjnst Property Account, "The end of the year period,'1 said VT, S. Hoyt, president of tho company. In his remarks to alockhoders, "and the strong situation df the company have, af forded tho opportunity to readjust the property account of tho company to re flect to a conservative extent a portion of the enhancement In the pe-war values of Its timber lands and forest products and to eliminate from the property account the entire amount of all Intangtblo values. As stated by the directors In the annual report, this re adjustment has long been In contempla tion. The modern tendency In business conditions, and particularly with respect to Federal and State taxation, has In creased and emphasized the desirability of this action. The readjustment has been made without Impairment of the previously existing surplus. The slaughter of domestic cattle started to fall off after, tho armistice. A serious strike broke out at the ports of Buenos Aires and Montevideo in late January. Embargoes were In force on raw materials from he British colonies. Shipping was Bcarce from Central Amer ica and the open ports of South America- The result of these conditions was that In the early spring tho situation for hide supplies became acute. At about the same time the demand for boots and shoos commenced in large volume and remained so throughout tha year. "The scarcity of raw materials and the demand for shoes was reflected In a steadily increasing demand for leather at advancing prices which rapidly ab sorbed the accumulated jStocks. During this period the domestic and foreign hide harltets continued to advance rapidly un til the peak was reached in early August, the leather market following In part Later a lull occurred in the purchase of leather by shoe manufacturers and a downward trend from extreme prices be gan to show Itself in the hide market. -SXport Business Curtailed. "The export business of your company has been curtailed n 1919 In the early part of the year by embargoes, lack of shipping facilities and the unsettled con ditions In Europe and in the' last few months by the continual depreciation of exchange in all countries where we have had a market for our product In more normal times. "Since the beginning of the new year the resumption of the . demand tor leather, which appeared In December, 1919, has continued and the opinion pre vails that the demand for boots and shoes Is large and will continue for sev eral months to come, which if true should create a good demand ror sole and upper leather. "Wo are confronted in the future as regards our export business with the dif ficulties previously mentioned and can not forecast the outcome under condi tions now prevailing. Many indications point to the fact that If satisfactory ar rangements f6r .financing purchases by foreign countries can be consummated, there wi(l be a large demand abroad for leather and raw materials and tanning materials as well "Our business for the coming year will depend on the general prosperity in this country, concentrated' effort on the part of labor to Increase efficiency and pro duction, adjustment of International credit and most thoughtful and construc tive legislation for conservation of credit of the railroads and public utilities."
