Review OF the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets

Provision Markets
INDIANAPOLIS Aug. ID.
There was fair degree Of activity in the general
markets to-day GroceFs begin to talk of business,
improving reports from the East that Rio
grades of coffee are weak in price In mild grades
there is a weaker feeling, but sales made at
rent quotations Moasses is steady former prices,
but the demand is light and confined to jobbing
ders. Syrups bought only in small let's, and buy
ers are cautious Rice is in fairly active demand and
holders keep quotations firm. The supply of spices
well in hand, and the demand, though not active is
sufficient TO prevent any decline The demand for raw
sugars is slow, but fair control of stock
and show no disposition to yield. Refined is fairly
active and prices show but little change. The egg
market is generally reported dull put prices remain
unchanged, and the is true of butter. We can
report very fair demand for all kinds of fruit and
vegetables, and in the main at steady prices We
hear stated that the crop of blackberres is likely
iall much below that of last year; Apples and to-
been considerable variation in the provision markets,
but latterly heavy decline caused by heavy
ceipts Of hogs. There is much uncertainty however
among operators who are not in position to learn
of the market There is constant changing of posi-
ton and buyers frequently become sellers, and the
latter change to buyers in short intervals. Hog
products are weak, in consequence Of the large
kets seem to be well supplied and is theory pretty
well maintained that heavier stocks have been ear
lieved short time ago.
GRAIN.
The local wheat market weak to-day. Sellers
exhibited more anxiety Arrivals of wheat increas
ing. Bidding on Change lacked animation and
tameness brooded over the market generally. The
Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat that
Chicago is l@l1sc lower. Seaboard somewhat easier
than on Saturday. Locally, markets easier and
bids lower, with disposition to sell. Receipts are
large. The very dry weather has hastened thIeshing
out of the stack farmers not being able to plow
therefore the free arrivals may not be expected to
continue at present rate for length of time. The
strngency in money markets with the free arrivals
causes pressure to sell. We quote:

Corn-Like wheat, is dull; sellers outnumber buy
ers, and offerings are very free of all grades Arri-
walls fair. Markets at other points easier.
