AT a few of the Western centers and in some
parts of the South there is a noticeable increase
in the volume of wholesale traffic, but this is
only by comparison with the sluggish action of
trade elsewhere The most encouraging sign of
improvement in any of the trade statistics is in
the decrease of mercantile failures. There is no
new feature to note in the dry goods trade.
Business, like the weather, is subject to t1uctua-
hons-days of activity in all departments are
followed by days Of dullness. The general feel
ing, however, is good, and prices are firm. The
warm sun that has been undimmed all week has
increased trade in lawns, chambrays, lace grena-
dimes, wool buntings and other classes of sum-
mer goods, shown in large variety by all our
dry goods houses. The general disposition of
the trade is still conservative, the newest,
choicest styles receiving most attention for i'm
mediate wants.
There was nothing particularly new in gro
Gerry circles to-day; business fair; prices I'M
changed, with the exception of roasted coffee,
which has been advanced 1-2c. The New York
market was dull yesterday for both coffee and
sugars. But little call for syrups or molasses,
although the supply of the latter is light, and
choice open kettle is held firmly. The Gro
Ger says: Canned goods are being swept clean.
There has never been a season in the history of
the Indianapolis market when stock went out
into the hands of dealers, and thence into actual
use with so much of a wholesale sweep. More
canned goods are being used up every year. "
Eggs, poultry and butter, unless choice, are all
weaker and the tendency still to lower prices.
New Ohio cheese has about supplantcd old;
there is still some old New York cheese here.
Green stuff of all kinds coming forward pretty
freely and prices easy. The demand FOR hay
products continue light, but an improvement is
looked for as the season advances.

tho height of fashion.
Yesterday Mr., Waite received q circular
from the Hotel Keepers association warning
him TO look out for a hotel swindler, in tho
form OF pretty woman of 80 years, who
had swindled several hotel keepers in this
city. Tho alderman, finding the description
fitted the case Of his new guest, placed tho
matter in the hands of Inspector Byrnes, who
set Detective Sergeants Rogers and Doyle on
the case. The officers discovered that Miss
Layard, under tho various names OF Mrs.
Knox, Miss Beardaley, and Miss James. had
stayed for short periods at the Sturteyant,
Ashland, Coleman, Morton, Sinclair, and
Belvidere hotels, always departing suddenly
and forgetting to pay her bills, which
generally averaged about 800. Wherever
she went she occupied the handsomest
apartments in the hotel. The trunks she
left were found to be filled only with rags
aud stones TO make them heavy.
Yesterday afternoon the two detectives
arrested her at the Brevoort house and brought
her before Inspector Byrnes, at police head
quarters. She told the inspector that sho
was wealthy, and said that broker at No. 60
Wall street had control of her funds. She
