THE BOOT TRADE.
EFFECT OF FINE WEATHER,
(special to "the pbess") DUNEDIN, September 19. Boot manufacturers in Dunedin are getting the minimum of pleasure out of the sunshiny this district has enjoyed for the past fourteen months. It is affecting their trad* seriously. The manager of one large factory 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' wear and fancy light boots."
Another manager replied: "There has been practically no demand this last winter for strong boots that usually go off smartly. The weather had been so consistently fine that men v are, in a maner of speaking, walking about without boots. Any old pair serves the purpose. In the 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, related to men's boots only, Tho demand for ladies' boots keeps up well, and that is a great help.
