Review OF the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets

Review OF the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets.
INDIANAPoLIs, July IA
The usual summer-like quietude is the chief
characteristic of the general merchandise mar
kets, and the present tameness is expected to
continue until early August. An early fall trade
of n satisfactory character Is expected, the ex-
pectation being based ON the crop prospects dur
ing the prevailing dizziness, Many OF the travel
ing statesmen are taking their semi-annual vaea-
lion. The buyers of the dry goods and boot and
shoe houses will go East this week to make fall
purchases. The Boston Journal of the 18th
says OF the dry goods market: while we cannot
report any general activity can see some i'm
provement, and expect a gradual increase from
this time forward Agents have published new
price lists on cotton flannels, which are from
u to cent per yard lower than last year. and
the trade are operating with more confidence.
So far, however, most of the orders for these
staple goods have been from large Western job
bers, who are anxious to get their supplies as
early as possible Another important movement
has been IN the opening OF dark prints at Gig
cents per yard. At this price are INCLUDED the
COcheeo, Pacific and Manchester fancies, which
with a few others, are acknow edged be the
leading brands in the market. Fun lines of sam
lles are shown by the agents of the COcheeo and
Pacific Mills, and orders TO fair extent have
been secured, though 1t is rather early for any

Aldermen, Show Your Colors.

Editor San Antonio Light.
SAN ANTONIO, November I'm reading
yesterdays issue of the LIGHT, we see that
the Board OF Health, in their report on sani-
tary matters, seem TO have imbibed Alderman
Lockwood's idea of polluting our river to the
detriment OF more than two thirds of the popu-
lation of San Antonio. 1t does seem that they
have lent one eye on this all important sub
ject." They cannot see with their other eye
that the best and cheapest way to get rid Of
the mud is to cart it outside of the city where it
cannot be hauled back again.
No unbiased man can come to any other
conclusion. Wake up, Aldermen; two-thirds
Of the city request you to show your colors on
this all important subject. Don't allow your
selves to be lulled into security by a very small
minority. MANY CITIZENS.

The sidewalks on St. Mary's street, between
Houston street and the Rincon school, are in
a bad condition, in consequence of the rain,
and certainly good sidewalk is needed to &C.
commodate the numerous pedestrians who
pass there. One of the inhabitants had a
bad sidewalk and attempted to improve it by
dumping quantity Of white earth on the
walk. The rain saturated it, and made it so
nasty and slippery that citizens who had to
pass through it had to wade through several
inches Of white mortar at the risk Of falling
into it. 1t is satisfactory to know that the
City Council propose to take action to remedy
the condition Of these sidewalks.
