TRADE AND COMMERCE..
The Volume of business Falling Below Ex-
pectations, Vet Gradually Improving.

INDIANAPoLIs JAM 10.
The volume of business of the week closing
to-day has been an Improvement over that of
The preceding week, yet hardly up to expecta-
tons, and it is daily becoming more and more
evident that the Improvement in trade is to be
gradual, but of healthy character. The belief
prevails that prices nearly all articles are at
the bottom, and will from this on advance rather
than go lower Interesting statistics have beer
collected, showing the decline in wholesale
prices of food since 1870 Prior to 1879 the
prices in domestic markets were largely gov
erned by the premium on gold Since that year
all prices have been gold prices. The following
exhibit shows in general way, the course of

reflected the quiet usual at the close of the week.

The most noticeable point is the steadiness of
the prices of animal food tmeat productsl in the
face of the general decline in agricultural prod
nets. This, 1t is held by some can only sign-
fly that as time goes on o larger proportion of
mankind are able to buy the higher qualities of
food, and this is q convincing proof that the
wages of the laboripg classes are steadily ad-
Yancing, despite appearances TO the contrary.
The low price of wheat, it should be remarked,
however is abnormal produced by causes other
than natural. The local markets rule steady on
most articles Sugars are firm but not Quotably
changed. The same is true of roasted eoffees.

and only intimation | have had
that the people of the State desire q
canvass upon the part o: those who
aspire to the nomination for Govern

Snch n canvass has never been
made IN this State before to my
knowledge, and | see no reason why
there should be departure from
the long established custom at this
time.
My views on public questions
have been frequently announced ia
the people in The different canvasses
l have made, AND, later, in an official
message to the Legislature. If there
is any dissatisfaction with these
views, or any demand for a further
expression of my opinions at this
time, | am not aware of it. whatever
may be the demand for the views OF
other candidates.
You say that it would doubtless
be agreeable to General Feather
ston To participate in the canvass you
suggest. 1t may be true, but | aues.
ton his willingness to retire from
the bench to make canvass of this
character. At all events, | have
not my consent at present to close a

A good subscription was gotten
up 10 this city Monday to establish

defeated by saIoonkeeper on two
