BOSTON, May ~.
The annual dullness in the wholesale Boot and
Shoe market has fully set in; there is little doing
cept in the way of preparation for the fall demand.
Prices of Boots and Shoes now probably as high
they will be for the present. and they will continue
at nearly the same rates through the summer for
desirable lines, while inferior qualities will ex
perience sharp competition account of the full
supply and quick reduction. The demand rom the
Middle and New England States continues good, and
our jobbing houses active, with firm and steady
market regar prices. This seasons business no
doubt will prove full satisfactory to the trade
expected during the early spring, as rather a
light business was generally expected, and dealers
trimmed accordingly. We notice among the jobbng
houses some who keep very fine quality OF goods
which will supply a want long experienced in this
market by buyers heretofore they have had to look
either to manufacturers in different places go to
the New York market to make purchases of the finer
qualities; these goods can now be found on hand
here Of the very best manufacture and all the latest
styles made expressly for the retail custom trade
