INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Fair Trade for Summer Month in Prog
ress-Few Fluctuations in Values.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 10.
The week opens with fair trade in progress,
and but few changes in quotations. In the gro
Gerry market there are no changes calling forspe-
cal mention. Sugars are steady; cofees I'M
changed. In the produce markets arrivals of
fruits and vegetables are on the increase.
Prices rule weaker. In other markets the
range of prices is much the same as last week. In
commenting on the conditions of trade tho New
York Shipping List of July IL, says: Once
restore the necessary confidence to cause this
accumulation of idle money to seek employ
ment in any legitimate direction and the problem
Of depression will be solved. This may appear
very much like the statement of a self evident
proposition, namely, that the speed of an engine
will be accelerated when more steam is applied,
but it is, nevertheless, true that trade has almost
wholly lost its elasticity and life because of this
withdrawal and locking up of the reserve force
of capital. Enterprise which furnishes the ami
mating power to commercial operations, seems
for the present to be almost at stand and
enterprise languishes because money is afraid
to allow it the support and assistance which
| is required for its development The financial
situation is strong and healthy enough, but it is
| the dormant strength of inaction and the health
of lazy indifference 1t is satisfactory to find
| freer circulation of money as we'll as demand
| that has commenced to absorb some portion of
the reserve or Idle FUNDS, ana further widening
of this field will be a grateful indication that
substantial improvement is in progress. With
scarcely an exception. commercial affairs have
been under the quieting influences that usually
prevail at this mid summer period of the year,
and the business transacted since the week
opened affords but little scope for fresh
ment. Legitimate trade in all departments has
moved slowly and without developing new
features of interest OF Importance. There has
been no increase in the requirements of con-
| int hnnl to-
light stocks and buy only to keep their supplies
in salable condition. Sugar seems to be the
only exception to this remark, the demand hay
ing sensibly qnickened within the past ten days
This has been due to the coming in of small
fruits and the increased requirements for pack
ing and preserving which is always experienced
at this season of the year Coffee, tea and other
groceries have been in limited request, and dry
goods men generally tell of dull trade"

The market opened tanner and prices weak.
Attendance on Change small and bidding life
less. The Board of Trade Price Current says of

seen all along the line in lower prices Good
milling scarce. Samples of new wheat were ex-
hibited on Change and pronounced by dealers to
be of superior quality. Futures dull and weak.

CHRISTIANITY is stronger in this coun-
try, no doubt as a result of the voluntary
system, than it is in Europe, where
churches are part OF the machinery OF the
State. The figures from the census re-
ports are ali that way. In 1900 there
were in the United States 5000 evangelical
churches; in 1850, 1908; in 1870, 70,l4S,
and in 1850, 97,G9O-a gain of $1,000 in
ten year,, ending in 1880. The number OF
COMMITMENTS in evangelical churches in
the United States in 1890 was $4,000; in
1850, 2,529, 900; in 1870, 6,67S 600. and in
1850, lO.O65,OO Taking the whols
country through, there was in 1900 one
