Business Improving, but Slowly-NIore Ac-
tivity Looked for in the Near Future.
INDIANAPOLIS Aug T.
July bills are being paid with reasonable
promptness; stocks in the country stores are low;
crops yet to mature are promising, and, on the
whole, there is much to encourage the belief that
we are on the eve Of better times, and that the
general depression is passing off. Low prices
are stin cheek upon the wheat movement
The London Economist states that the harvest
year has drawn to within six weeks of its close.
and the price Of wheat stands quite as low as in
any period during the past one hundred years.
Thus far the average in 1884 is distinctly lower
than in any year since 1880; and if the harvest
arms out as it promises to do, the current
twelve months bids fair to close with an alto
gether remarkable record Of prices in the history
: of the trade. The average price of British
wheat for the first half Of 1884 was SIS Sd per
quarter, against 36s for the year 1880 or lo4
years ago, at which time prices were the lowest
sver known. The chief reason for the present
lOw price is that the means Of communication
nowadays with those countries beyond Europe
where wheat can be cheaply grown are SO
vastly increased, and so much less costly than
they used to be. But that wheat is cheaper
IN other parts Of the world than it was
b years past is likewise true Grocers report
ilEade more active. Sugars steady at quotations
The principal reason why sugar is low and de-
pressed ie on account Of overproduction precise
E the same reason that prices of breadstuffs
have been lower than ever before known. be-
cause all the leading markets of the world have
been overstocked. The receipts of sugar At
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.

show an increase of 100, 900 tons over the CORE.
spending period last year, and the receipts last
year showed q very large increase over the pre-
yious year Our market has been overstocked
with sugars and, III order to place the large sup
plies arriving, prices have been forced down TO
low figures. European markets are in the same
position. The supply is very large, and low
prices must follow. The consumption. has also
been very large showing an increase over last
year Of 104 878 tons ID seven months. but our
receipts have considerably exceeded the defland
Tor consumption, and our stocks are now Sc 21f
