TRADE AND COMMERCE..
A Fairly Active Market in General Merchant
dise-A Good Average for the Week.

dise-A Good Average for the Week.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 18.
The past week has shown q decided improve
mont in mercantile circles, and all indications
seem to point to better times. No great rush is
looked for until after the November election is
over; but with that source of disqCiet and dis
traction out of the way and the marketing Of
the new corn, which bids fair to bring salts
factory prices an impetus will undoubtedly be
given to business which will delight the hearts
of the merchants who have so long deplored
the dullness of the times and waited with such
patience as they could command for an inn
p%rovement. The dry goods houses report that
the week has rounded up quite satisfactorily.
There have been few purchasers on the street.
but mail orders have been quite liberal, and tho
travelling men who reported to-day have their
order books well filled. Heavy goods
are beginning to move more freely and after all
the encouragement of the early part of the sea-
son the year will most likely show a good aver
age of business. Groceries are moving more
freely, and all the staples are firm. The trade
for the week has been considerably above tho
average. There is less inquiry for fancy lines of
goods, but prices are well maintained. In other
lines of trade, such as drugs, leather, iron, hard
ware, etc, there is a quiet market, but dealers
are making no special complaint of dullness.
Prices are well maintained. Altogether, the
outlook for the future is brighter than for some
weeks past
GRAIN.
The market for all cereals continues dull and
lifeless. Receipts of all kinds are light, and the
demand at the minimum. The stocks in elevator
are the smallest, at this season of the year, fora
long time. The inspections into warehouse

SOME SCENES or rsRRnR.

y The flood did not como without warning,
but 80 quickly did tho river swell to a
ravaging sea that the people had short time
4 to profit by tho warning. So rapidly did
the waters rise, that many residents Of the
South Eud were imprisoned in their
houses, and only removed from the second
stories in skihs in time to prevent their
perishing. On the hillside, men, women
and Y children, scantily clad, huddled
together or ran wildly here and there, cry-
ing and wringing their hands and scanning
the faces Of the saved to see il their dear
y uea were alive. It was a scene Of terror

DUE TO ARKANSAW.

Thomas NJ. Bowen, United States sen- ator from Colorado, found his beautiful wife and attained his principal wianing political shrewdness in Arkansaw. Be- sides that, EN Senator Jerome B. Chaffee. of Colorado, who spent months in Florida and elsewhere in search of cures for a complication of diseases. including gout, and was given up by his friend as on the rapid road to the other world. visited our Eureka Springs, so justly famous for as- tonishing cures of various diseases, where the wonderful waters brought health and new life to him as they have to many others so that now Senator Chaffee has entered the list of active candidates for United States senator from his state, feel ing that the Arkansaw Eureka Springs waters have changed his destiny from an early realization of the unknown future to prospective re-o occupation of his sea, in the United States senate. The state oi Colorado, or some person else, is clearly debtor to Arkansaw. Eureka Springs not only furnishes health for sem a,ors. bat ordinary people find health there. IL IS the cheapest health ressr; in the world. and is unques,ionably the mos, picturesque. The people of Arkan- saw are slow in recognizing great natural advantages, and recognize nothing as wonderful. \ spring flowing with rye whisky would find immediate apprecia- ton ln some of the rural districts, bu, waters ;ha; simply give heal.h without unnatural hilasi,y. are regarded as a kind ct every day affair. The outside world. though. has learned to regard Eureka springs as the mos, wonderful of places. An investigation will soon be made. and Il the waters of Eureka will cause Jeff.
