collections are slow, farmers waiting to sell their
corn and hogs. This in turn makes it trouble
some for the former to meet his bills with
the wholesale men; therefore the latter speak
OF collections IS being unsatisfactory. Reports
from other points are varying, but the tone is
usually one OF satisfaction with the volume of
business. There are cities which for years have
held the balance of power in merchandising that
are losing their grip upon the country at large.
and these do not view things in contented
spirit There is too much of this country to rest
at ease under the dictatorship of few cities, and
wisely trade is dividing itself into such portions
as Will best protect its interests. The Indian
apolis Grocer says of the local market: 1.-The
values OF goods are not spasmodic or uncertain,
and even sugars, while weakening, do not make
serious loss to owners. Coffees are steady.
Rice is very cheap, but there is little demand
for 1t; Japan rice is not to be had;
there is some of it offering, but it is damaged
and will not move. Sirups are very dull; the
same old prices prevail Teas are at the bot
tom notch. Salt is without change. Canned
tomatoes are firm; some sales made here
recently at 81! a 80 cents to the retail trade can
not be duplicated. Folks price is 2 cents
advance selling prices. Peaches and all small
fruits are as heretofore quoted Domestic dried
fruits are extremely dull, and the market is easy
all around Rasins of 1883 growth are in light
supply; some CALIFORNIA; arriving this week are
offered below the price of Malagas, but the
foreign fruit runs twenty-five pounds to the
box, while California Loose Muscatels and Lon
don Layers weigh only twenty pounds each.
Ihere is but limited supply of French prunes;
old Turkish are cheaper they can be bough by
cask mere at 4O4x cents; new are not vet to be
mad" The produce market is little tame. In
dications are that eggs and poultry will be lower
next week unless Eastern markets rally.
