Philadelphia Boot and Shoe Market
The Shoe and Leather Reporter says: Trade with
both jobbers and manufacturers continues ouite az
tive, and the sales made have been about as last
week. The largest proportion of the customers and
orders have been from Pennsylvania and Ohio
Dealers have been here from Virginia, MARYLAND
and some of the western States, and occasionally
purchaser from the south and southwestern sections
of the country but the trade from the latter points
is about and the stores of dealers having mOst
of that trade beginning to wear quiet ASPECT
Manufacturers as general thing are ante ac-
lively employed in filling orders and making nm
work for direct sales. The city retail trade have
bought considerable quantities of goods from manu-
facturers and the jobbers also buying little for
fitting up 8ssortments. On the whole sppesrsnaes
are encouraging for fair trade for few weeks 10
