INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Situation Observation-Disclosures Weather
Would Now Be Acceptable.
INDIANAPoLIs Nov. TO-
Trade to-day was something of an improve
ment over Monday, yet tameness broods over
the markets generally which it is thought will
not remove until we have weather more winter
like in its character. From all commercial CEN
tiers reports continue hopeful and encouraging.
The markets for wheat, corn, -four and provis
ions have continued dull, and while prices are
generally easier, the decline has not been suf
ficent to improve the outlet for actual supplies.
The movement of dry goods has continued mod
crate so far as relates to the development of
fresh business, but supplies are being steadily
absorbed by current deliveries upon contract.
The wool market, which up to the present has
shown good staying power, has commenced to
reflect quieter temper. but it is several years
since the situation of this staple has been so
uniformly satisfactory to growers, dealers and
manufacturers. An interesting feature in the
market for hog products is the low price at which
tallow Is now selling said to be the lowest ever
known In the history of the trade, and this fact
is having an important influence upon the
market value OF cotton seed, lard and cocoanut
oils, and all descriptions of fish OIL as well rs
soap stock of all kinds, which are now selling at
relatively low prices. The produce markets
more active than last week. Hens advanced
cent to-day. Arthur Jordan in his daily price
current, says of poultry: There is a firm market
for all kinds Notwithstanding the receipts are
very large, and it is evident shippers are begin
ming to profit by the experience of former years
and sending in the turkeys early, to avoid the
break in prices which always precedes Thanks
giving Day. This is the week to get in all the
turkeys intended for the Eastern Thanksgiving
trade. Eggs, fresh. 18c straight. The receipts
are so light there is hardly enough to supply
city trade. Butter-Good fresh roll is steady
and brings &c and occasionally little more for
extra, but the best solid packed will not bring
above that figure. Dairy butter very quiet.
In groceries there is nothing new to note.
Provisions are stronger than at the close of last
week; the confidence, however, is attributable
to the failure OF hogs to arrive as freely pre-
dicted, but the shipping demand is moderate
and there IS really little IN the situation to
courage large speculative buying for an advance,
as consumers show disposition to buy with
view to current wants, and there are no evil
dences of large short interest. But the low
prices induce close observers to regard the
ket as in fairly healthy condition., and ma
terial change in either direction is not deemed
likely. The hide market continues sluggish.
