D0S1ON DRT GoODS MARKET.

In the Dry Goods market dizziness has pre-
vailed to an unusual extent, owing mainly to
the prevalence of horse distemper
Goods could not be moved even If sold. and
customers understanding this, stayed at home.
Retailers, especially in Boston, and very
largely in the country towns, also found that
their customers could not get to the stores,
and business consequently fell off The job
bers in turn felt the depressing influence, and
sold but few goods. Some of our standing
commission houses were obliged to send or
ders to the mills that no more goods be ship
ped at present, as they cannot be taken care
of here.
The advance in cotton has strengthened the
market for cotton goods slightly, and,
were there an active demand, prices would
be likely to advance, but at present time, with
anticipated quiet season for the next two or
three months, the only result is to prevent a
decline There have been trifins reductions
in one or two lines OF brown cottons, but as
a rule, prices are unchanged. Brown cot
tons are only fairly active, even without max
ing allowance for the interruptions to trans

BOSTON SHOE MARKET.

During the past week there has been very
little doing among Boston dealers, owing to
the difficulty attending the moving Of goods.
At a meeting of leading members of the trade
early in the week measures were taken to
provide for the transportation of goods sold,
SO that no delay should occur, but the depres-
ion has been very great and few goods have
been moved. Pearl street has been almost
deserted, but dealers console themselves with
the thought that the difficulty occurs in their
dullest season, and does them no serious dan
age.
| An occasional oN-team is seen, loaded with
boots and shoes, or with leather. We hear
OF one enterprisiRg Lynn manufacturer, who,
having an order which he felt under obliga-
tons to fill promptly. loaded the goods upon
a team, which his employers drew to Boston,
delivering the goods in good order and in
good season. The jobbng trade has suffered
more than the manufacturers, as it Is busi-
err time with them, and country dealers do not
care TO buy goods which they fear they can
not get promptly.
The shipment of boots and shoes the past
week from this city, by rail and sea- TO ports
outside of New England, amount to 1883
cases for the corresponding week last year.
The total shipments since Jan. have been
l.lGl ,ls7 cases, against 1876, 233 for the cor
responding time last year. The shipments
from Lynn for the week hare been 22l6 cases,
and from Haverhill ,40ocases. - Boston Cc'''-

they came near lynching him. Evans was
reticent until Friday night, when he acsnowl-

and ten or more persons to wild spot In the

we're carried to Mr.. Mead's store, where the
inquest will be held. -,
The Monitor of last night has the follow
inc tale of the murder: "We learn from the

ter of Mr.. Sylvester Day, who has been mis-
sipe from her home since Frid.y morning,
October 25th, wss found about midnight last
night by Sheriff Drew, who had the suspected
murderer, Franklin B. Evans, In his custody.
He took Evans to the woods not far from the
spot where the trail of them was lost, in the
previous search, and underneath stump the
mutilated body of the young girl was found.
1t was removed to the store OF John G. Meade
where an inquest was to be held to-day.
These are all the particulars we have been
enabled to learn thus far. The villain who
the murder is man at least six
ty years of age, and will be remembered by
some of our citizens as former resident OF
this city in the early days of the war, and as
an Aminidab Sleek hypocrte, with a squeak
ing voice, and most detestable beggar. The
confession was brought about in the follow
ing manner: Suspicion was very strong
against the man, but there was no direct evil
dence in the case. The officer represented
to him that if he would confess the deed and
show whore the murdered vi Ia body lay, he
would assist him to escape to Canada and
give him half the reward. Evans tell into
the trap, confessed the crime, and went with
the officer and eight men to the woods and
pointed out the grave. The murdered girls

CoNcoRD, N H., November 0. The mys-
terry concerning the disappearance Of Georgia
Lowering of NORWOOD, girl thirteen years
of age, has been partially solved. Ii will be
remembered that she disappeared on Friday
Of week before last. She was last seen in
company with T. b. Evans, man some six
ty years of age, who said that he got Miss
Lowering to tend his snares ia the wood.
Since that day the girl has moi been seen
alive. Her absence caused great anxiety to
her relatives and friends. Hundreds of peo-
pie searched the woods for her, and near a
fence traces of her were discovered in the
shape of pieces of her dress, some of her hair
and her broken comb. This led TO the ar
rest Of Evans By Sheriff Drew. So firm was
the belief of the citizens that Evans had out.
