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

MONDAY EVENING, October 5. q
The general feeling on the Board of Trade was
bordering on depression. Business men are
making up their minds to a dull winters work,
the signs are undesirable. Not panic as last
year. but slow-that is the word-slow trade.
The wheat market is inevitably dead. The
world Is gutted with wheat, the farmers are
easy in money matters, they can hold and Vii
in on expenses and get ready for small margins
Merchants are having fair, regular and living
trade and so the season will probably cOntin ne.
A careful observer and large grocer says: The
past we ek has been one OF activity with whole
sale groeers. Merchants from all parts OF the
country tributary TO indianapolis came IN. made
the acquaintance of merchants here. or re-
neWed old friendships, bought a few goods and
then were of to the Exposition and Fair.
To-day quiet again reigns and business Is light.
Prices on all lead ne articles are well sustained.
Coffees have been and are firmly held and choice
grades are high, bringing 2lLc gold in New
York. The range of the market is ID to PIG
eola Sugars were weaker about the middle Of
last week ard were sold at &c or ON the
basis of lO5zc for a. To-day the market is firm
and &c higher, being lie for "A, Eastern prices
of course. Cheese grow stronger in price and
advances may be continuously looked for here
after for some months. Syrups dull Oil active
and unchanged. The sales recorded were 400

corn high mixed, at 70; 20 barrels low grade

Prof. Wilder, OF Cornell University,
gives the following short rules for action
In case of accident, which it will be found
useful to preserve and remember: For
dnss in eyes avoid rubbing; dash water
into them; remove cinders, ETC., with
the round point of lead pencil. Remove
matter from the ear by tepid water;
never put a hard instrument into the
ear. If an artery is cut, compress
above the wound if a. vein is cut COM
press below. If choked at on all tours
and cough. For slight burns, dip the
part in cold water; if the skin is destroy
ed, cover with varnish. Smother a fire
with carpets, etc. /; water will often
spread burning OIL, and increase Danger.
Before passing through smoke, take a
full breath then stoop low; but if carbo-
mic acid gas is susrectected, walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your
mouth Is sore; enlarge the wound. or
better cut out the part without delay !;
hold the wounded part as long as can be
borne to hot coal or end of cigar. In
ease Of poisoning excite vomiting by
tickling the throat, or by warm water
and mustard. lin water float on the
back, with the nose and mouth project
ing. E appoplexy. raise the head and
body; for iainting, lay the ierson fat.

The Drivers Story.

''Ah. sir, this is going to be a hard
winter" said a great, bury car driver
to us the other evening; land l saw yes
terday what such as you don't see very
often, and hardly believe when its told
to ye. One of the men that drove on
this line nigh three years sent his little
gal to ask me to come and see him, and
| I laid off last evening and went.
Nov [ heard how ne was sick with
consumption. but I didn't know how sick
until | got there's
GAS sure as live, sir there was that
fellow what one year ago was as strong
and hearty young man as you ever saw,
with legs no bigger than my wrist-and
him lyin' on the floor and heavin' and
choking all day and night.
"He told me be hadn't sent for me till
he had to, and Oh locking round, sir, L
saw there wasn't any furniture lett; and
altho' year ago he had his little room
fitted up comfortable like, he had sold
even the straw ia the tick and was a ly-
in on the floor. L wouldn't care to live.
JIM said he (speakin' very hoarse and
troublesome-like), but for my poor wife
and children; for although am only In
their way I like to see 'em round, ard |
shan't trouble EN- much longer And
here he looked at his wife and smiled,
when she cum up and, takin hold Of his
hand, told him not to talk like that but
to pluck up hope for her sake and the
little ones.
''By-and by, after looking at her and
then round the room at the children, his
lip commenced to tremble and the tears
to fill his eyes. in spite OF his tryin' to
smile; and altho' | think I'm as hard
hearted as any man, | couldn't stand it
and just burst out cryin'.
well, it seems he hadn't had any
ching to eat that day, so | gave him 50
