INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Business Opens OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
Travelling Statesmen Cheering.


Travelling Statesmen Cheering.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 81.
The week opens with brisk trade. The
travelling statesmen speak OF prospects as very
f1attering, and expect the present will be the
largest order week of this year so far Prices
in nearly all departments to day were steady
and strong Sugars are still tending higher
Our quotations convey the lowest price at which
they can be bought Hides are also higher and
scarce. Poultry moves up a cent. and choice
butter will bring our highest quotation. Several
changes will be noticed in the drug market, as
a result of to-day's revision. The leather
market well, is showing more activity. The
speculative market for hog products has been
stronger than otherwise throughout almost the
entire week This situation has resulted from q
variety of causes. Hogs not only continue rela-
lively higher than products, but the demand for
cash pork and lard for home consumption has
been fairly good, and the request for export
motto sably better. This has stiffened up the
speculative market and there has resulted a
moderate advance in quotations Aside from
the speculative activity which has resulted from
the above, there are no features In this line.
Reports from all quarters encouraging. The
New York Shipping List. of the 29th, says: "Re-
ports from almost every section of the country
say that the movement of trade has sensbly
stocks because of increased demand, and that
the whole aspect of affairs has become most en-
couraging. These conditions are being gradu-
ally reflected upon the primary sources of sup
ply, and hence the improving tendency of trade
here in almost every department. as we'll as the
very hopeful feeling that prevails respecting the
future. The margin of profits is still small and
in many instances manufactured goods are being
sold very near the cost of production, but this is
the result of the keen competition that has been
so conspicuous feature of the past year. and
was the natural outcome of overproduction. As
demand increases, however and the volume of
trade expands, there will be less competition to
sell, for soon manufacturers experience an
outlet that absorbs production, prices necessarily
advance"
The local market is in much the same position
as Saturday. The Board of Trade Price
Current says of wheat; The week opens with
very little change, either in prices or feeling.
except that the local market is not very active

A Grocer's Chat About Salt.

"There is no commodity more CON-
mon than salt, but there is none con-
corning the production of which the
majority of people know so little"
remarked Il grocer as he took hand
full of coarse salt from barrel and
slowly siftol it through his fingers.
ut has always been so common that
few ever give it thought" he con-
tinued. almost everybody can tell
you something about the manufac-
ture of sugar, where coffee, spices,
tea, and other staples of the grocery
trade are found, and approximate the
length of time they have been used.
Salt, however, is older than almost
everything else of common table use.
1t is mentioned in the scriptures, and
Plato refers to it.
1.-THE pure brine from which fine
salt is made is found in immense
quantities in several parts Of the
world. This brine is found hundreds
of feet below the surface. 1t is pump
ed into watts and passes through diff
ferent stages into large iron pans,
where the water is evaporated by
boiling. The salt crystals are drawn
into molds and subjected to a high
temperature in drying room. The
cakes are crushed and sifted before
being placed in the bags for market"
"Where are some of the largest
salt works."
"At Syracuse, N. Y, Saginaw,
Mich, and Cheshire, England. The
English salt is better than ours. /
attribute this entirely to the greater
care in its preparation, Nearly for
ty thousand tons of English salt
were received in New York last year, u
elbow is coarse salt formed p
Coarse salt is made from sea water
and is not subjected to artificial heat
The strongest salt water is found
along the coast of the Mediterranean
and its islands and about the West
Indies. Two or three feet of water is
run directly from the ocean into shall
low ponds, and the entrance to the
ponds then closed. The water is
evaporated by the sun and wind, and
the deposit of salt is left on the bot
tom. Itrequires four or five months
to evaporate three feet of water. The
salt is then gathered in piles like sand
and is ready for delivery. The
amount of the crop depends entirely
upon the water, as does the quality to
great extent. A dry and windy
season will produce the best coarse
salt, the crystals being large and
hard. If there is but little wind and
the atmosphere is damp, the salt will
be fine and poor"
"What is rock salt ?"
Just what the name implies
salt that is mined. There are the
great salt mines of Russia. 1t is also
found in the State of Louisiana, in
England, Ireland, Austria and Santo
Domingo. The Louisiana salt is very
clear and pure. That of Austria is
absolutely so, and shows 100 parts OF
chloride Of sodium.
"The United States produces but
little coarse salt. Syracuse turns out
some, but the amount is small in COM
parison to that produced by the rest
of the world. Coarse salt is known
to the trade as "solar salt"
"Salt is used not only in almost
every species of cookery, but in many
ways not usually known. The finest
salt is even used in the preparation Of
chewing tobacco. Chicago News.

The Cause of SOLDERING.

The SOLDERING of horses and cows is
caused by the irritating effect upon the
salivary glands of the strong essential
oil of the plants which produce it. If
one will chew some lobelia, st. Johns
wort, or pennyroyal he will find the
salivary glands to be excited in this
manner. The effect is removed by eat
ing any dry substance, as oatmeal,
middlings, or cornmeal, and the best
remedy for it is to give any animal
which is suffering from the salvation a
feed of dry meal or middlings; this will
put stop to it Mt once. The waste of
saliva is exceedingly weakening to a
horse, for saliva is not mere water, but
contains large quantity of potash,
soda, lime, phosphoric acid, and organic
matter, so that it approaches very
closely in character to the blood. ~ Y.

"A curious duel with pistols took
place at Montretout, France, recently.
AT the word of command both the adj
versaries raised their weapons and one
of them fired, but without result. IL
was noticed that the pistol of the other
did not 60 off, and on his handing 1t to
his opponents seconds they found that
he had deliberately unlosded It.

"A three-year-old boy at Louisville
promises to be gray-headed before he

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back, loins, and lower
part of the abdomen, causing the patient
to suppose he has some election Of the
kidneys or neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestions are present,
fatulency, uneasness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing
very disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once
to the application OF DR.. Bosankos Pile

parts effected, absorbing the Tumors, al

"A good wig of white hair, says an
American tonsorial artist, costs about
$40. but (and this is a secret of the trade
and can only be told in whispers) the
material of which these wigs are made
is clipped from the festive goat, and
never from the human head. A pecu-
liar soft, silky kind of sn6wy-white hair
originates on tho Angora rabbit. A per-
fectly white and abundant wig of white
human hair would cost 81 900 al least.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A HARVEST SONG.


Tho odor sweet OF new-mown hay
Is waited DER the land;
Piled high, the sheaves of golden grain,
Walt for the threshers hand.
Wide, billowy fields OF corn uplift
Their banners broad and green,
With plenty's promise craven bright
On each, I'm glittering sheen.
The leafy vine bends low with weight
Ofjuicy clusters fair.
Springtime's glad prophecies fulfilled
The burdened orchards bear.
Der all the land brown-handed Toll
And patient Thrift have wrought
Dav after day, till dreams have been
To full fruition brought.
Yet not 10 them all praise is given
Not all TO Toll and Thrift;
"Who gives the increase" unto Him
Our Greatful hearts we lift.
Who can the richly varied store
OF goodly gifts behold,
Nor say with Israefs prophets band,
Thy works, how manifold.

Advocate.
