Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets


Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 16
The general merchandise markets opened up
to-day fairly active for July. Yet a summer
quietude is noticeable in nearly ali departments.
While the oats and corn crops we're never more
promising. the quality and quantity of the wheat
crop is still so much in doubt as 10 give the
"bears" ground to operate on. The following is
clipped from the New York Evening Post OF the
14th:
"Messrs. J. A. Closer Il Co, reliable and
prominent house in the grain trade at Indanap-
OILS, writes under date of July II thar the wheat
in tile south half of the State of Indiana is now
In shock, and the thrashers are at work. The
yield is very Disappointing in most cases, and
the quality in some cases will suffer materially
by the black rust or scab which struck the wheat
during the harvest season. and has shrunRen the
perry very much. However, this is not unlVer-
sal. The north half of the State is not
yet harvested, but Will be in progress FROM now
during the next two weeks. The reports from
that section are favorable. but not much so as
two weeks ago. We are beginning to receive
few cars of wheat from Illinois and southern In
dlaua, but IL IL worth on orders that we are re-
eelving from to cents per bushel above New
York prices, therefore we do not see any chance
for Immediate shipment to the seaooard unless
prices are materially advanced or the West sub
mits to a further reduction. We do not think
the latter proposition would meet with much
favor"
The grocery market presents no new features.
of; prices unchanged, In fact there is no change
in prices of importaneel IN articles carried by
grocers. The produce markets are fairly active
and prices unchanged. There is a fair demand
for canded eggs, really choice butter and young
chickens. The supply OF berries was light to-
day. Apples and potatoes in large supply; prices
weak.

There is more frmness to the wheat market,
and local dealers are showing more interest in
the cereal and "A slight Improvement in prices is
