INDIANAPOLIS MARKET.
The Extreme Heat and Continuous Rains In
terfering with Trade.

The Extreme Heat and Continuous Rains In
terfering with Trade.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug IT
As might be expected, the unusually long
heated term and frequent rains are acting un-
favorably to trade. While in volume it is in ex-
cess Of that Of the corresponding period last
year. it is not as active as it would be were the
weather little more bearable. The fact is that
every man who can well remain in the shade is
awaiting cooler weather before spreading more
canvass in any branch Of business. No one
doubts that there is to be good fall trade and
that it will set in early. In most departments
low prices will continue to rule, but even
on flour it is believed that bottom has been
touched. In dry goods possibly slight advances
may he established, SO sharply has production
been cut down the last eighteen months. Gro
ceries are moving out freely; in coffees firmer
tone is noticeable, more especially roasted stock.
Sugars are unchanged but firm Seldom do
prices in groceries fuctuate as little as during
the last few months The prices of to-day diff
fer but little from those or six months ago The
produce markets are active, but prices are at the
bottom notch and pay for handling Seldom do
fruits and vegetables sell at so low figures in
this market as at the present time Prices
of poultry and eggs, however, average well
with those of former years. The provision mar
ket continues strong and sales large. The wool
market is quiet The Boston Commercial Bull
ietin saws: 1.-THE general impression of manu-
facturers seems to be that wool is ultimately
bound for higher plane. but that by refraning
from purchasing for the next thirty days they
may be able to lay IN supply of cheap wool

from the more timid holders There is no doubt
that manufacturers have been and are still pros
pering. Last season was successful and al
though no great advance If any, is as yet OBJ
tainabie on goods over last year, the demand is
excellent at last years figures the clothing trade
reports an encouraging opening Of their fall goods
and the prospect is certainly bright Meanwhile
those mills which had the wisdom to lay in heavy
stocks of wool at the ruinously low prices preva-
lent in the spring can make money at the old
rate for goods. Reactions, at least temporary
reactions such as were threatened last week, are
not deferred by the strongest position Of the
market statistically and otherwise The chief
points of interest in the goods market are a rise
of cents pound in fine worsted yarns and the
opening Of the Bedford and the Putnam cassi-
meres at an advance of 5 cents yard over last
years figures. the first steps in the right direc-
ton. Fine foreign worsted yarns have advanced
to an equivalent of 20 cents pound
The receipts of wheat are light and prices
strong at quotations. which are slightly higher
than on Monday. Corn is active but prices

THE CONGO RAILWAY.
The Bold Enterprise of Confident Manches-
ter Merchants.

The Bold Enterprise of Confident Nfanches-
ter Merchants.
Some of the most responsible of Nam
chester merchants have given their sup
port to the new railway syndicate for
constructing line ON the banks of the
Congo. The plan of the promoters is to
connect by railway the enormous stretch
of navigable river above Leopoldville on
Stanley Pool with the eight hundred
miles of waterway below Nokki. Should
the project succeed it is hoped to devel-
op an extensive trade with the heart of
Africa. Goods will be brought down all
the tributaries of the mighty river from
regions to be measured by tens of thou
sands of square miles, to the starting
point of the new line, thence carried to
Nokki by rail, and reshipped from
that port for Europe and to the New
World. The design is bold, almost to
temerity; but the names of the promot-
ers seem to show that there is money in
it. Business men do not sink couple
of millions in barely civilized quarters
of the earth without satisfying them
selves of fair prospect of profit. Per-
haps the chief gains looked for in Man
chester are to be derived from trade
rather than dividends. But, after all,
the one involves the other. If 1.-The
Congo Valley Road opens up new
markets to Manchester, it will bring;
profits to its adventurous shareholders
and if these are left empty-handed, it
can only be because the merchants do
not thrive.-St James Gazette.
