Boston Boot and Shoe Market.
THURSDAY. October l.

.
The shipments of boots and shoes from this mar
ket to places outside of New England for the past
week have been 81, 100 cases, against 3,l05 cases
for the corresponding week last year.
Total shipments for the first six months of the
year, $50 800 cases. against 02l 413 cases tor same
period last year
The shipments from Lynn for the week have been
4245 cases. against 5OSo cases for the week last
year.
The shipments from IIayerhill for the week have
been 246 cases against 1903 cases for the CORES
ponding week last year.
There is a gradual stacking up of work in most
OF the boot and shoe towns, although there are
some coming forward and manufacturers are still
cutting sut some heavy work. There seems to be q
good prospect that small orders will be received
quite late in the season, stocks are sold up SO
closely and purchases made in such small quanti-
ties that in sections where there is good demaud
buyers are ordering a few days supply at time.
Pegged work of the coarse goods is more wanted,
and manufacturers of this description Of goods,
whether adapted to mems women's wear, are
doing fair business for the season. The Southern
demand continues quite up to that of average sea
sons, and certain lines Of goods are in good re.
quest, but there other descriptions Of goods
that are not selling rapidly, and as rule buyers
want fresh goods made to order, rather than work
which is in stock. Manufacturers Of mems Slip
pers are making some preparations for the season
but they are proceeding cautiously. New England
trade is improving and certain lines of mems hea.
Wy work Is in good demand.

New York, Oct. 2. A special to the Post,
from Washington, says:
"a member of the Cabinet is credited with
saying he is satisfied, after talking with the
President. that the latter has no intention OF
being candidate for third term, and at the
proper time will indicate his purpose to de-
cline further political honors. 1t is not i'm
probable that the southern convention of the
third term, to meet in Chattanooga during
the present month, will be greeted with an
authoritative declaration of the Presidents
views"

Department Of Justice,
Washington, ID. c.,
September 80.
Sir:-I would suggest that at those points
where I. >. troops are or may be stationed
in your district, some prudent and fearless
person, in whose judgment you have conf
dence and whom the people respect, may be
appointed as deputy marshals, to act at once
in the arrest of persons committing outrages
in the vicinity, so that it may mol be necessa-
~ in such cases to send for you before the
| troops can be used for the purpose of arrest
ing those who are guilty of violating the laws
of the L. S. This, of course, will not be
necessary where you are easily accessible,
but where the troops are placed at remote
points, before the necessary communications
as to the crimes committed can be made, the
offenders, as a general rule, have an oppor-
tunity to escape. You will give the deputies
the necessary instructions as to procuring
warrants, and need not repeat that it is
important that you should delegate tins power
to none but careful and responsible per-
sons"
(Signed) Very Respectfully,
George H. Williams,
Attorney General.
