REVIEW OF THE HOME MARKETS
wEEKLY REVIEW OF THE INDIANAPOLIS
X

hhOhEohLE mAhhblos
MONDAY EVENING, November 8.
The attention of the Board OF Trade was oc-
cupied in making arrangements for the dedica-
ton of the New Chamber of Commerce, which
is now not far OF. Committees were appointed
and the prospects are favorable to q great time.
A change has taken place in the proprietorship
of Greene's Price Current, that gentleman hav-
ing sold to J. Barnard. secretary of the Board of
Trade. AR. Ssreene will undertake a larger en-
terprise in the interest OF the city. Not much
was lone in the way Of trade and sales were
light at the prices OF last week, Dry goods are
moving fairly considering the nl;ldheSs of the
season. The dizziness in cofees i'm the Eastern
markets continues although there Is reported
a better feeling this morning than for a week
past. Prices are not SO firm, not because OF ac-
a better trade spring up prices would be firm
again and perhaps higher. Sugars are without
new features The dizziness and weakness con-
tinue and there Is little doing. Our quotations
are about as heretofore. SyrapS are YER quiet.
Teas meet with fair inquiry. Coil oil active and
unchanged. Trade has been light all the past
week and is likely to be so until collections are
better. By "A late circular from Il. I. Rabbit he
reSeinds certain retractioDs contained in a card
of October 10 and places prices of soap as before.
See reduced quotations TO lO9l0%c as hereto ore.
The following are the reported sales: 50 barrels
White Rose -four at So; lOU do at IS 80: l car old
corn at lie; IL cars high mixed new corn at Gle;
1 car white corn at Sic; 5 cars No. 2 white corn
at 6.c; ) cars high mixed corn at &c; 2 cars
amber wheat at 81 o.; lD barrels flour p. l.; IS
tierces lard for November at l2Ac.
Quotations are gwen TOR the buying prices OF
grain and produce, and the selling prices for
Hour and other m~erchandise.l

INFORMATION WANTED.
VIII the County Commissioners Ex
plain?

A few days ago we took up the
paper containing the recent Com
missioners report of the Receipts
and Expenditures of the County,
and examined it more critically than
we had previously done. 1t had
come to US endorsed as correct by
the County Commissioners and also
by the Examining Committee, and
accepting it as such we had not pre-
viously subjected it to any analysis.
But the first matter analysed, con-
vinced us that there was something
in the report which needed explain
alton, and we accordingly lay before
our readers the result of our resear-
ches.
+ Commencing with the County
fund we find that in its itemized ac-
count it is credited with an expendi-
ture of $31, 1928, which upon foot
ing up the items given is shown cor
rect. Turning then to the general
statement wherein each fund is
charged with the amount it received
and credited with its expenditures,
we find the County fund is charged
with receiving $52,856.12 and cred
tied with expenditures amounting
to $49, 1892. Here is evidently a
mistake or something worse. The
amounts in the itemized account
and the aggregate account should
agree but here is a difference of $I8,-
033.99 to be accounted for, and must
be accounted in some way. Now,
we are willing to be charitable and
suppose that some item has been
omitted from the itemized account.
but if so it should be stated and the
matter cleared up. Looking over
the account again, we find there is
not, in the itemized statement, any
account made of the amount of State
taxes paid. This is probably en-
braced in the general statement,and
yet will hardly account for the entire
difference. If it does it should be so
set forth, and one account made to
agree with the other, or otherwise
they cannot escape suspicion.
After discovering this apparent
discrepancy, we were naturally anx-
ious to see whether there were anv
more statements which did not agree
and pursued our investigations. We
took up the Bridge fund and found
that in the general statement it was
credited with receiving $2O,525.O3,
and credited with expending $I9,-
1882. In the itemized statement.
however, the items given foot up
only $5,244,S4. True, there is a
blank left opposite jackson town
