continue very inactive. There is q light
demand for choice goods suitable Tor the
eity retail trade. I~mpOrtatlons are in
cressiDg, and now far exceed those of
LAST wear. Prices will open higher thar
last year.
The boot and shoe market does not
show any noticeable change since our
last report. There IS 8 good demand for
light work, and on this style Of goods
prices are firm, but the remaining stock
Of heavy goods are offered at a slight de-
cline.
The increasing amounts Of goods being
f. ken for the Southern and Southwestern
markets maintain q moderate degree of
activity here, says the New York Shoe
Repoyter, although orders from the West
and the nearby trade are not coming in
with quite as much freedom az expected.
The state Of su spense ia which nearly ali
branches of business is held on account
OF the uncertainty Of Congressional &C
ton in relation to financial and revenue
matters does not interfere so much with
this department as in other lines, except
as it operates to prevent the greater ease
of the money market. Our manufactu-
rers and dealers, however, find but little
difficulty at present in obtaining all the
accommodation required, and as the sup
ply Of money in the South and West is
relatively greater than FOR several years
past, no doubts are entertained bat that
we shall nave 8 large and healthy spring
trade. Manufacturers are fully en-
