Boston Boot and Shoe Market, Kay II.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter says: There is no
particular change to note in the boot and shoe mar
ket Tor tho present week. and trade continues
quiet and promises no improvement until after the
first of July. We notice the continuance among us
OF members of several prominent Western houses, but
they arc not purchasing to any extent, although ad
vised to stay. trade in those sections is good ana
more shoes will soon be wanted The State conSta-
bles kindly allow these gentlemen a moderate even
ing exercise at billiards. but lager beer and ao at
dinner are abridged.
The manufacturers are doing very little and only
making orders. The prospect of an abate-
ment in the manufacturing tax will make quite
difference with both manufacturers and buyers and
as TO change will be made before July. no specula-
tive movement VIII take place before that time. 1t
is estimated that the reduction Of this tax wimake
difference Of forty to fifty thousand dollars yearly
TO our large shoe firms.
