The Week Opens Favorable to Trade, and
the Future Promising.

1ne week Opens Favorable to Trade, and
the Future Promising.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 16.
A cooler air, and rains having fallen in quaint
ties sufficient to insure good corn crop in the
territory tributary to this market is having
favorable influence upon the trade. Wholesale
men are in excellent spirits Collections are easy
as compared with few months ago, and coun-
try merchants are stocking up with more free
dom than at any time in many months, II not
years. large per cent. of country merchants
who were tricky as regards paying their bills,
have been weeded out or are refused credit, and
business in the territory which makes up the
trade of Indianapolis is certainly on healthier
basis than at any time in years past
In prices to-day there were few changes. Dry
goods rule in nearly all lines strong, with ten
deney to higher prices. In groceries there Is
little new to note. Sugars are not specially
strong, and coffees. while unchanged, are in
stronger position than in the early part of the
month. There is a tendency TO higher prices on
salt fish, especially mackerel. In speaking of
this market the Boston Herald says the mack
erel situation is the chief attraction. Buyers
are beginning to realize that there is likely to be
very light supply of mackerel this year, and
that prices must soon materially advance. Yes
sells are returning from the North bay with good
fares, but the season is now more than half over,
and the catch to date is a mere trife compared
with the total at this time last year. According
to the Boston Fish Bureaus report there is now
deficiency of las, 531 barrels. the total quantity
landed by the New England feet this year being
only 1887 barrels, against 172. 06S barrels
year ago. Under the most favorable circum
stances the bay fleet cannot land much over 100,
600 barrels more this year, which would bring
the total catch up to little more than one-third
of last year, and not much more than one-fourth
of the catch of 1884 This estimate is based
the supposition that the shore catch is failure,
as is generally conceded. If any large schools
of mackerel should strike in along our coast the
situation would be changed, but no such good
fortune is expected. Under these circumstances
nobody will be surprised to hear that prices are
advancing" In produce circles there is little
new to note. The supply of fruit is abundant
and the range Of prices seldom lower, and 30
large are arrivals that an early improvement is
not probable. Poultry ia duh, Eastern demand
light Butter, unless choice, is, as well, difficult
to dispose of.

Wheat opened strong and continued so through
the day, with an active demand. Corn was lit

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Mark Lane Express,
in its review Of the British grain trade during
the past week. says: Unsettled weather has re-
tarded harvesting, which will be very late.
Wheat has rusted and widowed to an extent
greatly affecting the quality, and everything
points to q deficient wheat crop English wheat
is firmer, and prices are against buyers. The
sales Of English wheat during the past week
were A, 120 quarters, at 32s Cd, against 81, COL
quarters, at 33s Id during the corresponding pe-
Rod of last year. The foreign wheat trade is In
animate; the purchases are only of a retail
nature. Corn on the spot is against buyers
Fourteen cargoes of wheat arrived. Three car
goes were sold. including one of California, at
33s Sd; one was Withdrawn. and seven remained.
Trade forward is quiet there is desultory in
auiry for California which is momentarily
against buyers. To-day the market was very
firm, but quiet. English wheat Is dearer
and foreign Cd dearer. Flour was 06d dearer,
and corn was Cd dearer. Beans and peas were
steady. Barleys were unsteady.
