Boston Boot and Shoe Market.

Boston, April 30.-The shipments of Boots and
Shoes from this market to places outside of New
England for the past week comprise % ,614 cases.
against q, TS3 for the same week last year.
The total shipments from this market since Janu-
airy LIST have been cases. against 431 245
for the same period last year.
The shipments from Lynn for the week have been
1893 cases. against 1896 cases for the same week last
year.
The shipments from Haverhill for the week COM
prise 1853 cases. against 1928 for the week
last year.
Remarks-There is nothing to notice in the Boot
and Shoe market, with the exception that business in
those towns where thin work is speciality is more
quiet, and the production is gradually reduced. AL
most every manufacturer is receiving orders from his
customers daily, but the bulk of the Spring trade is
over and no light work is being turned out except as
previously ordered. In those towns where thick
boots constitute the bulk of the business there is
fair activity and the workmen are fully employed,
but there very little preparation yet to manuae-
ture womens goods for the Fall trade will there
be for month or more to come. The cost of leather
which is an important item in the manufacture Of
thick boots is greater than last year. and this fact
leads to greater caution among manufacturers, and
will be likely to lessen the production until prices fol
the manufactured goods are fully established.
