6. Other eastern trimmed calfskins, not equal in all respects to New York 
City skins, shall sell at relatively less, according to their value. Nobody shall 
be allowed to give the butcher a bonus, because this practice is construed to 
mean paying more than the maximum. 
7. The selection on calfskins sold by the piece is as follows : 
A No. 2 skin is one with a cut an inch and a half in from the edge, or with 
a bad sore, with a horn scratch or a wire scratch, or with the grain damaged 
in any way — such as a slip, or a skin that has a poor pattern. 
A No. 3 skin is one that is very badly cut or very badly slipped, or one whose 
pattern is damaged so badly that the cutting space is limited. 
The reduction for No. 2's on trimmed skins is as follows : 
10 cents on 4 to 5's. 
15 cents on 5 to 7's, 7 to 9's, 9 to 12's. 
20 cents on 12 to 17's. 
25 cents on 17's and up. 
Country hides and skins, maximum prices.
