many shares were the highest attained for o long
time past, and the dealings were attended with
confidence. Western Union and Pacific Mail, as
usual of late, monopolized the chief specu-

notable feature was the buying of West

majority Of the brokers had orders for one or
two hundred shares. The strength of the stock
stockholders was steadily increasing, and that

Fall Trade in Prospect.
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug 5.
The most chronic growler cannot fail to see
that there are cheering evidences of improve
ment III business the last few days and that con
fidsnce is gradually being restored While in
legitimate trade there has been no marked i'm
provement in prices there has been more
activity in many departments, The crops are
still the leading subjects Of interest. Their
abundance is great and the amount Of freight
they win furnish to the railroads for transper-
tation is an element Of strength. The specu-
lators ara discounting the effects Of profits to be
realized from this source. Gold has begun to
move toward this country from abroad; inn
portant shipments having already been made
and others about to be made. These are not on
account Of the crops as many have sHrmised but
are on account Of investments in American
securities. Nevertheless the exports Of bread
stnfIa have been larger, and the movement
in whont and petroleum has suffered no decline
AS soon as the new cotton crop is ready for
market the exports Of this commodity will ma
torially increase The present shipments of
gold bullion being Tor investment in securities

tides, which are usually very hign
at this season of the year, helped
by a raging snow-storm and a high
northeast wind, have swollen tire
mendonsly, and the sea which is
now running is the heaviest that
has visited this vicinity for years.

which he will sell the lot. If no
one takes it he comes down by
easy stages till within what the
purchasers are willing to pay.
