Trade q Little Tame, Except In Holiday
Goods-Prices Firm, Tendency Upward.
INDIANAPOLIS Dec. 10.
Trade, as On Thursday, was a little slow to-
day, unless in genuine holiday goods In this
line there is more than the ordinary activity
but staple articles were selling little slow
more especially in the dry goods market, yet
dry goods men are not complaining. as the trade
of the last three weeks has surprised them in
its volume, never before having been reached
since Indianapolis made any pretensions of be-
ing a Wholesale market; in fact, to most branches
Of trade this remark Is applicable. Margins,
however, have been close on goods which were
not caught up in the sharp advances noticed
from day to day. Through these advances some
of our merchants have profted handsomely.
In staple articles there is the strong tone
to prices Of some days past. Coffees and sugars
are held firm at the recent advances. In the
produce markets fair trade is in progress APP
pies are selling we'll at the advanced prices of the
last few days. Potatoes. as WELL are in good de-
mand. Prices, owing to the mildness of the
weather, are barely sustained Eggs are firm,
but no higher. Receipts, however, are light,
and higher prices likely to be realized in the
near future. The poultry market is still under a
clouo, anu Will % so long as inc arrivals are so
large. The provision market. in a jobbing way,
is more active. but little is doing in a wholesale
way. Packers cling to the belief that higher
prices for their products are near at hand. Drug
gists are having good trade; prices, in the
MAN, firm. Opium advanced, to-day, 10 cents,
while chloroform declined cents per ounce.
Arrivals of turkeys are so large thatthe shippers
dropped prices cent per pound last evening.
GRAIN.
The cloud that has hung over the local market
for two or three days past has partially passed
off. and prices are higher and bidding on Change
to-day was quite spirited. The Board of Trade
Price Current says:
"Wheat-Local markets, under light receipts
and good milling demand, is firm and higher.
Sales on call of No. 2 red at 78c. Futures quiet
and markets at both seaboard and Chicago are
a shade frmer. from Ia &c higher No shipping
demand for wheat, prices relatively
higher in local circles than at Eastern points.
'Corn-We note firmer feeling in home mar
kets than yesterday, and, although receipts are
fairly liberal, yet demand for all grades is firm
and active The scarcity of cars and the pros
pective advance in freight rates are not calcu-
lated TO help our local markets, and make ship
pers handle stocks very cautiously. Markets at
other points are firm.
''Oats-All grades strong and some grades
show decided advance"
