Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 20.
Trade is rather slow, was the common remark
IN mercantile circles to-day, unreasonable wea-
ther and the rain conducting to such result
and except in holiday goods the belief is becom
ing prevalent that business is to be tame for the
remainder of the year, unless there should be
a strong bull movement in grain, which would
be apt to give more activity to trade. We find
that a majority OF the wholesale men think that
In volume their trade will run ahead OF that of
1882. Their margins have not been SO large as
then, yet, TO Offset this, they express the opinion
that fewer bad debts have been made than last
year. Dry goods men say that their trade, year
nv year, is steadily growing, ana even now trade
Ia fair. While orders are mostly small, the ag-
gregate volume OF business is very satisfactory,
particular time. Sugars are again the sick
liet. Coffee is still reported firm, but prices re-
main unchanged Corn syrups weak and
lower. Private advices from New Orleans report
molasses hrmer. Produce men report very fair
trade In all the leading articles, including but
Ter, eggs, cheese and dressed poultry at prices
quoted. Potatoes, owing to large receipts and a
supply in excess OF the demand, are dull and
while there is an increasing demand for green
apples, prices are no better Beans continue to
come forward freely, and prices are weak In
consequence.

the local grain market to-day. Attendance on

wheat simply noting that it is ia fair request,

How Did the handkerchief Get Thereq

The great Robert HOudin went by roval
command to Saint Cloud to give a show
before Louis Philippe and his family, In
the course OF this show he borrowed six
handkerchiefs from the audience. Then
various members of the audience wrote
down on slips OF paper the names of places
whittier they would like the handkerchief
to be transported. This done, the con-
iurer asked the King to choose three of
these slips at random, and from the three
to select the place he preferred. "COme,"
said Louis Philippe, ''let us see what
is on this Slip" l should like them to be
| found under one of the candlesticks on
the mantelpiece. "That is too easy for a
wizard; let us try again." l should like
them to be found on the dome of the In
valides. THAT is too far: not for the
handkerchiefs, but for us. All! YOU will.
| fear, find 1t difficult to comply with the
request on the last Slip" The request
was that the handkerchiefs should be
found in the box of the last orange tree
on the right hand of the avenue at st.
Cloud.
The conjurer expressed his readiness to
comply with the request, and the King
Immediately sent off a party of men to
keep guard over the orange tree. The
cOnjurer put the handkerchiefs under a
bell of thick glass, waved his hand, took
up the bell, and showed a white dove in
place of the handkerchief. Then the
King, with a skeptical smile. sent orders
to the head gardener to open the box of
the orange tree chosen, and to bring
whatever he might find there Isl toute-
fOis lily trouve quelque chose" This was
done, and presently there was brought
in an iron Golfer covered with rust,
"Well," cried the King, ''here we have
| Golfer. Are the handkerchief in it
Yes, SIRE" replied Robert HOudin, ''they
have been there long time" "a long
time, when it was only a quarter of an
hour since they were given to you?'
"What, sire, would be the use of magic if
it could not perform impossible feats {?
Your Majesty Will be surprised when |
prove to you that the Golfer and its con-
tents have been in the box of the orange
tree for sixty years."

needed to open the box, and Robert Hou-
din asked him to take the key which
was hung by ribbon around the white
doves neck. This was key as rusty as
the cOfer which it opened, and the first
thing found in the Golfer was parchment
bearing these words; To-day, June 6,
1856. This iron Golfer, holding six hand
kerchiefs, has been placed amid the roots
of an orange tree by me. Balsamo.

plishment of magical feat which will be
done this day sixty years before Louis

low the parchment lay a packet sealed
with Cagllostr0's seal, which was well
known to the King, and in the packet
were the six borrowed handkerchief.
