Business Better, with Slightly Milder Weather
still Much ROOM for improvements.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1S.
With less severe weather, trade improved
somewhat, to-day, in several departments more
especially in the produce and grocery markets.
Eggs still bring exorbitant figures, some retail
grocers having the cheek to demand 45 cents per
dozen. Receipts are SO light light however, that ship
pers are getting none at prices they can afford
to pay and then ship to Eastern markets Choice
butter continues to meet with a fair demand, but
poor stock is hard to work off at any price
Poultry continues in small supply, and produce
dealers report that it sells more readily than any
thing they can get dressed sells better than live
There is a fair demand for potatoes and apples;
prices firm at quotations. Groeers report coffee
Hrmer. Favorable advices from the producing
and European markets strengthened the bean in
the importing markets of this country. The re-
eeipts at Rio Janeiro have fallen off to 1000
bags and the stock there was reduced to l20.0O0
bags on the 18th inst In New York and Baiti-
more prices were frlner, at 9lc for fair cargoes,
holders refusing to make the slightest conces-
sions. Our market is firm and the demand is
moderately active. Mild coffees unchanged but

steady. Rice Is firm. Teas are strong, and an

TO the blockade of the port of Shanghai by the
