A Moderate Degree of Activity - Few
Changes In Values.

Changes In Values.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov IL
In the general merchandise markets there was
q moderate degree of activity, but the leading
articles were devoid of anything important
The feeling obtains that with most articles prices
re down to bottom figures, and wherever there
is change prices will 60 higher rather than
lower. The egg market continues Arm. Butter
continues to come forward freely, and prices are
weak and dropping Live poultry, chickens in
particular, are very dull and in large supply it
is said that the country is full of poultry, and as
soon as the weather becomes cooler it is ex-
pected that there will be an oversupply of
dressed, as there is now of live. The coffee
market is tolerably active. The New York
Shipping List says the sudden increase in re-
ceipts at Rio is the ICost important feature of the
cable advices to hand since our last issue, there
by making p considerable difference in the aver
age for the week Moderate purchases and
large receipts have necessarily increased the
stock, which was last cabled 304 900 bags but
Notwithstanding these features the market there
is quoted firm with an advance in quotations as
well as exchange. Furthermore, Rio adyices to
hand this week, both by mail and cable. reiter-
ate the previous estimate of the yield of the
Gron, and state positively that it is likely to be
smaller rather than greater than the original
figures of three and One-quarter millions, while
with respect to the Santos crop it is claimed that
already the receipts are falling off and that the
yield from this locality will likely fall far below
the 3rst estimates The rapid marketing of the
erQ2 in botii uruirti5r, il is still claimed is due
to the impecuniosity of planters, whose necessi-
ties have compelled them to realize upon tn cir
produce as soon as they can. The sugar market
is steady and fairly active. The circular of
Messrs. Willett, Hamlen & Co. reports the
movement and says the stock in all hands Oct
I was 17l7T0 tons The receipts in October
were A.. sos tons, The stock in all hands NOV
| was 13l, 597 tons. making the actual net melt
ing of raw sugar for October in four ports g..

News, who insists on being anonymous,
writes us to correct a statement made by
an exchange, which was reproduced in
this column, where it was stated, ''the
orange crop of Florida this season has
been estimated at 60,000,000 oranges,
netting $25O,00 Our anonymous friend
has figured it out, and thinks that num-
ber of oranges should have netted about
100000.
Jacksonville Herald: Last night about
10 o'clock a widow woman named Anna
Maulden was run over by passing train
of the Florida Central and Western rail
road at its crossing, at what is known as
the Brooklyn Bridge, in the western part
of the city. The train which was com
posed of passenger coaches, was backing
down on the main track, and the woman
attempting to cross at the time was
struck by the bumper attached to the
rear of the coach, knocked down upon
the track and fearfully mangled. Both
of her legs, just above the knees, were
crushed and broken, and portion of
her right hand was cut off. She never
regained consciousness after being re-
moved from the track, and died early
this morning.
