INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Reported Fairly Active in Most Depart

Trade Reported Fairly Active in Most Depart
ments-Country Merchants Cheerful.i
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug Is.
In most departments merchants speak of the
trade as being fairly active for August, and col
lections as quite satisfactory Travelling sales
men speak of country merchants being in good
spirits, so promising is the outlook for crops and
so cheerfully are farmers paying up their bills.
From the sale of their wheat, oats and other
produce that comes early on to the market they
have received money sufficient to greatly re-
lieve Them and with the promise Of big corn crop
and good prices for hogs, the farmers are getting
into better shape financially than they have been
for many years.
Locally there were but a few changes to note
The poultry market is weak at the reduced quo
tations of Wednesday. The egg market, as
well. is decidedly fiat, with good deal of poor
stock coming in Butter if choice, will sell at
our quotations, but poor stuff is sold for grease
at two or three cents per pound. Delaware
peaches are on the market, and are of excellent
quality. Melons of all kinds are abundant, of
Indiana production, and are selling cheap.
freely and the best will not bring over 50 per
barrel Grocers are rather surprised at the vol
ume of their trade when the weather is so ex-
tremely hot. The travelling statesmen are COM
ing in with good orders, and country merchants
show q disposition to stock mp more freely than
at any time for many months Sugars are not
in as strong position as early in
the week. Coffees are steady but not
moving out so briskly as would be
expected, the impression being that present prices
will not be long maintained. The provision mar
ket continues in strong positition and the ten
dency is still upwards, specially for hams. Au-
gust is month of little business on its own ac-
count, but it is one full of signs for the future
and in the present month these all point to in
creasing orders for the fall trade. Current

CHICAGO. March 20.-Much interest
is being taken in the exposition of the
products of Southern California, which
is to open here next Tuesday. Tonight
the great interior Of Battery "D' Arm
ory, where the exhibition is to take
place, presented scene of decided ami
nation. A large force of workmen,
under the direction of four representa-
tives of the California Immigration So
ciety, were busy with hammer and saw,
rapidly bringing order out Of chaos OF
lumber, decorations and boxes, which
have been switched in the structure by
the railway companies. Reporters and
other searchers after information kept
up an almost continuous demand on the
time Of the Immigration Commissioners.
The surrounding confusion and bus
tie were strangely in contrast with
the beauty Of the date palm and
orange and lemon trees. Their dark
green foliage was brought into promi-
nence by the electric lights overhead
and were a source Of constant admira-
ton. The plans for the exhibit, the
Commissioners said, are now complete,
and the work is progressing in a manner
that seems to assure satisfactory open
ing on the appointed day. In Battery
d the managers have secured excellent
facilities in regard to light and heat that
were lacking in the Exposition
building. Both buildings are equal
ly well located and those in charge
Of the citrus fair, as it is known here feel
that with the hearty cooperation they
are getting from the municipal authori-
ties and others from whom they sought
assistance that the enterprise will be a
profound success. They say that al
ready the curiosity aroused by The en-
terprise and work has been considerable
to pave the way for more intimate rela-
tions between Chicago and Southern Cal
ifornia
