     Y&#39; is a radical of the formula V ##STR7## or of the formula VI ##STR8## wherein R 3  is hydrogen, nitro, chlorine, methoxy, methyl or acetylamino, and the radicals V and VI can contain one or two sulfo groups, 
     s is 2, 3 or 4, and 
     Ka.sup.⊕  is a cation, and the ring 
     E is unsubstituted or substituted by nitro, chlorine, methyl, methoxy or sulfo. 
     The dyes of the formula I according to the invention can be produced by methods known per se, for example by producing the 1:1 chrome complex of the azo or azomethine dye of the formula VII ##STR9## and then reacting this with the dye of the formula VIII ##STR10## or preferably with a mixture of the amine of the formula IX ##STR11## and the aldehyde of the formula X ##STR12## 
     In the formulae VII to X, the symbols A, Z, B, D, Y, p and q have the meanings defined under the formula I. 
     The 1:1 chrome complex is produced by methods known per se, preferably in an acid solution with chromium-III salts. The 1:1 chrome complex is subsequently reacted in a slightly acid, neutral or slightly alkaline medium to the 1:2 chrome complex. 
     The novel metal-complex dyes of the formula I which are obtainable by the above process are isolated in the form of their salts, particularly alkali metal salts, especially sodium or lithium salts, or ammonium salts, or salts of organic amines having a positively charged nitrogen atom, and are suitable for dyeing and printing various materials, in particular however for dyeing and printing nitrogen-containing materials, especially leather. Dyes having 1 to 3 sulfo groups are furthermore suitable for dyeing silk and wool, as well as synthetic fibres made from polyamides or polyurethanes. 
     Orange or brown to olive dyeings having good fastness properties, particularly good fastness to light and to wet processing, are obtained. 
     The preferred use of the dyes according to the invention is for the dyeing of furs or leather, all types of leather being suitable, for example chrome leather, re-tanned leather or suede leather, of the goat, cow or pig. The dyes according to the invention which have 4 to 6 sulfo groups are suitable in particular for dyeing suede leather, since these dyes have good levelling properties and penetrate well. 
    
    
     The following examples serve to further illustrate the invention without the scope thereof being limited by them. The term `parts` denotes parts by weight, and percentages are percent by weight. 
     EXAMPLE 1 ##STR13## 
     In 600 parts of water are suspended 48.9 parts of the complex chromium compound of the type 1 atom of chromium: 1 molecule of dye (which contains 5.2 parts of chromium and 43.9 parts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised 6-nitro-1-amino-2-hydroxynaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid and 2-hydroxynaphthalene) with 16.8 parts of 6-nitro-4-methyl 2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene and 45.3 parts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised dehydrothio-p-toluidine-7-sulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde. The reaction mixture is heated to 80° to 85° C.; the pH value is adjusted to 7 to 7.5 with 5N sodium hydroxide, and the reaction mixture is held at this temperature and at a constant pH value until the starting products are no longer detectable. After completion of the addition reaction, the dye is precipitated by the addition of sodium chloride, filtered and dried. After drying, it is in the form of a dark powder which dissolves in water to give a brown colour, and dyes wool, polyamide material and leather in brown shades having good fastness properties. 
     EXAMPLE 2 ##STR14## 
     The 1:1 chrome complex containing 53.4 parts of the dye formed from diazotised 6-nitro-1-amino-2-hydroxynaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid and 2-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-7-sulfonic acid, as well as 5.2 parts of chromium, is introduced into 600 parts of water; there are subsequently added 15.4 parts of 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene and 45.3 parts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised dehydrothio-p-toluidine-7-sulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde. The reaction mixture is then heated to 80° to 85° C.; the pH value is adjusted to 7 with sodium hydroxide, and the mixture is held at this temperature and at a constant pH value until the starting products are no longer detectable. After completion of the reaction, the dye is isolated by concentration by evaporation. There is thus obtained a dark powder which dissolved in water to give an olive-green colour, and which dyes leather in fast olive shades. 
     EXAMPLE 3 ##STR15## 
     In 500 parts of water are suspended 58.4 parts of the complex chromium compound of the type 1 atom of chromium: 1 molecule of dye (which contains 5.2 parts of chromium and 53.4 parts of the monoazo dye formed from 6-nitro-1-amino-2-hydroxynaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid and 2-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-7-sulfonic acid) with 23.4 parts of 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-6-sulfonic acid and 45.3 patts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised dehydrothio-p-toluidine-7-sulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde. The reaction mixture is heated to 80° to 85° C.; the pH value is adjusted to 7 to 7.5 with 5N sodium hydroxide, and the mixture is held at this temperature and at a constant pH value until the addition reaction is completed. The chromium-containing dye is subsequently isolated by spray drying. There is obtained a dark powder which dissolved in water to give a greenish-olive shade, and which dyes leather in fast olive shades. 
     EXAMPLE 4 ##STR16## 
     30.9 parts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene and 2-hydroxynaphthalene are stirred up with 26.7 parts of chromic chloride hexahydrate in 400 parts by volume of ethylene glycol at 120° to 125° C. until no further unchromed dye is detectable. To the resulting solution of the 1:1 chrome complex dye at 80° to 85° C. are thereupon added 23.4 parts of 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-6-sulfonic acid and 45.3 parts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised dehydrothio-p-toluidine-7-sulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde, and the mixture is held at this temperature until the addition reaction has finished. The pH value of the reaction mixture is adjusted to and maintained at 7 to 7.5 during the reaction by the addition of 5N sodium hydroxide solution. After completion of the reaction, the chromium-containing dye is precipitated by the addition of a saturated sodium chloride solution, filtered off and dried. It is in the form of a dark powder which dissolves in water to give a brown colour, and which dyes wool, polyamide material and leather in brown shades having good fastness properties. 
     When the procedure is carried out as described in the Examples 1 to 4 except that the 1:1 chrome complex of the respective azo dye given in column 2 of the following Table is used, and is reacted with the azomethine dye shown opposite in column 3, or with the amine and aldehyde forming this dye, there is obtained in each case a 1:2 chrome complex which dyes leather in the shade indicated in column 4.

     EXAMPLE 5 ##STR73## 
     The 1:1 chrome complex containing 33.8 parts of the azomethine dye formed from 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-6-sulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde, as well as 5.2 parts of chromium, is introduced into 600 parts of water; there are subsequently added 15.4 parts of 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene and 45.3 parts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised dehydrothio-p-toluidine-7-sulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde. The reaction mixture is then heated to 80° to 85° C.; the pH value is adjusted to 7 with sodium hydroxide, and the mixture is held at this temperature and at a constant pH value until the addition reaction has finished. The chromium-containing dye is thereupon isolated by concentration by evaporation. It is a brown powder which dissolves in water to give an orange colour and dyes leather in yellowish-orange shades having good fastness properties. 
     When in the above Example the 15.4 parts of 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene are replaced by 23.4 parts of 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-6-sulfonic acid, there is obtained a dye which likewise dyes leather in fast orange shades. 
     EXAMPLE 6 ##STR74## 
     The 1:1 chromium complex containing 33.8 parts of the azomethine dye formed from 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-6-sulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde, as well as 5.2 parts of chromium, is introduced into 600 parts of water; there are subsequently added 15.4 parts of 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene and 53.3 parts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised 4&#39;-nitro-4-aminostilbene-2,2&#39;-disulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde. The reaction mixture is then heated to 80° to 85° C.; the pH value is adjusted to 7 with 5N sodium hydroxide, and the mixture is held at this temperature and at a constant pH value until the addition reaction has finished. The chromium-containing dye is isolated by concentration by evaporation. It is a brown powder which dissolves in water to give a yellowish-orange colour and dyes leather in fast yellowish-orange shades. 
     EXAMPLE 7 ##STR75## 
     In 600 parts of water are suspended 48.9 parts of the complex chromium compound of the type 1 atom of chromium: 1 molecule of dye (which contains 5.2 parts of chromium and 43.9 parts of the monoazo dye formed from 6-nitro-1-amino-2-hydroxynaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid and 2-hydroxynaphthalene) with 15.4 parts of 4-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene and 53.3 parts of the monoazo dye formed from diazotised 4&#39;-nitro-4-aminostilbene-2,2&#39;-disulfonic acid and salicylaldehyde. The reaction mixture is heated to 80° to 85° C.; the pH value is then adjusted to about 7 with 5N sodium hydroxide, and the mixture is held at this temperature and at a constant pH value until the addition reaction has finished. The dye is subsequently isolated by concentration by evaporation. It is a dark powder which dissolves in water to give a brown colour and dyes leather in fast brown shades. 
     When the procedure is carried out as described in Example 7, except that the 1:1 chromium complex of the respective azo dye given in column 2 of the following Table is used and is reacted with the azomethine dye shown opposite in column 3, or with the amine and aldehyde forming this dye, there is obtained in each case a 1:2 chrome complex which dyes leather in the shade of colour indicated in column 4.

     DYEING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEATHER 
     100 
     parts of suede leather for clothing (dry weight) are wetted back at 50° C. in a solution of 1000 parts by volume of water and 2 parts of 24% ammonia for 2 hours, and subsequently dyed at 60° C. in a solution of 1000 parts by volume of water, 2 parts of 24% ammonia and 6 parts of the dye from Example 2 for 1 hour. There is then added a solution of 40 parts by volume of water and 4 parts of 85% formic acid, and dyeing is performed for a further 30 minutes. The leather is afterwards well rinsed, and optionally further treated with 2 parts of a dicyandiamide/formaldehyde condensation product at 50° C. for 30 minutes. 
     Other suede leathers and also glove leathers can be dyed in the same manner. 
     The olive dyeings thus obtained are distinguished by good fastness properties and a good covering capacity. 
     DYEING INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLYAMIDE 
     100 parts of polyamide knitting yarn are introduced at 50° C. into a dye bath containing, to 4000 parts of water, 2 parts of the dye of Example 4, 4 parts of ammonium sulfate and 2 parts of a levelling agent. The liquor is brought to boiling in the course of 45 minutes, and is held for a further 45 minutes at the boiling temperature. The dyed material is thereupon removed, thoroughly rinsed with cold water and dried. The result is a polyamide which has been dyed in a brown shade and which has good fastness properties. 
     DYEING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOOL 
     100 parts of wool knitting yarn are introduced into a dye bath at 50° C., which contains, to 4000 parts of water, 2 parts of the dye of Example 4, 4 parts of 80% acetic acid and 2 parts of a levelling agent. The dye liquor is brought to the boiling temperature in the course of 45 minutes and is held at boiling temperature for a further 45 minutes. The dyed material is thereupon removed, thoroughly rinsed with cold water and dried. A wool which has been dyed in a brown shade and which has good fastness properties is obtained.
