The SHOE TRADE.
A Banner Year for Lynn, the
Queen Shoe City.
Brockton and HayerhilI Show Slight
Falling Off in Product.
New York and Brooklyn Preparing for
Record Year.

Boston. Jan. 6-The Shoe Retailer
published in Boston. presents, tooaS' d
review of the shoe trade for the past
year received from its correspondents
located at the more important Shoe
manufa curing centers throughout the
country. The year 1903 was a banner
wear for the industry in Lynn, the
greatest of shoe manufacturing cities.
I.oots and shoes to the value OF va
600 900 were produced from no manu-
featuring houses. Twenty-Five manu-
facturers did q business during the
wear amounting to at least $i0.TO.Oo
The 800 or more concerns in that city
connected with the shoemaking and
tributary trades are credited with hay
ing done $35, 900. 900 worth of business
during 1903 This Is by far the larg-
est amount Of business ever credited TO
Lynn In one year.
The Brockton shoe shipments Tor
1903 aggregated $50, 1856 cases. This is a
slight falling off. Among the Brock
ton firms, factory enlargements have
not been infrequent.
The IIaverhill output OF footwear
was the third largest in the history OF
the city The forwardings for the past
wear showed the total of 4i4,356 cases
Notwithstanding the slight falling on
this year as against last year. the
showing Is regarded as a remarkable
one. in view of labor troubles and DIS
puted price lists. The amount of th'
business is estimated as being close u
34O. Op0. 900.
In the work rooms of the New Yorl
and Brooklyn factories preparation
are being made for one of the larges
seasons In their history.
Reports from Rochester N. T.. shoV
that the city is progressing as a sho
center During the year there was al
increase of nearly 90 per cent. in tn
sale OF Rochester made shoes. A sue
cessful, though not rs profitable yea
as last. was predicted by the leadin
manufacturers.
Chicago manufacturers also look for
