Au on Week in Trade, with but Few FIuct
nations In Values.
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 10.
Trade during the week closing to-day has
been unusually small in volume. Beside the
political excitement, which upset things, the
weather has been unfavorable, heavy rains
and bad country roads adding to the
weeks bad record. The wholesale men
look for brisk trade as
the weather becomes somewhat settled. as
stocks carried by the country merchants are at
low point, especially staple articles. such as
coffees, sugars and tess. the belief prevailing
with them that the present range in prices on
these staple articles cannot long be main
tanned. There is tameness still brood
ing over canned goods, views as regard the
quantity canned varying. Gamers, however.
show a determination to keep prices up by rep
resenting that less quantity of fruits and
tomatoes canned than IN the season of 1887
In the way Of beans. peas and corn they admit
that the supply is ample. The prodnce markets
have dragged little the last week, eggs
being the only article which carried strong
tone, and on which prices tended higher. Poul-
try is steady at the recent reduction: receipts
have dropped of somewhat Butter is more
plenty. but good article is readily
sold. Il was an off week with the dry goods
men, their sales dropping considerably below
those of the week preceding. Prices, however,
rule firm all along the line; even wooden goods :
unsettled and prices ofish. The wool marks. is
taxing better shape. The hide market has drift
ed under another cloud; the market is active
enough but prices are not satisfactory. Lemons
are in light supply. and, as well, but few are
wanted. Oranges are coming in more freely
and of some better quality. and the demand is
improving. Other foreign fruits are moving
more freely as the holidays draw near.
