mer Dizziness Prevalent.
INDIANAPOLIS, August /.
The week closing to-day has been rather I'M
satisfactory, so far as the volume of business Is
concerned. yet the recent hot weather was
worth millions to the crops, however uncom-
Portable it may have been to humanity. There
was only a fair degree of activity in produce
circles to day-lt vas net what it usually is on
Saturday-and a good many of our merchants
INDUCED in more or less growing. Eggs con-
tinue to move very slowly, and prices are weak,
but unchanged. Choice butter is in demand, but
the poorer grades are as dull as ever,
and not likely to be much bet
ter. Potatoes have been in excessive
supply for some days, but it is expected that the
receipts from the South will fall off considerably
within the next few days, as present prices
scarcely cover l~ay-down cost from that section.
Tomatoes continue in large supply. while cab
bage is scarce and higher. In groceries there is
a fair distribution in progress for this season of
the year. The indianapolis Grocer of today
says: There is better market for c~offees; a con-
test between the two sides eof the market in
New York has been sufficient to advance
prices. How much of this is real and how
much the weakness of effervescence is what the
people are wanting to find out; it may be the
right moment for an advance, but it does not
look that way yet. Sugars are heavy; the mar
ket is sensitive and vacillating, but nothing solid
is put under any sharp advance, and it soon
crumbles away. People are using more syrups.
and it has not been difficult for glucose makers
to hold prices firm at a combination agreement.
Rice is one OF the articles of Indifference; no at
tention at all is given to its feeble efforts at a
jump. Canned goods are looking the worse for a
late campaign of poor %pickincs; the profit to
full return for faith and cash. This will deter
many from canning this season, Will check the

Mark Lane EXPRESSES Review.

LONDON, Aug 1.-THE Mark Lane Express, in
it's weekly review of the grain trade, says: The
unusual heat has forced the wheat crops. Sam
pies of the new crop will fall far
short of the general expectation. Barleys
are much scorched, and are ripening
very irregularly. There is an almost entire alb
sence of trade. Wheat is a shilling lower.
There is nothing doing in foreign wheats. Flour
is difficult of sale, despite the fact that the
American imports are dwindling. Business in
cargoes off the coast and in trade forward is at a
standStill.
