ouiet This money has also come from circles
that could well afford to part with 1t, and the
activity to our retail stores almost makes us
wish that similar festivities might occur nj more
frequent intervals.
Pearl street Boston. really looks like the
e'banouet hall deserted, and the rast has been
one of the most quiet weeks known in the shoe
business for many years. The sales foot up
small aggregate while Lynn and Haverhll have
been dull in the extreme The bulk of the BUSH
ness is now confined TO orders from remote deal
ers who are pecing ont their stocks, and are
consequently sending for assortments. Slippers
are in good demand, and not for many years
have these goods sold so well as this year.
There is nc life to the general trade, and what
ever is doing is on "specialtes." Manufacture
ers, as a general thing, anticipate starting up

idle.
The Commercial Bulletin says; Gas usual
just before the holidays, the stores are crowded
and the country merchants are in town in full
force making their selections Dry goods mcr-
chants report a brisk trade and every thing
which enters into lady's boudoir is in demand.

are many novelties in the market Not Tor many

Those who remember the enthusiasm and
energy Of the protector of the peace jubilee,
need hardly be Told that Mr.. Gilmore is as full
of confidence in the final triumphant success of
the still more stupendOuS undertaking he has
now in hand, and that he is working with the
same determined will and courage to bring the
musical world together in one grand festival Of
harmony. His visit to Europe has been most
satisfactory. His sanguine temperament, un-
failing resources and ingenuity, and above all
his enthusiasm and appreciation of the gram
deur of this subject, have apparently infected the
foreign musicians, who look with combined
curiosity and interest upon a scheme of such
vast proportions. All doubts have been dis
PEELED by the success of the peace jubilee, and
they evidently believe that the man who could
carry that through, might safely challenge fate
10 defeat, him in everything. The foreign gov
ernments, our own national officials abroad
and the foreign musicians, have given MIR. Gil
more all the encouragement he needed in those
quarters.
