Boston Boot and Shoe Market.

WEDNESDAY, July 30.
The shipments of Boots and Shoes from this mar
ket TO places outside OF New England, for the past
week. comprise 20 32 cases, against ii e3 cases for
the same week last year.
Total shipments since January |, 667 IL cases
against 40 5l9 cases for the same period last year
The shipment of shoes from Lynn for the past
week nave been 32l1 cases, against ;Isi3 cases for
the same week last year.
The shipments from Haverhill for tie week have
been PIG cases, against :}0l2 cases for the same
week last year.
The volume of trade in boots and shoes continues
TO enlarge week by week, say at the rate of 10 900
per week for the past fortnight The general state
OF the market is Que of quietness and it certainly
maniiests much less activity than WAS looked for
lew weeks since. The inferior markets, however
rs we have had frequent occasion to remark, are
not overweighted with any description OF goods in
the line of boots and shoes and their stock heavy
goods Is less than it was at the corresponding pc.
iod OF any previous wear. On the other hand ii is
noteworthy fact that mauufactu rers have
neen very cautious not to produce goods largely,
II at all iii advance of orders consequently the out
look Is by no means dlscouraging, especially as re-
CARDS mems boots and brogans. As to prices, we
are inclined TO think that they have ached the
point at which further reduction would place an in
terdict on this brauch of our manufacturing indus
try. In Lynn and Haverhil more activity is OBJ.
servable, and decidedly better tone prevades
both of these important markets.
