INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
In Most Departments the Tone of the Mar
ket Is Strong-Flour Market Again OFF,


ket Is Strong-Flour Market Again OFF,
INDIANAPOLIS. July Is.
The tone of the various markets, especially for
manufactured goods is reported strong, and all
parties unite in confident expectations of i good
paying business as soon the autumn business
fairly opens. Dry goods men are having consd-
cradle trade where merchants are patching up
broken stocks. or buying class of goods that
have been selling quite readily. OF course the
purchases are for immediate requirements Fall
goods, both cotton and wooden show a hardening
tendency. Staple groceries rule firm and in good
request. The demand for sugar has fallen off
somewhat, but prices are well maintained.
Coffee rules firm at the recent advances Poul-
try, eggs and butter are steady at quotations.
The demand for hens is as great as
for young chickens, which is rather
unusual in this market The provision and
wool markets present no new features The
strong prices are we'll maintained. The -four
market has passed under another cloud. and
weak prices again rdle. In commenting on this
market, the Boston Journal of the l4th says:
'The flour market took decided turn upward a
few days ago, but like many previous turns of a
similar kind, based on speculative advance in
wheat, it had brief existence. We are not
surprised that the market became excited from
slight cause, because -four has been altogether
too low for long time past and the business
most unsatisfactory to all connected with the
trade; but with large surplus of wheat. and
-four that must find an outlet, and a new crop
of winter wheat already on the market. we do
not see how prices can go beyond the exporting
point and the advices from Great Britain and
the continent are not very encouraging. To in
sure permanent and reliable advance, the news
from abroad will have to be of a different char
acter. We hope to see more active movements
before the close of the year. but not in the i'm
mediate future, and it was not surprising to US
that -four advanced on higher prices for wheat
only to recede a few days afterward"
GRAIN.
Receipts of wheat continue large, and prices
are shade lower again to-day. Corn ia higher,
and closed firm at our quotations. Oats, as
we'll are higher. Prices today ranged as fol-
lows:

Western Union was materially assisted by large

that the meeting of granger presidents in Chi

They were not bad boys. In ftct, taken
