Shoe Inau.try "at Sem,

Boston, Sept. 3.-The widespread
agitation against the high cost OF shoes
has led to further complications in the
local market. For the time being all
branches of the industry are at sea. a
condition which the shoe and Leather
Reporter believes will result in curtail-
ing operations just at the time when
more intensive production Is necessary
to balance the extraordinary demand.
Jobbers report that they have no diff
Guilty in selling top grades. but the de-
mand for medium and cheap shoes is
below normal.
While the leather market looks rather
tame there are no evidences of weak
ness except for Instances here and there
of spectators who attempted to take
ADVANTAGE of an excited market and
now find themselves in possible danger
of losing money.
Tanners are inclined to welcome a
breathing spell which will enable them
to catch up with old orders. The export
outlook and the small stocks Of leather
held against commitments do not favor
any return to lower prices, II is said

Rush of Buyer. Expected.

Information received in many quarters
of the wholesale apparel market indi-
Gates that this city will witness an in
fiux from all sections of the country
during September of buyers who are re-
turning here to secure goods for filing
in purposes.
Buying by many of the retailers
during the regular season was rather
limited on account of the uncertain con-
ditions and II Is said that those mer-
chants who bought conservatively now
are running short of goods.
A survey of the New York hotels made
by the Associated Dress Industries of
America has brought forth the fact that
more reservations have been and are
being made by the retail buyers in all
sections of the country for their Septem-
Der trip than ever before.
