FULL OF BOOTS.
■ DUNEDIN OVERSTOCKED. EFFECT OF DRY WEATHER. (liy Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") DUNEDIN, this day. Boot manufacturers in Dunedin are getting the minimum of pleasure out of the sunshiny weather that this district has enjoyed for the past fourteen months. It is affecting their trade seriously. The manager of one of the large factories said to-day: "Our warehouse is full of boots that we have no hope of quitting till next winter. We are keeping going with difficulty, mostly in making for ladies and fancy light boots." Another manager said: "There has been practically no demand this last winter for the strong boots that usually got off smartly. The weather has been so consistently fine that men are, in a manner of speaking, walking about without boots. Any old. pair serves the purpose. Meantime we have not reduced our hands; we are keeping them going in making up for next winter, but that is a long way ahead, and stock is accumulating fast. All this, however, relates to men's boots only. The demand for ladies' boots keeps up well, and that is a great help."
