BOOTS AND SHOES.-MerchantS in this
line of business experience with others
that times are exceedingly dull, but they
are hopeful, and viii have full stocks when
the water will allow communication with
their customers.
HATS AND CAPs-AND CLoTHING.-The
present month is a transition period be-
tween the closing of Winter and the open
ing of the Spring trade-a season when
our merchants are not expecting very
large trade in their line. When the Spring
trade does open, we are confident induce
ments will be offered in our city that will
cause many merchants TO send their orders
here in preference to visiting Cincinnati,
Louisville or st. Louis.
Observation-Disclosures continues dull.
No changes in quotations have been given
us. The season has been unusually adj
verse to the Queensware trade. Between
the ice and the flood, our merchants have
been cut off almost entiI ely from their Gus
toners during the greater part of the win
ter. This will only give them the better
stocks with which to operate when the
floods subside, and Spring comes a smil-
ing guest"
