INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 81.
In nearly al departments trade was the most
active to-day of any day in the present month,
good weather, good roads and the near approach
OF Christmas, all tending to such a result as init
mated probable on Saturday. The produce mar
ket was weaker. Eggs drop to Is cents, and
poultry rules weak at the reduced quo
~tations. In the grocery market there is
nothing new to note; both sugars and
coffees were steady at last weeks quotations,
and canned goods show more frmness. The
New York Shipping List, of the 18th, says of the
business situation: '"The closing up of annual
accounts end taking of stocks is absorbing the
attention Of iobbers and traders. and. as a con-
sequence, the inquiry for fresh supplies has had
reference almost entirely to deliveries after the
lst of January, covering the requirements of
the first quarter of the new year. This fact
indicates that a very hopeful feeling prevails
with respect to the future, and that the growth
of confidence has been of that permanent and
substantial character that promises further i'm
provement in the process of recuperation. The
trading capacity of the country. no doubt, has
been considerably expanded within the past
six months, which is the result of Q long
period OF close economy and severe con-
traction in every department of commercial
and industrial activity. Last summer production
had been forced down to the lowest point con
sistent with the actual requirements of consump.
ton, and the shrinkage in values had well nigh
eliminated all vestise of profit. A reaction
from such a condition of affairs was only natur-
al whenever confidence became restored, and
just such a process has been steadily in progress
during the last half of the calendar year that is
now drawing to q close, the best indication of
which has been the gradual absorption Of idle
capital, that was tlmidly hiding away in bank
vaults, the using up of surplus stocks, the hard
enlng tendency of values. a necessary expansion
OF production to meet the actual requirements of
demand, and a willingness to invest in fresh en-
terprise and develope the natural resources of
the country. These operations have been car
ried on with conservatism. and accordingly
whatever has been accomplished rests upon a
solid foundation calculated to further inspire
confidence, and thereby widen the field Of activi-
ty."
1t was rather a blue Monday in the local mar
ket, and dullness will be a characteristic doubt
less until the holidays are over. The Board of
Trade Price Current says of wheat: while
prices are a shade stronger, yet the general feel
ing is dull, and cash deliveries only wanted. Flu
lures lifeless. Receipts more liberal and grading
better We quote:
