INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Little that Is New to Note-A Healthy Trade
in Progress.


in Progress.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 25
The volume of traffic this week has been quite
satisfactory, with tendency to higher prices in
several lines of goods. Especially will this
mark apply to dry goods and groceries. Sugars
are off one-fourth of cent. Roasted coffees are
firm at the recent advance. In the produce
markets there has been a little sluggishness.
Receipts of poultry and butter are large prices
weak. The supply of eggs does not exceed the
demand, consequently, prices quoted are we'll
adhered to. The market is flooded with apples,
and they never have sold at
lower figures than at the pres
present time. Vegetables are in abundant sup
ply; prices reasonable The last carload of Del

yesterday. The watermelon trade is nearing its
close, as well. The flour market is more active
Eastern papers say there is no excitement in the
-four market but decidedly better feeling pre-
walls, and the trade are now stocking up more
freely with desirable brands. Prices have ad-
vanced from 10 to % cents per barrel, but the
market is still quite low, and it appears that the
trade will make mistake in purchasing what
supplies they want at present prices. The ad-
vices from abroad are no more encouraging The
demand for export continues unsatisfactory, but
the feeling is gaining every day that prices are
now at their lowest point, and that an advance
must take place at an early day. The export de-
mand is not any more encouraging, but if we
have to carry large portion of our surplus
stock instead of exporting them, it would be
better than to keep prices down to such unrea
sonably low figures. 1t is now very generally
admitted that our last crop does not exceed $780,,
0OO 900 bushels; that our consumption is $50 000,
600 bushels, including seed, leaving only e, O00,
