a gradual nrming up in many other direc-

WEATHER. IL loo roop'
As noted a week ago. the boot and shoe
trade is suffering from too much pleasant
weather. There have been slight rains out
over the state. but the weather has stu
been by far too pleasant for the good of the
trade. When ii Is remembered that in many
localities there has not been a rain of any
importance. until this week, since the mid
die of September, and that In addition the
weather has been very mild and pleasant
the only wonder Is that trade is really as
good as II Is at the present time. In spite
of all drawbacks there Is a fair movement
of goods in this line, but nothing like there
ought to be under more favorable CirCum'
stances.
1t is claimed that leather is looking W
somewhat and that the feeling is better
