The Volume of Business Fair, Considering
the Unfavorable Conditions.

The Volume of Business Fair, Considering
the Unfavorable Conditions.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 10.
While the volume of trade in the week closing
to-day has not reached expectations at the COM
ing in of April, yet it is up to what might be ex-
pected when the unfavorable conditions are
taken into consideration. The labor troubles
make country merchants timid in their pur-
chases, they buying only to meet immediate re-
quirements. In speaking of the condition of
trade, the New York Shipping List says:
"The controlling features of general trade and
the existing condition of commercial affairs
throughout the country are not altogether en-
couraging or satisfactory, and the movement of
the past two weeks does not indicate the pro
gressive Improvement that was to be expected in
view of the hopeful feeling that has prevailed.
In almost every department of legitimate trade,
as well as of speculative activity, a spirit OF hes
itation is observed that points to a feeling of IN
certainty respecting the future, and this very
naturally restricts operations and causes a post
ponement of fresh ventures. There is nothing
in the existing condition of affairs that threat
ems to permanently disturb the prosperity of the
country, but there is enough to lead to c0nsery-
atism and retard aggressive operations. The
strikes have, no doubt. resulted in mischief to
industrial enterprise, disorganized trade in many
departments, Fand caused the loss of many thou
sands of dollars, not only to- wage earners and
those who supply them with the necessaries OF
life, but also to invested capital; aud the fact
that the most important of these strikes is no
nearer a settlement than it was q month ago, but
is daily becoming more defiant in its attitude,
together with the threat on the part Of labor of
another general disturbance a month hence in an
effort to enforce an eight-hour rule, is not reas-
surfing to the enormous interests that will be in
volved in such a contest" The local market. to-
day presented few new features. There is a
slightly improved tone to the provision market.
The produce markets are fairly active. Eggs,
poultry and choice butter firm at quotations..
The grocery market is a little tame, prices on
most of the staple articles, however, are steady
and strong.
GRAIN.
Recipes continue unusually light, the better
prices of a few days past not seeming to increase
shipments. AS a consequence, the prices given
below are readily realized:

How to Prune.

Gardeners Monthly.
1t is. indeed, safer to prune not at all than to
have a sharp knife in the hands of an ignorant
man. Much of the indifference the culture of
the dwarf pear has fallen into came about from
the bad mistakes of ignorant primers. 1t is not
at all uncommon to see a dwarf pear tree with all
it's young, vigorous growth cut away-nothiDg
but fruit spurs left. All the force is thus sent
into the Towering condition in the spring. The
trees are mountains of snow-white blossoms; but
few fruit follows. A judicinus thinning out of
weak branches. SO as to get a good form to the
tree, is ABOUT all the pruning required. If there
is q tendency to produce an overproportion of
fruit spurs, cut out a good portion of them.
The apple often requires pruning when some
what advanced In years. The old stunted
branches should be cut out now and then, when
ever a young and vigorous shoot is inclined to
take it's place. Peech trees especially love this
sort of pruning. The grapevine, when trained
on lattice work or trellisses, is very liable to have
it's strong branches at the end of the vine; and
the good primer is ever on the alert to get a
young strong branch up from near the ground.
When he can get this he often takes out an older
one weakened by age or bearing, and replaces 1t
with youth and yigor.
The rule in pruning grape-vines is to shorten
the shoots In proportion to their strength; but If
the advice we have given in former summer
hints has been attended to there will be little
disproportion in this matter, as summer pinch
ing OF the strong shoots has eQualiZed the
strength of the vine. Those who are following
any particular system will, of course. prune ac-
cording to the rules comprising such system. As
a general rule, we can only sag that excellent
grapes can be had by any system Of pruning;
for the only object of pruning in any case is to
get strong shoots to push where they may be de-
sired, or to add to increased vigor of the shoot,
which pruning supposes will follow the act, in
creased size in the fruit it bears.
Blackberries, raspberries and currants are also
much assisted by having the weaker canes
thinned out, and those left shortened a fourth or
fifth of their length. Gooseberries need thin
ming, but not shortening.
