INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
What Will the Business of June BE, the
Leading Topic.

What Will the Business of June BE, the
Leading Topic.
INDIANAPOLIS June 1.
A belief prevails in commercial circles that the
business of June is to show improvement
over preceding months of this year. No boom
is looked for, but a good trade. The wheat crop
| in territory tributary to this market, with a
warm sun and rain, is looking better The corn
and oats crops very promising. These facts,
it is thought, will more or less favorably affect
trade. The week in local circles opened fairly
active. There is continued fair demand for
sugar, and prices are firm as quoted Some
operators look for further advance within the
next few days. The coffee market has been I'M
der the influence of lighter receipts at both Rio
and Santos and with better advices from Europe
prices have been fairly well maintained At
the same time the deliveries are looking up.
Mild coffees have not been so active and while
prices have been supported no advance has been
made. The produce markets are active. Receipts
of poultry and eggs are quite liberal, although
the demand equals the supply, and prices are
firm The arrivals of green stuf-straw berries,
currants and goOSeberries-were large to-day;
prices weak. George Merritt & Co., wool deal
ers in their circular of May 80. say: 1.-THE only
notable feature of the wool market is the alb
sence of Eastern buyers, while all correspond
ence with Eastern manufacturers develops a
strong bearish feeling; but we can see no good
reason for changing our opinion of the value of
wool, and continue quotations. Bright Indiana
medium unwashed wool. 18c; for heavy merino
and very coarse wool. 15c; tub washed, % 027c
bury, trashy and cotted wool, 10 l2c. Answers
to our inquiries of last week have been quite
general, and indicate that about one third OF the
clip has been brought to market and sold at our
quotations. while only two localities report sale
of second hand lots at prices paying a very small
margin for handling. Indications point to an
active movement from second hands during the
next week. From few localities we hear of
sheep not shorn yet. Buyers should be cautious
in buying the late ,shorn wool. 1t is very liable to
be injured
The local market opened tame and showed
but little, if any, improvement at the close
The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat
Local markets exhibit the effect Of dullness
and decline at all points and all grades are from
sc to lie lower. Futures develop freer sellers, but
buyers fail to materialize. Receipts light" We

The washington Market,

As Washington was the father Of his
country, 50 is the Washington Market
Of Cheyenne the father Of all the meat
markets of this city. Mr.. H. r. Bres-
nahen, the proprietor of this well known
market is the pioneer butcher of the
Magic City. He has been supplying our
people for so many years, That he knows
exactly what they want, and he always
manages to have it on hand. His market
is famous for fine beef and mutton, as be
buys fat stock in large quantities, slaugh-
tens his own cattle, the best and latest Of
the herd, and feeds the remainder on hay
and grain at his ranch until in prime con-
dition. Thus he manages to exhibit at
the Washington Market the fine beef
and mutton daily exposed for sale there
and which attract the attention of all
Dassers-by, many Of them wonder
ing at the excellent quality OF
beef produced in this country. For
the Christmas holidays the Washing
ton market offers many other delicacies
and tidbits, such as quail, grouse and rab-
bits. turkeys, ducks and geese without
number; also all the various vegetables,
fruits and other delicacies of the season.
Housekeepers who 90 marketing this
morning should call at the Washington
market and inspect the immense quaint
ties of supplies on exhibition there. They
are bound to be pleased with the quality
Of the goods as well as with the prices at
this market; and the attending statesmen

ing, and experts in the art of meat cary.
ing. If you want a first-class Christmas
dinner-all hat these words imply-and
desire to enjoy the good things of this
world, 90 to the Washington market,
where they are SO plentiful and so excel
lent in quality.

Tho Forests OF siberia.
Herall

The Russian journal of the finance
minister has published a long article on
the forests of eastern Siberia, of which
the following are the principal passages
THE immense forests of pine, larches,
frs, cedars, birches, aspens and lines
which form almost the exclusive wealth
of this vast region belong for the greater
part to the state. During a great num-
Der of years this source OF wealth was
almost entirely unproductive. 1t is
only since 1883 that a more or less reg
ular administration of forests has been
established, and at the present time the
extent OF the forests in eastern Siberia
is estimated at i2,335, $50 deciatines
about eleven square yards each. These
are divided between Tobolsk, Tomsk,
emipalatinsk and Akmolinsk.
of these forests 81, 355, 760 decia-
tines have been accurately surveyed,
and so, 979, $40 have been valued APP
proximately. enc hundred and FIVE
forests have been conceded to the peas
ants, and they have an extent Of 10 g.
2+0 deciatines. In comparison with
their enormous extent, the forests OF
eastern Siberia give at the present time
but an Insignificant revenue. The
want of means OF communication and an
insufficient population greatly hinder its
development. Still, the revenue is in
creasing, for in 1876 it was only 40, 900
roubles, and in 1885 it was more than
III, 900. The chief center of the trade
is the town of Tomsk, and then Tumen,
which is the point of departure for tho
river traffic"

In spite of the opposition encountered
by our protest against cigarette smok-
ing, which, it will 10 rememl cred, first
raised the question about this form of
of the use of tobacco, it is now gener-
ally admitted that we were right and
our opponents wrong in the matter.
The rapid consumption of the finely
shredded leaves very close to the mouth
has been proved to render the practice
of smoking cigarettes peculiarly OBJ
jectionable. Moreover, it has been
shown that, although the use of a tube
and the provision Of a plug of cotton
will lessen the evil, they do not wholly
deprive the cigarette Of its oh. ectionable
qualities.
We are not, as is well known, advo-
Gates of the disuse Of tobacco If moder-
ately and wisely employed it is a valua-
BILE sedative to the nerves, and has an
especially soothing influence in the ma
jority Of instances. There are, how
ever, certain properties of the tobacco
smoke which ought to be more generally
understood. 1t is unquestionably in
some way a special sedatiye to the
hearts action.

1t is a deadly poison, and prolonged in
dulgence is certain determination. The
effects are something like that of an
opiate, except that it is by far more
powerful, half a grain being sufficient
to cast one into a sleep that bears the
closest resemblance to death. A pallor
spreads over the features, and the heart

The manufacturing interests Of Chill
labor under the weight of fitful work.
A gentleman long resident here says
that it is a very significant factor in all
pro ects, rendering business uncertain
and expensive. A laborer thinks moth
ing of quitting work without a mo-
ment notice and the slightest change
of machinery, or mode Of work, though
a benefit to the workman as well as EN-
ployer, is followed by cessation of work
on the part of the former.
] have already mentioned the insta-
bility Of workmen addicted to drink. A
little money on Saturday gives the man
enough to be intoxicated for days and
often the factory will be without its
full quota of help for three days, and
then the operatives return slowly. And
yet the people seem industrious and the
credit OF the republic is first rate.

man firing the shot wa to kill. 1t is high
time that the officers of the law should
enforce the statute against carrying on
cealed weapons. 1t is a fact that in many
Of the saloons in this city there are nightly
assembled a large number of men who arc
"heeled, - and they should be arrested and
punished as the law provides. There is
not the shadow Of a necessity for carrying
arms in this city Mt the present time. The
man who carries a revolver ia either con
scious Of having committed a crime or
ready TO commit one on the slightest pre-
text, He should be made p~eaceable and
inoifensive by being deprived of his means
to do bodily harm OF to kill. He should
be protected against himself, and his fell
lowmen should be protected against the
would.be murderer--for a man carrying a
loaded revolver in a peaceable community
is a murderer in intent-he intends to use

characters wert mostly taken by the
young people. They were dressed in
appropriate costumes TO suit the leading
characters of the book taken.
Interest in the entertainment was
largely augmented by the fact that each
person had carefully studied his or her
part that the character was acted out in
close imitation Of Dickens most striking

Dora could be seen sitting close together,
apparently engaged in their loye-talk or
discussing the difficulties of household
management. In Dora's arms was her
favorito little black-and tan over which
she could not ma 20 enough fuss, feed

characters were especially well taken,

Family silver lIoitad In tho Mint.


in the spring OF 49," said Col.
Loudon snowden, ex-superintenient u
the mint, II received a collection of the
most exquisite silyerware, with instruc-
tons to melt it down. 1t had been the
property of Joseph Ronaparte, and was
presented to him by his brother, the
emperor. Joseph lett 1t to his private
secretary, and it was the latter who.
previous to his going away, desired it TO
be melted down. Much of the plate
was mounted with gold and SO skillfully
that you might have supposed hat the
precious metal would weigh pounds,
though, when it was all reduced, there
was hardly any gold to speak Of. The
regret Of my lie is that | was not rich
enough to buy the plate, though not
unlikely the secretary would have been
too proud to sell it,"
In the old days" continued Col.
Snowden, heaps of family silver used
to come to the mint to be melted
down from people who had met with
financial reverses. During the last
days OF my incumbency Of the Office of
superintendent much less used to come
than formerly, because plated ware had
come into general use. | remember
once that a gentleman very well known
in Philadelphia society brought me n
splendid design in silver that he desired
to have reduced. 1t was a gift to his
wife on their wedding and the thought
OF parting with it was very painful to
him 1t had cost probably s. 1000. but
there was not more than $500 worth Of
bullion Instead of melting it ut once
| advanced him the money for six
months, and allowed the design to re-
main in the vaults. At the end of that
time agreed to keep it intact for six
months mort AT the contamination
of tho second period he saw mo and said
he could not sec daylight yet, and the
bridal gift went into the melting pot.
Three weeks after that he dropped in on
me to say that fortune had smiled on
him again and that he had made $50
900. He said he would have given half
of it TO get his silver back to its old
form. Vain regrets, of course. The
man is now wealthy
