AT this season fowls are passing through their
moulting, and, if not well fed, will not lay many
eggs before spring. 1t is a common mistake 10
suppose that it is economy to let fowls pick up'
their living without grain feed during the sum-
mer. They will do it after fashion, but at an
expense ten fold greater than the cost of regu-
lar grain ration. 1t is not advisable to overfeedi
fowls to the verge of fairness, but there is little
danger of this while they are moulting. Give
them variety of grains, including wheat screen
ings, and have water always by them, in which n
lump of copperas has been dissolved. This will
soon give the combs bright red color, and if the
hen is worth keeping over winter she will begin
to lay before cold weather.

| dustrv, having provided for their future
| wants of raw material are taking delivery of
| their purchases without increasing the volume
| OF fresh business The result is that trade has
| assumed quieter aspect, and in some depart
ments the falling off in the demand has led to an
easier feeling and more disposition to sell even
at sight concession The change that has
taken place is due rather to the difference that
always exists between the buoyant tendency
that accompanies an active demand and the
subdued temper of trade that is less spirited,
and not because of the developments of any I'M
favorable features with respect to the future
outlook. General trade has taken substantial
step forward and upward. and now awaits the
natural response from the increased require
ments of the country for consumption, upon
which 1t was based. Meanwhile hopeful feel
ing prevails together with disposition to act
with caution and conservatism. Business
recognize the favorable conditions of the outlook
but are inclined to await their natural develop
ment rather than attempt to further discount

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Dizziness of the Early Part of the Week
Passing Off.

Passing OFF.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 8.
The dizziness which brooded over the local
market the three first days of the week has ap-
parently passed off, and all along the line to-
day activity was noticeable. In the grocery
market orders by mail and otherwise were nu-
merous. Sugars rallied again East yesterday,
and are firm at the prices quoted to-day here A
reduction in prices of foreign fruits will be
noticed. Coffees steady. For canned goods
there is increased demand. In produce
prices range as for some days past.
Potatoes, cabbage and apples selling more
freely. The egg and poultry market is firm at
quotations given. The New York Shipping List,
of Oct G. says Money continues in abundant
supply and cheap; speculative operations have
been of subdued character, the stock market
alone displaying bulish temper, and the in
dustrial situation is without important change
The home distributive trade has lost the sharp
edge recently observed. and although in some
instances the markets retain steady tone and
fairly maintain the improvement established
others have displayed an easier tendency, while
in all the demand has sensibly decreased The
urgent requirements of buyers have been salts
fed for the time being, and dealers who stocked
mp in anticipation of a better demand are now
awaiting the absorption of their supplies by act
ual consumption, while the manufacturing in
