INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS,
Slight Improvement in Trade with the
Coming of Cooler Weather..

INDIANAPOLIS, July 81.
A walk through the several departments of
trade to-day showed more activity-the effects of
the heated term having somewhat passed off
with the more comfortable weather. AS one passes
from one branch of traffic to another he cannot
help being impressed with the abundance and
low prices ruling. Especially does one notice
this in the produce markets. Vegetables, eggs,
butter are in large supply, and never cheaper in
the market so early in the season. It

should prices go lower. Lemons are still ad-

OLD HUNDRED.

Whenever our long-meter morning con-
temporary attempts to arouse itself from its
lethargic antiquated conditions and to
affect the style of modern enterpris-
ing journalism, it cuts such fantas-
tic capers that it provokes its readers
to ridiculous smiling. When the North
western rebellion broke out it occurred to
our drowsy contemporary that this would
be an excellent opportunity to advertise
itself as an enterprising newspaper. Ac-
eordingly it was announced with flourish
of trumpets that special correspondent
had been detailed to go right to the seat of
war, and was to keep the country posted
through the columns of the Pioneer Press
of all the details of military operations in
that quarter This was the first imposition
on the public. In the next place it seemed
to enter the mind of this antediluvian jour-
nal that sensationaliSm was equivalenttO en-
terprise, and it brought to the front a
cock and bull story about a st.
Paul barber transporting Calling
guns to the insurgents. This was
the second imposition on the public. The
Pioneer Press was so wonderfully tickled
over this imaginary Gatling-gun scoop it
forgot all about the rebellion until it read
one morning in the GLOBE that RIEL had
been captured and the war was over.
Chagrined at its own stupidity it made a
convulsive effort to catch up with the
GLOBES enterprise by appropriating its
news and running it into supplemental
edition. This was another imposition on
the public. Determined, however, that the
next thing which happened shouldn't get
away our contemporary slept for three or
four nights with one eye open. This I'M
usual strain on its journalistic powers was
too much for our antiquated neighbOr, and,
succumbing to the influences which come
of long-continued habit, it relapsed into its
normal condition of slumber. With that
confusion of ideas and obscurity of sensa-
lions which come with sleep the Pioneer
Press passed into dreamland. A vision like
unto the one which passed before JOB in
the hours of the night and made his hair to
elevate presented itself to our slumbering
contemporary. In its dream it saw IGNA-
THUS DoNNELLY mounted on PAT KELLY's
back charging down upon PoUNDMAKER's
camp, capturing Col. Offers wagon train
and 1919 half-breed postoffices. This phan-
tasm was regarded by this amateurin enter
prising journalism as perfect scoop on its
really enterprising neighbors, so its columns
yesterday morning fairly bristled with
graphic accounts of POUNDMAKER'S cap
ture and of civil war raging between rival
Minnesota politicians now in Washington,
when in fact such events as it described
never had an existence, except in the phan-
tasmagorial brain of our long doxology
contemporary.

Bent, Laren n. Downs and Alonzo R.
Coburn by James W. Bennett, Alex

were officers of the Erie Telephone COM

selling the stock made false rep
reservations as to its original cost,
what it was then earning, and what it
would earn in the future. James W. Ben

company and Sherman is one of the direct
ors. Mr.. Glidden, at present director

WHEAT GRADING.

The state railway commissioners held a
most interesting seance with committees of
the boards of trade of the cities of the state
known as the terminal repositories of grain
of Minnesota and Dakota representatives
of inland elevators, heavy grain dealers and
large farmers at the state capitol yesterday.
The object was to get the opinions of all
interested before issuing a new grade table
for wheat under the act creating the board
by the legislature of 1885. The dealing in
terest was largely represented at this meet
ing and from them the commission has
probably learned the art of man
ipulating the different grades of grain as
they now stand with chance of profit. 1t
is to be regretted that the farming interest.
which was instrumental in the passage of
this act, was so poorly represented, al
though the few present made a good
record for their number. Of the PROPOSE
tons submitted, the one by Mr.. DELANo of
this city met the views of the latter class.
which was that there be three main grades,
that the debris grain be left to regulate
itself, and that the state take into its con-
troll the country as well as the terminal ell
evators, that wheat shall be sold for wheat
and dirt for dirt. The proposition of Du-
luth to maintain the grade of hard wheat
under Northern head, ON account of a
worldwide reputation of those era DIES al
ready made, was favorably received. The
difficulty Of the Minneapolis and st. Paul
millers, who receive soft wheat from such
large range of territory as to necessitate
more grading on account of difference in
quality, was apparent, although they united
with Duluth in desire to maintain grades
OF hard wheat and the best soft mixed.
which makes Minnesota and Dakota flour
the best in the world. In this con-
-nection came in also the claims
OF the Red river valley for pro
lection OF the king hard wheat which it
produces. The dealers in the course of the
proceedings got a good kick in on the
farmers for selling them dirt and not clean
ing their wheat, and the farmers replied
with a vigorous left handler by retortine
thatwhether they brought high grade wheat
to market clean or unclean they had ra
ceiyed the same price for it through the
system Of docllage in vogue. This dockare
business, whose abolition the AIinneapolis
and Duluth men unite in demanding. is the
most difficult problem the commissioners
have to deal with and over which they are
the most perplexed. Their authority ey-
tends only over the terminal elevators.
whereas to drop dockage guess-work they
must compel the farmer to clean his grain
before marketing. or to hire the country
elevators to do itthemselyes, paying fee for
80 doing. 1t is thought the commissioners
