BOSTON BOOT AND SHOE MARKETING Boot and
Shoe market begins to look little encouraging
far sales concerned The past week has been the
most active one for long time. Buyers numerous
from all POINTS South and West and purchases have
made quite freely during the week As regards prices
however there is no improvement Goods selling at
cost and under, and the prospect of immediate i'm
provemen is not promising dealers still
ous to reduce their stocks 1t looks that merchants
from the South and West far have been operating with
100 much caution but they may possibly make up for it
by purchasing freely the balance of the season
frces are certainly low enough to induce free purchases
and probably buyers will not be able to purchase on
Iayoragle Terms Tor long time. At present prices Of
Hides Leather cannot be tanned and sold excep at loss
Curriers' have been doing an improbable business for
some tme and in fact almost every description of Leath
selling at less than the of production while for
Boots and Shoes manufacturers scarcely realize
for the most desirable goods 1t would appear by this
comparison that the bottom of the and Shoe market
had been touched and that the buyers now
freely at the present low prices likely make good
bargains.


Manufacturers are connng their operations mostly IN
orders, and stock begin feel nhu-

Wool forced the price to point which left very little
margin, but manufacturers supplied themselves quite
literally early in the with the fine grades of both
foreign and domestic they have been able to limit thei
purchases for months past, which, in connection
with the large quantities forced of at auction has brought
about reaction. Holders of wool have in consequence
