INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Spring-Like Weather Imparts More Life TO
Trade.

INDIANAPOLIS, April II.
The local market opened up to-day fairly
active. The strike scare is gradually losing its
effect and merchants feel more cheerful over the
situation. 1t will doubtless be some days, how
ever, before business, under the most favorable
circumstances, will reach the volume of early
March. The condition of our foreign trade
is one Of the most serious drawbacks upon
business generally. The imports of foreign mer-
chandise and produce are increasing and the ex-
ports continually falling off. and while there is
prospect of substantial Improvement in this re-
spect in the near future, it is nevertheless true
that the lost ground cannot be wholly regained
for many months TO come, and producers are be-
ginning to realize the fact thar they will have to
accept low prices for their wheat, corn and cot
ton; much lower than the speculative tendencies
of the markets tor these staple products for
many months past have led them to expect.
This is q much more important factor with re-
spect to the activity of general trade than at
first appears for the price of wheat and cotton
indir ectlv bears q close relation to the volume
of consumption. and really regulates the pur-
chasing capacity of q very large proportion of
the population. The prospect of abundant crops
undoubtedly stimulates trade, but the market

A Mild Suggestion.

A Mild Suggestion.
Tulare Register.
All persons, aud especially farmers, should
make an effort to have their abiding places
home-like and attractive. Tt isn't necessary to
be bloated bondholder, or have house four
stories high, or to have statues and fountains on
the lawn, in order to have home that bears the
finger marks Of civilization. There is too much
of this eve are-goin back to the old man g. in
the-spring" aspect all over the great West. There
is too much waiting until another quarter section
of land is bought and paid for--too much putting
off the day of convenience and comfort. There
are too MANY of US who do not know what sort
of clay out" we will strike in the great here
after to afford missing what enjoyment can be
got out of this life. There is neither wisdom
nor policy in packing our burdens year in
and year out, burning the candle at
the shores of time just to see how many hard
knocks we can receive in given length of time.
Don't wait till stiffened joints and silvered hair
have you in tow. If you think you haven't time
just now, give the women and girls a chance.
They will find time. although they may now be
doing twice as much work You are. Paint
and whitewash are cheap, and few pickets for
a front yard will not break You mp. Lay off a
patch of ground for listle flower garden and
keep the hogs out of it. Set out some trees and
throw a trellis over the door. Other things will
follow as matter Of course. They will all be
restful and comforting when you get tired and
cross and feel as if yon wanted to kick place
for dormer- window in something or somebody.
II you try this scheme once you will be sur
prised at the change in yourself, as well as ycur
surroundings, and marvel that you went on so
many years making pack animal of yourself
