MONEY AND THE MARKETS.
OFFICE or THE INDIANAPoLIs SENTINEL,

TUESDAY EVENING, September 5, 1876.
Business in the local money market is fairly
active, and the mercantile demand for cur
rency is percepubly on the increase, as the
season advances the volume OF the crop move
ment increases, and more money is neces-
sarily In demand The banks are meeting the
requirements OF business to the full extent Of
their abilities aud unexceptionable paper is
promptly placsd at 10 per cent, below which
we hear of no trans actions.
The close scrutiny practiced by the banks
necesssri places considerable paper in the
outside market, where transactions are re-
ported at from a to 2% per emit. month.
TIE market is largely supplied with Eastern
exchange, and the rate between banks is par,
Across the counter buyers are charged lie TO

City orders are quiet at 81 cents on the dol

The aggregate weight of the hogs received
since Match l, 1876 l. equal to l,679,o7 hogs OF
last years average weight. The shipments
were 6sl ,I25 hogs. against ~ hos The cor
responding time last year. The number OF
hogs left over for cits consum otlon aud pack
ing is SO, ainst 60, 5O4 same time last sea-
son.
The Lexington (Ky.) Press says: We under
stand that dealer in pork in Cincinnati has
made al engagement by which he binds
himself to deliver, early in the season, $40 600
pounds of gieen sides at cents per pound.
From this we can form some estimate of the
value OF hogs on foot In this section. PorK
men have maze a calculation, and say they
can not afford TO paw more than - so, or, at
farthest, "a 6 gross fo- the hogs delivered 10
Cincir natl. This would give the producer in
tn county about 81 or 81 rs. The corn crop
hi Sc n being one Of the most sbundsnt
that has ever been produced, Will gD verv far
toward reducing the price of the hog product,
and we shall not be at all surprised II hogs are
not sold before the season closes at less f1g-
ure than 81. For the last five years bacon and
lard have been held at such figures that per-
sons OF small means have been able to reach
prospect Of an early reduction TO reasonable
price.
THE PROVISION MARKET
within the past week has shown more
strength, and holders We re able TO establish an
advance. To-day the market was steady, clear
ribs being held at 81 sO,as, and ID. s. should-
ers at e14@65zc, with sales 1900 lbs at lattef
figures.

In reviewing the general merchandise mar

that dec ded i'm provementi In trade has been
experienced In almost every department. Toe
long season Ofquiet has passed, and merchants
have good reasons for Anticipating an
active fall trade. Merchants are ar

by indianapolis dealers earlier tnan
usual. The conservative policy pursued, hav-
Ing brought stocks down t. an unusually 10 "
point, making the purchase OF articles OF
pine necessity im0erative. The mar
keting of the early crops together with cattle
and hogs, has given farmers and the people
generally, the ability to ray for
goods, and the trade is there
fore In a highly satisfactory condition.
In every department lodi ,napolis merchants
have laid In stocks which are giving entire
satisfaction, and numerous instances are re-
ported OF merchants formerly purchasing In
more distant markets, who now buy their
entire stocks here while prices are as low,
variety, styles. quality satisfactory. the saving
In time is an item which the more IL is con-

Everything on Wheels.

We invite the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of Messrs. Milburn &
Hammell, Nos. 2ls and go Chestnut street,
St. Louis. This is undoubtedly the largest
firm Of the kind in the West, and their
business has been increasing 50 rapidly dur
ing the past year, that they were compelled
to remove from their inadequate quarters,
No. lis North Main street, to their commo-
dious building on Chestnut-imagine read
er, that you are now looking through this
vast building, so by $50 feet in ground d.
mensions, five stories high, and all connect
ed by one of the largest elevators now in
use; literally crowded with carr
iages, open buggies, rockaways, top
busgies, phaetons, hunting wagons,
trotting wagons, delivery wagons, market
wagons, hucksters' wagons, and last, but not
least, large stock of the celebrated Mil
burn farm wagons, which have long become
noted for being the best made in the United
States. TOgive our readers a knowledge of
the magnitude of the M'lburn Wagon Com
pany's new works at Toledo, Ohio, where
all these are made, we append the following:
Area of ground, 80 acres ground occu-
pied by main building, 26O n 365 it. >; square
feet OF floor in building, SIo,9S4 feet engine
power, $50 horse steam, 400 horse capac-
ity, 10000 wagons per annum. Our object,
however: IN writing this is not 80 much to
speak Of the merits of this large and sub
stantial firm as it is to tell our friends and
patrons the address of firm where they
can procure anything from a three-spring
wagon with two seats and mole for S1(O To
the nobbiest and most substantially con-
structed road wagons, ranging in prices
from Sis to 81 600. Their work cannot be
excelled, either in appearance or in integ-
rity of construction, and we have no hest
fancy in affirming that nowhere in the Uni
ted States can better work be found at more
popular prices than at Milburn & Ham
mell's, st. Louis, Mo.
