The Week Opens with Trade Fairly Active,
and More Favorable in Some Respects.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10. =,
There was a fair volume of trade in progress
to-day in most departments, with indications
that the business of the week, should the weather
continue favorable, will be an improvement over
either of the preceding weeks of the month.
Neither in the wholesale nor the retail markets
does there seem to be an overstock of articles
which are manufactured. For more than year
past the most depressing influence with which
general trade has had to contend has been over

ing, notwithstanding that the surface movement
has become slow and, for the time being unsat-
isfactory. With the more seasonable weather
there is prospect of improvement in
the general trade movement, but there
is nothing in the present situation
to warrant the expectation Of any consid-
cradle expansion in the volume of home
trade for several weeks TO come Nor. on the
other hand is there any reason to anticipate re-
lapse into general duness and inactivity. Trade
has revived and the industries have been reani-
mated, accompanied by active buying and lib
eral stocking up and while the process of diges-
ton is in progress season of comparative rest
ensues This is the natural course of events,
and the existing quietude, therefore, is no ind-
cation of loss OF confidence or for dis
