A Fair December Trade in Progress-Prices
Steady-Collections Easier.

Steady-COIlectfOnS Easier.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec IL.
Merchants, as rule, report trade fair, with
prices unusually steady and collections easier
than at any time for many months Country
merchants, of course, are now purchasing only
for immediate requirements, and as stocks are
low good January trade is looked for. 1t is
admitted by the most chronic grumblers that we
enter 1866 with better prospects for trade than
any new year for three years past Corn is coming
on to the market briskly. The hog crop is
| already pretty we'll sold, and higher prices for
hogs rather than lower may now be looked for.
With all this money that is flowing more freely
In this and adjoining States one unfavorable
feature Is that the foreign commerce of the
country stays about as it has been for three
months past, and there no signs of revival in
the export demand for wheat. 1t Is pitiful to
see continued speculation in wheat for higher
prices, while we cannot sell our exportable sur
plus but the opinion remains so strong in Amer
lean markets that the foreign demand will yet
come up to American views. that nothing differ
emit can at present be expected. There is an i'm
proved demand for provisions for export, more
especially lard. The poultry market is over
stocked Prices weak. The egg market is still
firm. Vegetables, onions. potatoes and cabbage
are meeting with better sale. Prices frmer.
Apples are still in large supply. Prices low.
Cranberries plenty and cheap. Sugars again
show more strength. Coffees rule steady. Canned
goods moving out little freer.
GRAIN.
