Sealskin Sacques.

There arc sealskins and sealskins.
The best, as almost every one knows,
are the Alaska skins, carefully selected
and London7dyed. 81 These cost to i'm
port from $40 to $50 each. The infe-
rior Alaska skins, technically known as
ssculls,' are mixed in with Copper
Island, Victoria and Lobos skins, and
these have been imported as low as
from S13 to $16 a skim -Four skins are
required for a. sacdue of fair size,
although for small sizes, three and d
half will be sufficient. Twenty-Five
dollars. is the usual charge for making

figures will enable any one to arrive at

lovely women. Men with a large family

sealskin industry, but they Twill find

year, which again was much below tn at
of the previous season; 50 that. the
prospect for a material advance in q few
years is excellent. Indeed, The demand
for sealskns has become SO great that

believe that the time fis not far distant

meantime English manufacturers have
pushed invention almost to the verge of
possibility in-devising substitutes and
limitations. 8 Fhe most elostly of these

couhterfeit, and are gradually coming
into use by reason rather of their-i in

INDIANAPOLIS. March 81.
TODAY closes a week in which trade has been
duh and unsatisfactory, unreasonable weather
acting as incumbrance on business, and there
is by no means that degree of activity which is
usually incident to this period, yet in some lead
ing departments trade is improving slightly
with the advance of the season. However
warm, cheerful weather is looked for soon and
with this win come, doubtless a lively trade. In
grocery circles the movement continues rather
slow. Sugars are reported eighth of
n cent higher East, but we make
no change in our quotations In coffee there has
Eeen little If e.y further increase in the distrhu
lion to the country, bnt there is n fair move
ment for this season of the year. and the tone of
market Ia firm and prices are unchanged. In
New York there is confident feeling, and in
the primary markets the tendency is favorable
for the holding interest in this country. The
stock in first hands March 16, at United
States ports 1873. 246 bags, against 1911 ,639
last year. rhe stock in second hands at four
ports March 13 was 225,075 bags, against 49,
G22 last year Produce men report a fair trade.
TIE egg market continued mnch the same as
noted in our last report; receipts fair: demand
light, as BUYERS still appear TO be impressed
with the belief that prices will go lower. Dealers
continue to renort that they have no difficulty
in disposing OF choice butter, Int that old stock
is almost unsaleable. Beans continue dull and
prices are weak Choice dried fruits firm at
prices quoted with an increasing demand. PO-
tatoes n fair iobhing demand, but round lots,
under the influence of increased receipts, are
weaker. Well informed dealers look for lower
prices within the next few weeks.
