A Gradual Improvement in Trade Generally
Noticeable.

A Gradual Improvement in Trade Generally
Noticeable.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 10.
Trade is better, was the common remark in
merchandise circles to-day, and there is a grow
ing feeling that the dullest times have been
passed. Last years indebtedness is being
paid quite satisfactorily and there is belief
shat business is on n healthier basis than at tho
opening Of the year 1888. Everybody is hopeful
but inclined to strike out cautiously. The pro-
duce markets are quite active. Poultry both
live and dressed, in small supply, and prices tend
higher. Strictly fresh eggs for the same reason
held with more firmness. Held eggs in light de
mGnd and very dull; holders are all anxious to
close out Butter is generally reported dull
particularly as regards ordinary country stock.
Potatoes continue very dull, with but little pros
peet of any Improvement az the country is full
of them. ColTees continue strong at the recent
advance. Sugars continue ofish, notwithstand
ing they are lower than at any time since the
-9ar. Choice mola held firmly, but tho lower
istades are dull.
GRAIN.
Wheat corn and oats are frmer to-day with
an active demand. Receipts continue remarka
bly, light. The Board of Trade Price Current
says Of Wheat In sympathy with higher mar
kets at Other points loea! quotations are firmer.
Under light rec>ipts tho demand is good, but
