The Trade IF the Week Hardly Up to the
Average OF Preceding Ones.
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 81.
In no branch of trade has the volume of bust
ness In the past week reached expectations.
There has been a dragging tendsncy which Is
explained by the interest taken in politics and
the unfavorabls weather which prevailed on
three days of the week. Fluctuations in values
have been few. and 10 most cases upward in
their tendency. In groceries, coffees are ] cent
higher than a week ago. and canned
goods have taken on a frmer tone
with reported scarcity OF certain
descriptions. Sugars have been somewhas I'M
settled for three days past, and although no
changes were made 10 this market. they went
of / cent in the East, but to-day were reported
taking on q trmer tone. Druggists are having
q good trade. Several articles are I'D vanclne In
their tendency, turpentine and oils being OF the
number. The flour market Is unsettled. The
article IL by no means rs firm as two weeks ago,
although there lie = good demand for certain
grades. The WOO. market rules quiet. In the
produce markets trade is fairly active. Receipts
of apples are liberal. Choice, fancy eating ap-
pies can be bought at 81. 20 per barrel. To bring
50 they would needs be extraordinarily
selling on track to-day at % cents per bushsl.
Beans are frrn st the recent advance; early
frosts nipped the crop badly, it is stated. Re-
ceipts of cranberries are liberal; prices firm.
The stock OF grapes 10 rapidly disappearing:
there are but few Delawares on the market.
Peaches and pears, as well, are about through
for this year; there are still some Duchess pears
offered at So pes barrel. Potatoes are In aounc-
ant supply, and are selling from car at 50 to 40
cents per bushel; choice Northern stock will
bring 40 cents per bushel. Onions are In large
supply and selling 81 low prices The market is
overstocked with ounces. and prices are break
ing. The poultry market is weaker 10 tone, and
lower prices are intinated- Eggs and csoioe
butter are 10 good demand at the beat Quota
tions. Receipts Of game are still limited and
prices rule strong. Other markets present no

With the exception Of only one stock the
stock market was extremely dull to-
day aud weak almost throughout, the
bears and traders hammering the
ltst from opening to close, which was weak at
tue lowest prices. There was a conservatively
bullish feeling at the opening, which was made
generally % advances over last evenings final
figures of from 4 to per cent, though there
were-sorne exceptions. Small fractional gains
were established in the first few minutes OF
business, bat the 'bears" son got to work,
selecrsd Reading as n special point Of attack,
and it quickly became the leader of the list, both
in point of animation and weakness. The rest
of the list followed slowly until toward the close,
when all opposition to the pressure seemed 10 be
abandonsd, and more decided weakness became
apparent all over the list The East Tennessee
stocks were the weakes: features outside Of
Reading, but there was one strong spot in the
market, which was South Carolina. 1t advanced
II per cent, though the stock afterward lost
per cent. The dealings in Reading nearly
doubled after III o'clock, and the decline as
sumed larger proportions and ceased only with
tho close Of business. No other feat
ure marked the trading. The act
i've list IS almost invariably lower
this evening, and while South Carolina advanced
l per cent, East Tennessee second preferred
lost Il; Reading. IT. and others fractional
amounts.
The railroad bond market was again dull, with
the usual lack Of features, the only marked
movement in the list being the sharp slump In
the St Louis, Arkansas 81 Texas bonds, prob
ably upon the announcement that Mr.. Gould
had finished buying for control. The
changes in the rest or the issues
dealt in were generally for Insignificant frac-
tions, except in . few Inactive bonds, which
have not been Quilted for some time. ST. Louis,
Arkansas & Texas irsts lost 6, at 81. The sales
of bonds for the week aggregated s.. S54, 900 only,
against s7,412, 600 for last week.

UNEQUAL TO THE OCCASION.

Parties like individuals may claim ex-
traordinary ability in certain things.
But to con vince the average people that
an individual or party possesses such
ability there is nothing more convinc-
ing than success. If a man claims great
ability as merchant and he has success
fully managed great mercantile in
terest, people are generally willing to
concede his claims. While on the other
hand if he had made numerous efforts
in that direction and as often failed, all
sensible people would only laugh at his
pretensions of mercantile ability.
Measured by this sort of a standard,
the claims of the Democratic party to
govern this country is at once seen to be
unworthy of any consideration what
ever. The entire untitness of
the Democratic party to govern
this country was demonstrated in
1860 and 1861. Talk as we may
about the irrepressable conflict between
free and slave labor, but the fact remains
and is undisputable, that the great re-
belllon was only natural result of Dem
ocratic incompetency. The exercise OF
even moderate degree of craftsmanship
by the Democratic party III power during
the four years preceding the war would
have averted that calamity. The bull
doing politicians who could assault de-
fenselesS representatives in congress,
Were powerleSS when confronted with
grave questions requiring craftsmanship.
These are the very class of men that the
Democracy are ever inclined to elect to
office under the mistaken idea that they
are statesmen. This entire inability of
the Democratic leaders to meet and sue
ceSsfully cope with grave questions has
been well illustrated during the present
Democratic administration. Confronted
by grave problem i'll re-
gard to the revenues of the government
the last session of the Forty-ninth con-
greSs. composed of majority of Demo-
Gratis in the lower house, where these
revenue bills should originate, proved
itself entirely incapable to introduce and
pass laws urgently demanded by the
country. They have been unable to
remedy evils that by accumulation OF
money in the government treasury
threatens disastrously the business inter
ests of the country. The present con-
gress met and the Democratic president
foreshadowed in his annual message
vigorous policy. and Democrats all over

NO ANSWER AT ALL.

A week or two since the EAGLE pub
lished letter from the pen Of Mrs. Cor
bin of Chicago, to U. S. Senator Blair.
Her letter dealt with single phase of
women in public life, as presented by
Blair, and made no pretension of dealing
with the general feature of the subject.
That she, however, utterly annihilated
