The Boot ami Shoe market Is putting
on the appearance OF renewed activity,
sud indications point to q large spring
trade. Prices will open about as they
did last fall, and it is expected that no
decline will be felt until along into the
summer. Spring goods will be in store
By the first Of Msrch-in fact are already
on the way. The Shoe Reporter says Of
the Boston market: The Boot and Shoe
market continues fairly active, and the
large buyers are pressing their orders for
completion ut an early date, fearing
further advance in prices for thin sum
mer work. Consequent upon the early
demand this year, prices are much irmer
than usual for the first Of February, but
as the larger orders will be filed q month
earlier this year than they were LAST,
some accumulation Of boots and shoes,
under the present system Of rapid pro-
duction, may be expected in March and
April, though the increased Southern
demand will relieve the market to some
extsnt, but the great increase in the pro-
duetion will be equal to any demand in
the event OF the trade demanding $4,000
extra cases for the summer they can
be quickly turned out, with the aid Of all
the present appliance of machinery /;
hence We have no fears of short supplies
OF goods on the contrary, a surplus Of
stock in April is quite as probable. Out
side of the trade the impression prevails
that there W. was a better business
doing, and likely to be done for the next
three months, but with the regular trade,
although some increase in the demand is
expected, s. early decline in the active
requests anticipated, and thst the spring
