REVIEW OF THE HOME MARKETS.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE INDIANAPOLIS
WHOLESALE MARKETS.

~.
Since the report last week the turn has taken
place In wheat and the price may be considered
as the best 1t will be for some time to come. 1t
abundant and cheap. Corn is not materially
changed in price. The exhaustion of provi sions
and high price of hogs is an additional element
to keep corn at good figure. In many local.
tiles the drought has also cut down the crop
prospects slightly. SO that even the new corn
will not probably reduce the price below fair
rate for the producer. There has been fair
amount OF activity In tn grocery trade since the
last weekly review. There has been consider
able de nand for sugar, and although the trade

Rich Gold Mines i'm The Northern
Wilderness OF " iscONsin.

MILWAUKEE, Dec 1S.--About the
1st of November last two men
brought some quartz to the Office
of w. S Candee, banker, Of this
city, desiring to have it assayed.
It was forwarded to New York, and
assayed at the surprising rate of
S1,7O0 per ton The men decline
to say exactly where they got the
quartz, but assert positively that
they got it in the northern wilder
ness of Wisconsin. Well informed
men fix the place on the northern
boundary Of the State, in Oconto.
It is we'll known that a little over e
year ago some persons in that lie
gion brought in ores bearing strong
indications of gold. A second lot
was brought in and an essay OBJ
tanned, but the result was never
made public
The prospecting parties inmedi-
ately afterward secured several
tracks of land lying in what is
supposed to be the places where
the ores were found. Il is said
thot these lands lie on the divide
between the Boise Brule river and
Pine river, which would bring it in
the neighborhood of the forty sec
ond tier of towns north and prob
iy between ranges ten and clever
east. This location also CORE
spends with an intimation which
has been made by the geologists
that there is lead Of rocks witt
gold bearing chan acteristics ex
tending from tie upper peninsult
of Michigan through the northern
portion of Wisconsin toward thu
Mississippi river.

Statistics OfPOrk Packing.

CINCINNATI, December 1.-THE
Cincinnati Price Current, the leading
authority ON hog-packing statistics,
will publish tomorrow morniug
very full preliminary report of pork
packing in the West. Reports have
been received from pointswhich pack
ed last season nine -tenths of all pack
ed at interior points. The aggregate
packing to date ranging from the 9th
to the 10th of December. at 279 points,
is given at / 100000 head, against l.
097 900 last season, an increase of 93,-
900. These points packed last season
a total of l ,So7 600 out of 1854 ,00O,th
whole number packed at interior
points during the season of 1884.
The average weights indicates fall
ing off of about q pounds per head,
or ten per cent. from last season, with
fully corresponding decrease in the
yield of lard. No estimates are given
for the season, as it is designed to fur
nish such two weeks later, when such
estimates can be more satisfactorily
and reliably calculated. The packing
at the six principal cities is given 1at
100000 to date, against 2,07O, 900 last
year. Interior points not heard from
hacked last season 196,954 Sheuid
these points show a corresponding in
crease this season the total packing at
interior points iG numbers is ], ,4OO, ,OOO'
and including the six leading cities

The Independents article, accusing
William Baxter of having acted with
duplicity, in the notice of additional
testimony to be taken, is sufficiently
answered by L. D. Stubs, Mr.. Bax-
ters attorney, in Thursdays issue of
the Independent. The course pur-
sued by Mr.. Stubs, is, he thinks,
proper and right, and he adopted it
without consulting with Mr.. Baxter
who, we are authorized to say, knew
nothing about the course adopted by
Mr.. Stubs, and hence could not have
advised it. If, however, the Inde-
pendent is sincere in its declaration
that it does not wish to "mystify and
cover up the facts why should it
make the objection to having addi-
tional testimony taken touching an
other polling precinct in the city?
Does it not look extremely cheeky
on the part Of. the Independent to
grumble about increasing 'the expen-
ses" by further inquiry? 1t appears
to us as though the plea made by these
faithful journalists" as they hatter-
ingly style themselves, that they
wanted ''to obtain ALL the facts and
lay them before the interested pub
lie" has a smack Of hypocrisy about it
that looks very much as if the faith
full managers of that concern had
excavated pit for William Baxter,
and had tumbled into it themselves.

BY unrelenting prosecutions Of
cruel owners, Mr. Henry Bergh
has done much to ameliorate The
condition Of dumb animals in this
State. In the course of his con
stant search for instances Of the
abuse OF brutes, he has frequently
come upon cases of inhuman
treatment of children by parents,
or those clad with parental author
ity. Il few months ago he rescued
parentless little girl from aggra
vated seyitude, and caused her
1,nfeeling task mistress, to whom
she had been incautiously linden
tured by the Commissioners of
Charities and Correction, to be i'm
prisoned. To secure repetitions of
this success, Mr. Bergh las drawn
a number Of powerful gentlemen
into a Society for The Prevention
of Cruelty to Children whose
annual meeting takes place on the
2Sth of December. It's agents will
traverse the city, and with partic
nlar frequency its porest and most
densely populated quarters, where
strong drink wars incessently with
the good impulses of the human
heart, seeking the oppressors OF
children, that they may bring them
within the grasp of the Judiciary.

Mr.. w. b. Enyert hands us the
following obituary item:
On last Thursday evening. ct
eight o'clock, our fellnw citizen,
Daniel Partridge, died after an i'll
ness Of some six hours. He WAS
born in the year 1914, in the coun
ty of Langford, Ireland. When
quite young he enigra;ed to this
country, stopping in Canada a
short time, soon after making Now
York city his home He resided in
Brooklon, New York, several years,
where many of his relatives and
friends still reside. He came West
and settled in Richmond, where,
for time, he carried on the tail
oring business. He came to Jack
sonburg in 1852. where he also
opened in his trade. He WAS
something of politician, life long
Democrat, and a Roman Catholic
in religion. He served term of
four years as Justice Of the Peace
here, and resigned his office q
short time previous to the late fall
election He WAS q kind husband
and a good provider. He leaves a
wife and four children to mourn
his loss. He never TUNED a human
being from his dor that was in
want of food or lodging He had
his weakness, Notwithstanding his
many good traits. Tor the past
year he has complained of q desease
of the brain, and being of a scrofu>
lus nature, he frequently took
arsenic as a tonic, in doses SUI
ficient to kill three or four persons
unaccustomed to it's use. An
overdose was the immediate cause
of his sudden death. His funeral
took plac from his residence on last
Saturday afternoon, and was at
tended by a large concourse Of
his neighbors and acquaintances.-

In the House, on the 10Th, in con-
nection with the paragraph tor sta
tionery and newspapers for the Senate,
Mr.. Cox asked Mr.. Garfield why it
was that at the end Of last session he
said he was obliged to the House for
the confidence manifested in the Com
mittee on Appropriations, and that
the appropriations for the year were
less by s25, 100000 than for the pre-
vious year. Was that statement cor
rect?
Mr.. Garfeld-Yes.
Mr.. Cox-There is no mistake
about it?
Mr.. Gar6eld-No, sir.
Mr.. Cox-There is no little differ
ence of ten or fifteen million dollars?
Mr.. Garfeld-No, sir.
Mr.. Cox-That will be developed
in the course of time.
Mr.. Garfeld-The gentleman will
find that my remarks on that occa-
sion have been fully borne out-more
fully than then hoped
A question having been raised in
regard to the item for Capital police,
Mr.. Garfield stated that, in view Of
the political change which would take
place in the organization Of the House
next Congress, the Committee on APP
preparations regarded it as somewhat
indecorus to inaugurate changes
which would mainly refer to the next
House.
Mr.. Wilson. Of Indiana, did not
wish to recognize the fact that, be-
cause there was to be change in the
majority of the House, there should
not, therefore, be diminution of ex-
penses, if such diminution were prop
er in itself.
Mr.. Garfield agreed with that sug-
gestion, but still thought it matter
of courtesy toward those who would
soon have the burden Of respectability
thrown upon them, to let them make
