INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
One Of the Best Weeks Trade of the Year
Closes with To-Day

INDIANAPOLIS. May %.
In commercial circles cheerful feeling is noted.
In nearly all departments the trade of the week clos
ing to-day has exceeded that of any preceding week of
1886, and the volume of business for May promises
to exceed that of May, 1885, fully so per cent.
Little complaint is heard of collections. The only
drawback seems to be the small margin at which
goods sold, which must make it apparent to retail
that they should meet their bills promptly
when they fall due. The really lame
market is grain and -four but better things
looked for in the future with these
tcles. Dry goods selling WE'LL prices steady and
strong Hardware having big trade. but
their profits SMALL probably in no department. of
trade goods sold closer Business with the grocers
is Of healthy character. Country merchants still
pursue the hand mouth policy of buying yet in the
aggregate their bills reach quite respectable proper
tons. Fortunately for the wholesale men,
retail grocers coming nearer to pay
ing cash or buying on short credit for their
goods, and IN turn the retail grocer requires his
patron to pay with more promptness. The produce
markets active In the early part of the week the
market overstocked, and prices ruled weak all
along the line. but since Thursday morning receipts
have fallen off, and fair prices have ruled While In
dianapos consumers should have and entitled
as low prices any other market. it is not healthy
for its trade when the shipper does not realize
his property the freight he pays to get it

articles sold this market in the early part of the
week.

For Farmers.

The following suggestions are
made for the benefit Of planters and
cotton shippers by one who has
handle CO. ton and seer It's condition
after reaching the seaports
lst. A bale weighing over 500
lbs is undesirable for the following
reason: In handling (when it is often
necessary to do 90 in g1at has'e5
it is liable to have the bands bnrsted
off at one or both ends, which in
variably causes loss in weight be-
fore or by the time it reaches sea-
mort or the Northern mill to which
It NAV be consigned. The standard
weight of a merchantable bale, is
$50 pounds. The planter loses by
heavy bales, as the bagging and ties
usually cost less per pound than
the cotton sells for. This is so
evident that it is surprising that any
farmers would be so extravaganza IN
baling his cotton, as not to put
plenty of begging and ties on it.
End. Every bale should be
securely scwed up at each head or
end with Irvine. No bale should be
considered ready for market until
ii is properly sewed up with Irvine
MT ravel thread pulled out of the
bageing. Merchants selling bagging
and ties should keep Irvine on hand
aud call the attention Of farmers to
the Importance Of using twlne IN
putting up their cotton.
3rd. Cotton is often ginned he
fore it is properly dried. having
neeu picked just after rain or heavy
morning dews, being put through
the gin and cat to pieces. A fa'
greater amount is damaged by
rushing it through the gin running
at double the speed it should, emitting
and tearing, it to pieces destroying
the fibre, detracting in many )casesssc
pei ID, from actual and merchantabl
value of the staple. The crop
sometimes damaged by bad ginnin!
and handling, which is a clear los
to The tillers Of the soil.
1t would astonish II farmers t.
know how much is lost by careles
handling, picking, ginning and bal
ing their cotton crop. 1t is to tn
interest of onr agriculturalists t
husband their resources, particular
a year like the present when ther
will be a short crop OF this plant
Handle your cotton SO as to &c
