The jobbers of boots and shoes at Chicago are
nearly all active, and shipments there from Bos-
ton are still on liberal scale, footing up the
past week 1888 cases. Shipments TO other
points west have been rather light, and to all
outside of New England only 1891 cases have
been dispatched. This, however, is an increase
of 1914 cases over that OF the corresponding
week Of last year Manufacturers OF mems
fancy slippers are generally busy. and others
who make "A speciality of certain kinds OF season.
able goods are fairly active, though this is the
duh season, and the manufacture OF staple
goods is now comparatively light.
Boston letter TO the Rochester Democrat
says; Il saw letter Yesterday written in
Hong Kong, China, bv an American gentleman
and native of that city, which stated among
other matters Ofinterest TO the public, that an
agent there bad completed arrangements for
sending large number of coolies or heather
Chinese TO Massachusetts fer the purpose of do
ing work in the cotton factories, and that two
f0ads had already started, TO be landed at Sa-
lem. don't know whether this cheap labor is

other manufacturing towns in that section, but |
ii IS conclusive that the home operatives will
soon have to fall back before the Celestial wave.
About year ago there was some talk of Su0sti- |
tuting coolie labor Tor that Of the present Kind
and the successful manner in which the Chi |
nese have taken to boots ard shoes at North |
Adams, in this state, has no doubt encouraged |
the wooden and cotton corporations to also try |
the experiment"
In its gossip about trade, the Commercial Bull |
letin says:-"Hay has been rather short in this |
market of late, owing in part to the fact that
freight cars have been mostly taken for the
transportation of apples, potatoes, &c, to the
eastern markets. There seems TO be growing
feeling that hay will rule high in this market all
through the winter, as ii is now definitely set
tied that very little, if any, viii come from
Maine, or from many points on the line OF the
northern roads, whence more or less hay is
usually sent to Boston through the fall, Ad- |
vices from Maine are to the effect that winter is
setting in several weeks earlier than usual, and |
that there Is not two thirds enough hay in the |
state TO carry the present live stock through the |
winter and spring. The amount of hay in the |
hands ofdealerS in this city, at the present time,
Is very small, and there has not been time lOr |
many months when 50 many of the large con-
Sumers have had such limited supply. The |
average daily consumption in Boston and ycin-
ity is fully one hundred and fifty tons. Our |
supplies now come mostly from northern Yer
mont and Canada; but several cargoes have re-
Gently been received from Nova Scotia, which, |
however, is mostly Of an inferior quality. The |
recent large fires at the west have advanced |
prices in that section, so that it cannot now be |
shipped east and leave margin enough to dealers |
here to make il an ohiectio handle il"

Col. George w. Riddle treasurer of the New |
England agricultural society, has just accepted |
q design for diploma, and contracted with |
Messrs. w. H. Forbes & Co, of Boston, for four |
hundred copies which will be ready for delivery |
10 exhibitors at the late fair in Lowell, about |
the first Of January. Col Riddle has also con-
tracted for seventy-ive bronze and siXty-fve |
silver medals which will be ready for distribu- |
non about the same time The society has paid |
out about $1,000 in premiums, and will receive |
an equal share with the Middlesex society Of

In Lynn, Friday evening, the wife Of John G.
Clinton, barber was discovered in their dwell |
ing shockingly burned, and dead. A broken
kerosene lamp was near her. As Clinton is |
known TO have had frequent quarrels with his
wife, he is held to await the action Of the coro
ner's jury.
The loss 10 the Eastern railway from the high
tides amounts to large sum. The loss of four
days business is no inconsiderable cOnsldera-
lion, and for that time it loses all its immense

The expense Of clearing and repairing the track |
on the marshes will foot up several thousands |
OF dollars.
The boot and shoe manufacturing in Haver
hill is remarkably quiet Just now, although |
there are some firms that continue 10 turn ont |
the usual complement, regardless Ofthe ups and |
downs OF the trade. Such firms, however have |
a wen established business, and manufacture an |
lneXhausfible variety OF goods, suitable for any |
market. Since the close Of the war manufac- |
turers have given more attention to the style |
and quality of their goods, and il is Claimed |
that Haverhi goods stand as high, if not higb |
er, than any goods manufactured in New En- |
gland, and, as proof OF this, manufacturers in |
other places have been compelled, in many in |
stances, to adopt the style and finish of goods |
made there, in order TO compete with Haverhills |
enterpriSing manufacturers. There is not a |
large stock of manufactured goods on hand,
which would seem to indicate that the present
dizziness will not long continue.
