INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. %.
The volume of trade this week has been some
thing of an improvement over that of either of
the preceding weeks of the year, yet there is
room for improvement There is q lack of snap
in most departments which has more or less pre-
vailed these many months. which it seems diff
cult to overcome. Then the remarkable steadi-
ness of prices rather encourages the hand to-
mouth method of making purchases, which pre-
vailed during the depressed times Prices are,
on all staple articles, at about the same figures
quoted since the year opened. In produce cir
cles there is fair activity. Eggs are plenty at a
decline of cents per dozen, and prices will likely
decline further. Poultry, except turkeys. is
hardly as firm. There is a largo quantity of
butter on the marker. yet good article sells
quite readily. In groceries there is fair distri-
button in progress; sugars show the same
strength as for some time past; cofees, while not
quotably lower. are hardly as firm as few DAYS
ago. The provision market maintains the re-
cent advances and holders show disposition to
wait for expected better prices.
