kets-Crop Reports Most Encouraging.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 20.
In nearly all departments buoyant tone to
trade prevails. While orders are small, and
much in the way of filing up broken stocks. in
the aggregate they make quite respectable bills.
Travelling statesmen, who came in to-day, report
the outlook very encouraging for fall trade. In
fact, the entire outlook has seldom been better
for an excellent fall trade than at the present
time. Locally, prices in the main rule steady
and strong. The provision market continues to
improve, with an increasing demand for nearly
all descriptions of hog products. The wool
market is hardly as strong as ten days ago, yet
prices, which are now low, are unchanged.
The leather market is taking q decidedly
stronger tone in the East an actual advance has
been established. The firm tone to the poultry
market continues, with an active demand for
young chickens Eggs rule steady; considerable
poor stock arriving. Grocers are still having
brisk trade. Sugars coffees and nearly all sta
prices tending upward rather than lower.
Lemons are in big demand; prices firm. The
hide market is taking on a decidedly strong
tone. The New York Shipping List, in COM
menting on the condition Of trade, says: 'The
commercial. financial and industrial situation
continues to reflect sound and healthy condi-
tons, and although the volume of business in
progress has been, with but few exceptions, of
moderate proportions, which is in keeping with
the quietude usually experienced at this season
of the year, cheerful and confident feel
ing prevails because Of the encour-
aging features of the outlook developed
from day to day. Stocks Of merchandise in the
interior are found to be moderate man ufactur-
ers have kept their supplies of raw material
within the limits Of actual requirements pro-
duction has not been carried beyond the absorb
Tag power of consumption; the great mass of the
laboring classes throughout the country is en-
ployed at remunerativs wages. and this fact fur
nishes foundation for the steady consumption
of all the necessaries of life; money is cheap and
abundant and actively seeking investments in all
profitable enterprises, and the great industries of
the country are gradually working back into the
condition Of prosperity prevailing previous to the
demonstration oflabor disturbances that checked
Improvement. Then, again, the progress of the
summer season is gradually unfolding the riches
of an abundant harvest, and conservative bust
ness men recognize in all the controlling infiu-
ences that now environ the field Of commercial
activity, ample proof Of promising autumn
trade"

The Discharge Of Lake shore Conductors.
CLEVELAND, O., June 26.--By special orders
sent out from the company's headquarters,
some days ago, twenty-five passenger conduct
ors on the Lake Shore s. Michigan Southern
railroad, and it's branches between Buffalo and
Chicago were dropped. Among them many
of the Oldest men on the road. The cause Is still
kept secret at headquarters. but it Is supposed
to BIO the result of sporting" The division su-
perintendents claim to be wholly ignorant Of
the reason, and the men themselves claim inno-
cence OF having violated any rule or regulation
of the road. 1t is not known for a certainty yet
whether the deposition OF these twenty-five men
is a permanent discharge or simply temporary
suspension. The division superintendents sim
ply received orders from headquarters to take
such and such men out OF the service. but
whether this withdrawal is for good, or simply
temporary arrangement neither the division
superintendents nor the men themselves have
been so far advised

Olden times before lamps were the com

relic IS a solid silver candiestick which
was bought by Gen. Toomns about forty
years ago. 1t is an eXqutsitely wrought
piece OF silver, representing a tree and
its branches; at the base is fountain
from which a fox and some deer are drink
ing. The candies5ck weighs twenty
four pounds, aud originally cost $500. II
viii he handed down as an heirloom in
the family.
We were shown on Tuesday at tine
depot the first railroad agents book ever

The Demand for Seed.

1t was the intention Of Com missioner
Henderson a few days ago not TO order
any more tobacco seed for distribution
this year.
rIe had on hand a supply OF Nearly 1000
packages, and was of the impression that
this would be enough to supply the de-
mand. since then he has changed his
mind, and will forward an order at once
for several pounds more. Wednesday he
had on his table nearly 200 applications
Tor tobacco seed, and thinks that the de-
mand for them is likely to continue for
several days yet.
~ am completely surprised" said
the commissioner, "aJ the intorma-
lion contained Ia these let
tiers. In neatly every one of
them the writers sry that tobacco plant
ing is no new thing with them. Many of
them state that they nave cultivated to-
bacco successfully in other states, and
believe that the product will do as well in
Georgia as in Virg'nia, North Carolina,
or Kentucky. From the in formation given
in these letters and the familiarity with
which they refer to the tobacco industry
in all its stages it is easy to see that they
know what they are talking about. EV-
cry mail increases my belief that tobacco
culture in Georgia will bring prosperity
TO many OF our farmers who have failed to
max cotton planting success. / nnd
also by these letters that good many OF
our native Georgians have had some eX-
perience in this line, ana they, too, believe
that tobacco planting will prove success
in Georgia."
sis not the season getting rather late to
put the seed in the grOund?
Not at all, have found out by making
inquiry that il will be safe to plant the
seed as late as the last of February. This
is one OF the reasons why 1 have DEER
mined to order more. You can rest as
-ured that | am going to I'LL every appli-
cation that comes in. The people shall
have seed just as long as they apply for
it,"
Friday afternoon four large mail sacks
Of seed OF every description were left at
the department. They were sent TO Com
missioner Henderson from Washington
by Senator Brown, and are intended for
distribution among the agricultural clubs
OF the State. In this manner they Will be
distributed as early as possible.
Among the cores pOndence received at
the department relating to the tobacco
industry is a postal card from f. +. Glib
bon, OF Walker county, who wants a
capitalist to locate a tobacco factory at
VAUDEVILLE, in that county. He says
mat be will offer fine Inducements for
this purpose.
