forwarded 112,974 doz., 59,243_l._, to Marseilles in 1878, and 8407 bales, 48,000_l._, in 1880; these skins are used for the manufacture of morocco leather, for which they are peculiarly suitable, owing to their fineness of grain, caused, it is said, by the rich diet, consisting of the fruits of the argan tree. The approximate London market values of goat-skins are:--East Indian, 4-15_d._ a lb.; best tanned, 2_s._ 4_d._-3_s._ 8_d._; inferior to good tanned, 9_d._-2_s._ 5_d._; Cape, best, 11-18_d._; Cape, inferior to good, 8-14_d._ Turkey is one of the largest rearers of goats, and consequently the manufacture of morocco leather is extensively carried on in that country. Formerly, nearly all the buck-skins found their way to London, but they were displaced by Indian goat-skins; and, for a time, the exportation of Turkish buck-skins experienced a check, the result being the establishment of a large number of manufactories in Vienna and the different Austro-Hungarian provinces. These establishments have prospered and been enlarged, and get the major portion of their goat-skins from the London market. It is, however, proposed in Austria to do without the London market in future, and to institute at Trieste periodical sales of goat-skins, which will be, especially for Vienna, of great advantage from the point of view of cost of transport. Notwithstanding the exportation of buck-, goat-, and sheep-skins from Turkey, there are still sufficient remaining in the country to form the basis of a very flourishing and entirely indigenous industry. The Turk is very unskilful in the manufacture of sole leather; but the article in which he excels is morocco leather for slippers, tanned exclusively with sumach. The production of tanned buck-skins reaches yearly a total of nearly a million skins, and of sheep half a million; the best kinds are those of Philippopolis, Samakof, and Peristra. The Bulgarian skins are not so well tanned as those mentioned, although the quality of the raw skins is superior. The best at the present day are those of Sophia. _Horse._--Shanghai exported 458-1/2 _piculs_ in 1878. Rio Grande do Sul exported 10,714 pieces salted, and 601 dried, in 1879. The approximate London market values of horse-hides are:--English, 9-14_d._ a lb.; River Plate, 6-21_s._ a hide. _Kangaroo._--The skins of this animal are largely exported from Australia and Tasmania, forming some of the most pliable leather known. To prepare them for market, they should be carefully taken off, pegged out, and dried slowly in the shade.
