factories in Lynn, now driven with work and
teemlng with life and activity, incident to the
opening OF the spring trade deveopeS the fact
that this city still takes the lead in the manu-
tacture of boots and shoes, and stands pre-
emnently at the head of the list. Lynn is now
IN the mldSt of its busy season, and orders from
the south and west are coming in briskIy The
sales in January footed up a larger aggregate
tnau last year in the corresponding month, and
there are large number of BUYERS, from remote
sections, now prospecting and making their
selections. Some new firms have been added to
the large list tue past year, and several new
factories, large and convenient, both OF wood
and brick, have been erected to accommodate
the increasing business. There have been some
new styles oil goods introduced this season, but
The general character of the work is the same as
last year. There has never been time when
goods were offered to the trade so near the cost
of production as the present, and in many in
stances manufacturers only realize acommisSion
instead of a profit SO keen is the competition.
There have been but very few failures the past
year amongst the Lynn manufacturers. The
losses by the Chicago fire were comparatively
snail, and large quantities Of goods are nov
being shipped to that city.
