dealers of this Republic than ever before they
are learning the wisdom of short credits
of not overstocking, of discountng their
purchases and making all there is in it, of
keeping stock bright, fresh and always attrac
tive they can no longer be overcharged, as the
drummer and the commercial paper are making

walton of the business interests of this country
and bring them safely through much danger.
This cltys trade has gradually fought its way
into the territory claimed in fee simple in for
mer years by rivals. With an active turn in the
markets, indianapolis will get more than its
proportonate share of the benefit arising there
form. But the quality of goods offered, the
high standing Of the mercantile establishments
of indianapolis, are known and recog-
nized by the trade throughout this
and adjoining States Locally prices
are in the main steady. Eggs are strong at quo
tations given receipts of butter still liberal;
prices weak. There promises to be a good
Thanksgiving demand for poultry, and the
weather is favorable to the market. The coffee
market is strong, especially for Rios. The sta
tstical position at Rio continues to improve,
that is the receipts last week show quite a fall
ing off as compared with the previous week, the
the average having been a triae over 10, 300 bags
per diem; the purchases for both this country
and Europe have been large enough to more
than absorb the arrivals and reduce stocks.
Public cables do not quote any change in price.
The visible supply for this country continues

Local dealers report a slight improvement in the
country demand, the steadiness of this market
having inspired buyers with rather more conf

to hand rather more freely this week. Sugars
unchanged in price but moving more freely.
