BOSTON. April %.
There are no now features to record in the Boot
and Shoe MARKET the demand is good at advanced
pricer. and buyers remain in market to secure goods
before too late in the season for work. II is
quite new feature In this market to hear general
complaints that goods are scarce, and those having
seasonable stocks in store enabled to obtain ask
ing prices if they can be delivered immediately Or
ders for future delivery are less active buyers pre-
ierlng to trust to looking up goods rather than wait
for them and risk being lae Tor the tiade. With ma
terials at the present high price, manufacturers are
firm in their views, and not disposed to make up
large amounts OF goods in advance, either of thin
summer or thick work for the fall trade. Prices of
the heavier grades of Boots and Shoes already ieel
the effects OF the advance spring goods and are
considerably firmer than they were two weeks ago
Reports of consumption from distant markets con-
hnue favorable for good trade till quite late in the
season The demand for the New England market
has improved, and goods selling freely either Tor
cash or on short time, to Gen of Al credit In STYLES
there is nothing particularly new, slight variations
in the cut of the uppers and trimmings being the
only noticeable change. "Box' toes are till being
very ally made, but the medium round style
has the preference. Narrow rquare toes are sold to
sold extent in the immediate city trade but do not
find much favor generally in the outside markets.
