a sick little Boston boy petulantly,

mother is perfect, took the dose and
feebly asked for more.

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 or
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 un-
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 conserv-
atism and retard aggressive operations. The
