The Usual January Volume of Trade in Prog
ress, but Not Reaching Expectations.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 49,
A majority of the wholesale men speak of
their trade as being fully up to the usual average
in January, yet not up to their expectations in

other department of trade, and the
forecasts of continued improvement are
based upon features that are equally
substantial and encouraging. The unsettled
condition of the stock market. which is regard
ed as the Wall-street barometer, reflects a tenn
porary disturbance of the speculative temper of
the street. which is always highly sensitive to the
influence OF surface currents, but there is no in
