The boot and shoe trade is fair for the
season. Only light stocks have, so far,
arrived OF spring goods, hut daily addi-
tons will soon fill our wholesale houses,
l and IN a few days, or by the time the
weather again moderates, there will be
ample supplies on hand out of which to
select. The Reporter sEys of the Boston
market: 1.-THE demand for boots and
shoes continues good, and there are pres
ent in the msrket a large number OF
5 buyers from all sections of the country
the greater portion OF large orders have
s bsen given, and manufacturers are conse-
T quently fully employed in filling them.
7 The supplies of all kinds OF boots and
shoes which can be made with the aid Of
machinery, are ample, but of handmade
work there ia a scarcity, and prices are
advancing with the active demand. In
this line there is a great falling off in the
production with the opening Of spring,
IS q large portion of the workmen seek
outdoor employment, by which they
, can make nearly double the wages they
earn On the cheap boots and shoes which
| they make during the winter months"
The dry goods market is steady and
stocks fair. Spring prints are offered at
about New York rates, and staple goods
Of ali kinds are as low here as ia the
Eastern markets. The New York Com
merciaI Bulletin says; "SheetiDgs and
shirtings are in quite good demand st
present rates, but are held firmly. We
note no changes. In prints a dull mar
ket still prevails, but jobbers are more
hopeful Of a good spring trade, as cotton
seems to advance in irmness and price.
The demand for spring HOolens is i'm
proving but notably for the better quail
ties, which command fair prices, while
low grades are 3 drag on the market and
are offered very cheap. Kentucky jeans
are in better demand, and as stocks are
somewhat reduced prices tend to much
higher rates. CottonEdes are not as
