INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Cheerful Sun and More Spring-Like Air
Gives Some Snap to Trade.

A Cheerful Sun and More Spring-Like Air
Gives Some Snap to Trade
INDIANAPOLIS. March %.
The spring-like weather gave more life to
trade than has been noticeable for some DAYS
past and the belief prevails that the business of
April, il weather conditions continue favorable,
will come in with flying colors. The volume of
trade this month has hardly reached expecta-
tions. but it is possible too much had been ex-
pected. But the weather through the entire
month to date has been colder than usual,
which has delayed spring business, especially
have the dry goods men felt it. While those in
business have done more than in March 1887, it
should be borne in mind that the wholesale houses
here are one less account of the retirement
of Byram g Cornelius from business. Groceries
doing good business this week Sugars
and cotfees both firm in tone and the former
tending to further advance. Supplies OF rice
are reported to be small and the position is such
to indicate an advance in prices. In spices
but little is doing. There is an active demand
for canned goods and some descriptions are
nearly exhausted. The produce markets were
quite active to-day, potatoes for table use and
for seed in brisk demand Eggs coming in more
freely, but prices are well sustained q brisk
local demand. Butter and poultry firm and
steady. The provision market shows more &C.
tivity, but prices are still too low suit the
views of the packers. Better weather. it is
thought, will increase demand and improve the
prices. We to-day commence quoung wholesale
as well as retail prices Sweet picked hams
81 "a 104c, according to average; sweet picked
shoulders, 63c; clearrib sides. TIC; prime steam
lard, 73c. The seed market Is active, at I'M
changed but firm prices.
GRAIN.
There was fair attendance on Change to-
day. and the bidding was quite spirited on the
three leading cereals. The Board of Trade
Price Current says: Receipts and shipments
show bat little change in the movement of
grain. Local receipts are better, inspections for
the past twenty-fo hours being nineteen cars
against ten cars for the preceding day. Wheat
market continues dull. The small offerings are
readily taken, but the market is in no shape to
stand any material increase in the receipts with
out breaking. A slight increase IN the TO arrive
offerings noticeable. White corn is quoted
slightly higher, with no sellers, the trade re-
ports that the country has during the past two
days been offering considerable white corn, but
at prices above their reach. Their present bids
outside figures, and in fact closer TO the
price of the product than they should pay. Yell
low and mixed grades are rather quiet. yellow
being quoted fraction lower On the call there
was little bidding for corn, yet trade are un-
able to get choice quality in any amount. The
common and poor is slow sale. Oats are
some weaker. yet choice white continues to be
sought after" Track bids to-day ruled as fol-
lows:
