Passenear-Rats War at ST. Lonis.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE threatened break in east
bound rates seems inevitable, and the skirmish
has actually begun. Yesterday the Pennsylvania
placed block of tickets u the hands of scalpers
with the natural result of deductng the commission
from the already low rate, round trip tickets to Gin
cnnati now selling at $12, or 81 one way
and to indianapolis at $40 for roundtrip. or SIS
one way, and it is understood that proportionate
cuts being made to all other points East between
st. Louis and Baltimore. The Baltimore & Ohio will
naturally be compelled to meet this cut and with the
strained relations existing between that company and
the Pennsylvania it is said open break is certain
to unless the Objectionable tickets with
drawn. Should the Baltimore 8 Ohio fall into line
the Bee-line cannot keep out The opinion is
pressed that the will not extend into trunk line
territory but will be confined principally to Cincin
natl. Indianapolis and local traffic but once naugu
rated will not stop this side of Baltimore.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Handsome Increase Over the Correspond
ing Week in 1885.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. IL.
The more common remark in trade circles to-day
was that the volume of business had been highly sat
isfactory and handsomely in of any preceding
week of this year. and largely in of that of the
corresponding week in 1885. Among merchants
confidence prevails which promises well for the future
of trade. There is disposition to branch out into
speculation but to the contrary every merchant
with caution, showing that they do not propose to
ter into anything but legitimate business where they
readily ascertain what basis they oper
ating In the local markets there is little to say
The dry goods are busy, and prices are inclined
toward further advance in many lines of goods.
The leather dealers having brisk trade, and
prices rule strong The hide market is active;
prices unchanged. The strong tone to the provision
market is fully SUSTAINED and dealers in hog products
talk bulish The produce men still complaining
of the low prices at which they obliged to sell the
products of the season, but there seems to be
remedy so long receipts unprecedentedly
heavy Eggs are in good request, and will probably
advance to 13c Monday. Poultry is still in large
supply and the demand light Butter begins to sell
better. and if good article be disposed of at
quotations.
Wheat fat to-day, and bidding this cereal
tame. Corn in better position and prices strong,
while oats ruled steady. Prices to-day ranged fol
lows.
