INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Somewhat Tame, the Warm Weather
Having an Influence

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 20.
The volume of trade in the week closing to-day fell
short of that of either of the preceding weeks of this
month Merchants attribute it largely the unusual
warm weather for September: then again. large num-
bers of merchants will be in the city next week to
attend the State fair and doubtless awaiting their
coming to the city to purchase goods The dry goods
men seem the most affected Grocers, hardware men,
leather dealers and druggists to be quite busy
What is really needed to give snap to trade is
good sharp frost. Prices to-day showed but little
change. Sugars are firm at quotations while coffees
weak at the prices named. Other staple articles
in the grocery line steady. The hide men are hav-
ing quiet times the little squirt of few days ago hay
ing died away 1t is many months since this mar
ket has shown much activity unless for few days at
a time. The provision market has taken a steadier
tone. but little is doing here the stocks about
exhausted There still lard and short ribs and
that about the holdings The produce men are
growing prices still ranging low They are
patiently awaiting cooler weather expecting an i'm
provement in trade with its coming The New York
