As we predicted in the previous market report, during the second half of December Russian raw hides' market saw the usual seasonal decrease
in demand and fewer business transactions. Prices have dropped further. Very limited demand for cattle hides of low grades (especially calves
and kips) and horse hides could be noted. Prices differ widely depending on origin, selection, terms of payment, etc.
Wet blue cattle hides of low quality also saw limited demand from abroad. Business activities will remain at very low levels until the end of
holidays (the 8th of January). Despite of continuing decrease in raw hides' prices during the second half of last year Russian producers of finished
leathers haven't made any considerable reductions in their prices. We shall see in the nearest future whether this situation is going to change.
