INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Decided Improvement I'm Trade and the
Outlook More Encouraging.

INDIANAPOLIS. March G..
The volume of trade in the week closingto day
has besn quite satisfactory in nearly all depart
ments. Travelling statesmen came in yesterday
with fuller lines of orders than for any week in
many months. The dry goods. the hardware
men and grocers more especially feel the i'm
provement. and with them prices are Arm all
along the line. Sugars. ~coffees, canned
goods and foreign fruits are selling
freely, and the FISH trade is assuming
larger proportions. The produce markets were
more active to-day. Receipts of eggs large;
prices dropped to Ii cents and will likely drop to
10 cents per dozen Monday. Poultry 10 firm, and
choice butter is in better demand-prices no bet
ter. Tameness still broods over the hide
market, while the tone of the provision market
is rather stronger. Packers are not anxious to
sell at present prices. The New York Shipping
List. speaking of trade generally. says:
THE situation is still one of confident expecta-
ton, not only with respect to the early develop
ment of trade and industrial activity. but also
with reference to speculative operations. The
steady increase in the imports for foreign mer-
chandise since the year opened indicates that
importers and dealers have been stocking up
literally in anticipation of an active spring trade,
which, after the experience of the past two
years. would scarcely be the case if there was
not a very confident feeling respecting the fu.
ture. The satisfactory condition of industrial
enterprise is due in no small degree to the steady
absorption of manufactured products with same
purpose In view. and the waiting aspect Of specu-
lation is the result Of the confident feeling that
predominates, that the tendency of commercial
affairs is towards Improvement. The past month
has developed some progress in the solution of
problems that have an important bearing upon
the future, and the final settlement of these cues
tions is now being watched with interest. for
their definite settlement will in no small degree
stimulate the whole field of trade and CONNER
cisl activity. For instance, the export move
ment is steadily working into q more satisfactory
position. the decline in the valueo Of wheat and cot
ton promising an outlet for our surplus supplies
Of these important staple products, and that is

The money loss to Charleston by the earth
puake is much greater than by the cyclone

The money loss to Charleston by the earth
puake is much greater than by the cyclone
last year.
The South Carolina Railroad track near
Charleston is twisted like snakes, and nc
trains left the city to-day by any road.
Except one, all telegraph wires are down
and that one is overcrowded and not able to
answer the demand for telegraphic communi-
cation. With the single exception OF that
lire of telegraph wire Charleston is entirely
cut off from all communication with the out.
side world, and we have no hope OF the imme-
diate restoration of communication except by
brief kilograms.
Owing TO damage sustained by the earth
quake, 1t was impossible to issue the News
and Courier to-day, and even If 1t had been Is
sued, it could not have been mailed TO Its sub
scribers outside of the city.
Among the killed are NJ. I. Lynch, DR.. B.
Alexander Hammond, and Ainsley Robson.
The track of the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad is under water for twenty miles
from Charleston.
There is no gas in the city and darkness
prevails at night.
The streets are full Of rubbish and debris
from the injured buildings.
Fissures have appeared in the earth in va
rious places, eIn lifting fine sand. The smell of
sulphur Is perceptible.
The shock was severe in Augusta and Co.
lumbia, but no loss of life and no great DAM
age To property 'hasbeen reported.
Two trains were ditched near Langley. In
each accident a fireman was killed. No 9TH
or loss of life is reported in the United States.
The Langley Mill and the Bath Mill ponds
were broken by the shock, and the track was
washed away, which caused the accidents
whereby the firemen were killed.
