INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Cool Wave Acting Temporary Check
Upon Trade.


INDIANAPOLIS June %.
4 The local market was tame to-day, the cool
weather for June setting back trade, SO to speak.
OF course its effects are temporary, but there is
a feeling among merchants that every day of
dull trade at this particular time is unfortunate,
so dull was business through the spring months
During the warmer days of this month trade
exceeded in volume the usual June average,
and merchants felt that they were making up
partially the falling off of the spring months TAX
ing account of stock soon begins, and with this
the usual summer dullness goes into effect The
dry goods men for thirty days past have been
doing business which rather exceeded their
expectations; yet, as compared with the cor
responding period in former years, it falls below
the usual average Prices have ruled steady,
however, and there have been no losses in that
direction neither have bad debts made serious
inroads on their cash receipts. The wool mar
ket is active. Merritt e Co., in their weekly
circular say: 'Sales of wool from second hands
have been very active this week, and those who
have bought wool on the basis OF our weekly
quotations have realized a fair margin; and IN
some instances strong competition has run
prices above what the Eastern market will war
rant. There is no advance In prices IN the
East aud none expected in the near future, and
we advise our home buyers to continue the con-
sentative policy in future purchases which they
have practiced so wisely so far during the sea-
son." Grocers are doing fair business; sugars
firm, coffees on the down-gra list. Especially
will this remark apply to roasted stock. These
cool days trade has been a little off with the
produce men. Eggs weak at quotations, the
same is true of potatoes and most vegetables.
Young chickens in good demand, receipts in
creasing. Fat, healthy hens also meet with
ready sale. Only really choice article OF butter
will sell at any price Receipts of small fruits
light, prices strong at our quotations. except
strawberries, which are lower.
