TRADE AND COMMERCE..
The Outlook More Encouraging-A Good Fall
Trade in Prospect.

Trade in Prospect.
INDIANAPOLIS. Juno 10.
The outlook for general business is rather bet
ter, although no material improvement be
looked for before the middle OF latter part of
next month. The first half of July is taken up
by many of our merchants and manufacturers in
taking stock and making semi-annual settle
ments and until that has been gone through
with there is not likely to be much if any, i'm
provement in trade. But later on, unless crop
prospects are blighted, very satisfactory trade
is expected. The produce markets are fairly
active, prices tending lower for eggs and poultry.
Green stuff in abundant supply, prices offish.
Sugars continue offish and slow, notwithstanding
the small fruit season is near at hand granu-
lated has been sold as low as &c East, which, if
we mistake not, is the lowest point yet touched.
Until the market becomes settled and iobbers
have some assurance that hard-pan has been
reached, trade in sugar will, no doubt, continue
light. Coffee has stiffened up somewhat east
ward but our market remains unchanged; roast
ed, it is said, is low as compared with the green
bean. There is a fair movement in canned
goods but no important change in prices But
little doing in fish, nor is it to be expected at
this season of the year.
Receipts ofwool are liberal Prices unchanged.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin of June says
the market is dull and weak, and prices are
tending downward. Whatever the future may
develop, the present certainly indicates that
prices have not yet touched bottom here in Bos-
ton. That there is no deception is the depressed
condition OF the manufacturing interests is evil

dent from the auction sales noted in our dry
goods report and it Is fact that fall woolens at
private sale are fully 10 per cent. cheaper to-
day than they were when the samples were first
shown about two months ago BIadstreet says
of the New York wool market The demand
from manufacturers continues slow and cautious
and there is general unwillingness to purchase
in excess of actual wants. unless n tempting bar
gain is offered to the buyer. AS usual, at this
time of the year, there is good deal of irregu-
larity in holders views and more or less pres
sure to close out old stocks, even at the cost of
sharp concessions. There is a general feeling
that wool is to rule low in comparison with last
year. and as there is nothing to indicate a better
market, neither dealers manufacturers are
inclined to operate freely in the country.
GRAIN
In the local market little is doing. Wheat is
offish in prices. Corn steady. Oats show less
strength than early in the week. The Board Of
Trade Price Current says of wheat The pres.
ent outlook is most promising, and reports based
upon the present condition of the growing crop
indicate very large increase, both IN acreage
and yield, and also that the ruling prices for
new grain will realize to the farmer from Soc to
soc, as to quality. Local markets are dull and
have weakening tendency. Sales of July de-
livery were made on call at 929c track. Other
futures not wanted. Arrivals light mostly of

New YORK, Jan. 2l--Mr. Jay Gould was
asked this evening if the report was true that he
had decided to proceed legally against the per-
sons who originated the rumors that he was
financial eabarrassedy.
SIT is true that have done so,'' he replied,
ssT am advised that under the penal code they
have committed crime for which they can be
punished. The statement that they are TO be
prosecuted is, however, premature. In that
preferred that nothing should be said about tbs
matter at present"
Mr.. Gould was asked if it would not be d;f;-
cultto obtain evidetc ce against the person re-
ferred to.
He said he thought not, as he had all the evi-
dence desired He could not say whether the
attention of the grand jury had been called to
the matter, but presumed not as yet. He had,
he said, simply put the matter In the hands of
his counsel with instructions to bring the Offend
ers to justice. Mr.. Gould then went on to say
that it was not so much on account of attacks
upon himself that he had done this, but more
on account of the companies in which he is in
terested. Their credit had been assaIled, he
said. "There is Wabash, for instance he con-
tinued (which they insist is in
bad way, when every one knows that
we have just cleared off its floating
debts and it is in as good condition financially
as any road IN the country.
The same is true of Pacific. The immigration
along the line of this road is simply marvellous.
We haven't cars to handle it, A large part of
the present decline is artificial. and has been
pedited by the circulation of just such stories
these, which have induced people to part with
their stocks at loss who will regret having
done SO when they see them forty per cent, or
more, higher again. 1t is to protect these peo-
pie who have put their money into these and
other companies that propose to try to put
stop to the circulation OF these reports.
Mr.. Gould was asked who he believed were
the originators of the reports referred to, but
he declined to say who they we're, except that
they were short of stocks and resorted to these
methods to depress prices. As TO reports of his
own insolvency, he said that the fact that he
was no5 borrowing money of a single bank or
trust company ought to bea sufficient answer, if
any were needed. ST presume l could borrow
great deal of money from any one or all Of
them,' he said, ''if 1 wanted to, as my collater-
ais will pass in any bank at par, and under those
circumstances they would as soen lend to me as
auV one. - -

THE ENGLISH GRAIN MARKETS.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The Mark Lane Ea
press, in its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says: The weather is mild;
damp and foggy. The autumn crops are
not too forward, but if this mildness con-
tinues they will be premature, and the
spring growth is anticipated. The wheat
crop looks well, but the position begins t,
assume elements of danger Values are
declining, except for choice, perfect sam
pies. Flour is cheaper. Mating barley
tends upward. Foreign wheat is dull and
declining, Maize is cheaper. The new
crop of mixed and American has turned
out to be Of inferior quality. Round
maize today is 61@1s cheaper; of cargoes
off coast, there were four arrivals, two
Withdrawn and two sold, and four re-
mained. Cargoes on passage met with
little attention; their values are nominal.
The sales of English wheat for the week
we're $500 quarters, at 38@39s per quar-
ter, against 54,997 quarters, at 40s for the
quarter of the corresponding week last
wear.

large borrowers of stocks, and the market
gives every indication of being badly
oversold. It requires as much bravery to
make prediction about the stock market
as it does TO lead a forlorn hope in storm
ing fort. But without any regard to the
values of properties, it will be very
strange if there is not sharp rally in a
very short time, simply on the short in
terest, which is immense. Lackewanna d
Western earnings for six months ending
December 81, net $1,173,400.
To-day's sales of stock on the New York
stock exchange amounted to 455, 900 shares.
The days market was reviewed by Henry
Clews & Co, as follows: aThe stock mar
ket opened, continued and closed feverish.
About II a. IN. the bears emboldened by re
ports of large selling orders from London
end Amsterdam, made a SAVAGE drive at
Denver. ST. Paul, Northwestern and Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas, which stocks suf
fered the worst shock during the stampede
then created. The principal large buying
during the day was to cover shorts. The
strength in the Vanderbilt stocks
proved a sustaining influence, and
did much to hcld the general market from
dropping to lower prices than those
reached. There were no prejudicial ru-
mors foated during the day on the street.
The influences brought to bear were more
than usually of natural character. The
main cause of the present gloom over
Wall street is attributable to the want of
confidence, as might be expected from the
frightful losses entailed after the collapse
of Wizards Northern Pacific scheme, West
Shore end its appendages. Gould is evil
IDENTIFY annoyed oyer the rumors circulated
about his position on the stock
market and his financial condition. His
friends say he is the strongest man in Wall
street, as regards cash means, to-day, and
that teere need be no uneasiness about his
standing and ability. It was intimated
to-day that Gould would probably make
another public exhibit of his historic tin
box, and that a committee of bankers
would be requested to examine its con-
tents. prominent trader predicted that
the box would show among other things
$30,000,000 of Western Union, $15,000,000
of Missouri Pacific, S20,0O0,O0O of Kansas
and Texas Pacific, and large amount OF
Wabash and Union Pacific. Gould, it is
said. is determined to prevent the Wabash
from falling into the hands of q receiver"
The Wall Street Neavs regards "The spec
tacle Of Mr.. Gould blotting out combina-
tions, pooling agreements and traffic
engagements IN the hopes of stemming
the universal liquidation which is
now progressing intensely ridiculous. The
people have lost great deal of money by
faith in these during the past two years,
but most of them will do so no longer. Mr..
Gould is as powerless to prevent liquida-
ton new as the old woman was to keep
back the tide with her broom. This is a
year where investors are trying to dodge
receivers, and we !haye dismal idea that
MIR. Gould has as much trouble to keep
some of his properties out of the way Of
them as anybody else."
