the lst inst, says:
"The meeting Of shoe manufac-
turers and dealers held last night
resolved to advance their prices 20
per cent. ("
The Newburyport Herald, pub
lished in one of the largest shoe
manufacturing towns in Massachu-
sets, says:
1.-The shoe business has been pros
trated by adverse circumstances, till
it is at the lowest point that has been
reached for years, and many manu-.
facturers--especiallyo Of women shoes
: are reducing the rates of labor and
discharging hands. Prices are not
advancing; but stock is. The last
sales of hides we have heard OF, took
place this week. when Buenos Ayr, S
hides sold for 3S cents pound, which
is the highest they have ever reach
ed, and about three times their value
seven years ago."
