Mild Temperature Checking Trade Still.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. IL.
| Another dull day was the common remark in
| commercial circles to-day and nearly every mer

summer like weather which has prevailed for
some days past, and without doubt cold snap
would improve business. The hog crop, how
ever, is beginning to move quite briskly, and the
demand for cars at local points on the various

money to move these crops will certainly revive
trade somewhat, as farmers will pay the coun-
try merchants and purchase more freely, and the
country merchant will in turn pay his bills, and
trade in turn, will naturally revive Although no
boom in business need be expected. and, in fact,
the more conservative business men are not
