BosToN, May 14.-There has been little
change in the conditions OF business this
week. In the West, good healthy tone
In trade continues, and considering the
cold and wet weather, SO generally pre-
vailing throughout the north and west,
the business the past three weeks. has
been satisfactory. The wholesale cloth
ing trade is excellent and far ahead of last
week. About the only local interest has
been the curtailment of the production of
leather in both Boston and New York, al
though this may stimulate the leather
market for while there Is one
problem which will soon be pressing for
solution; what Is to be done with the
hides 2 As long as they can be sold above
the price to curtail them they will be
equally plentiful. Nothing would be
more advantageous to the shoe manufac-
turer than an advance In the price OF
leather. Both are too low for the general
good. There has been a very good de-
mand for boots and shoes this week; many
factories have from thirty to ninety days
work ahead. but the trade Is unevenly
distributed. Those who do distinctly
Southern business are selling less, and
jobbers are more inclined To buy on the
installment plan instead of buying liber-
ally at tie start as heretofore. This ne
cessitates manufacturers to keep great
force Of help on hand.
