INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Months Trade Opens Promising, with a
Strong Tone Prices in Most Lines.

INDIANAPoLIS Feb. 2.
In all departments more activity is noticeable
than last week. and with this there is a firm
tone to prices. Especially is this true in the
ry goods market. Cotton goods are in a very
strong position and advancing in tendency
while wooden goods rule firm and steady, all
evidence of weakness having passed of. There
were a number of buyers in to-day, and an early
brisk spring trade is looked for. In January.
however. the sales of the dry goods men were
not large this year in January 1887. There
is decidedly better feeling in the provision
market, and a good demand is springing up for
all descriptions of hog products, and packers
talking bullish regarding futures. Grocers
re port trade as improving. Sugars rule very
strong, and higher prices would not cause sur
prise. Coffees steady at the re-
cent reductions. The hide market is still tame.
Prices low, and all efforts to spring them East
West fail. Leather dealers report trade fair,
with prices unchanged. There is a little more
firmness to harness feathers Druggists are ex-
perencing good trade with firm prices in
most articles they sell. Oils are in better de-
mand. and prices rule very strong, and with the
increasing demand are likely to 60 higher. The
produce markets are active. Apples, potatoes.
cabbage. onions selling quite freely. Cabbage
are hardly firm as last week, with the appear
ance of Southern growth on the market Poul-
try in good demand. and firm in price. Eggs, as
well, are wanted at the recently reduced quo
tations; really fresh stock will bring cent
higher than our quotations. There still
good many poor eggs coming to the market
Butter. if choice, is meeting with good sale;
receipts, however, are increasing. There is but
little game except rabbits now on the market,
and receipts of them are falling off. They
readily bring rs cents per dozen.
GRAIN.
The local market continues tame and I'M
interesting. The attendance on Change is
small, and the bidding lacks animation. Prices
to-day ruled about Wednesday, Mediter-
ranean wheat being shade stronger. Track

Old Relics.

Thrilling with that curious pleasure
which comes to those OF US VINO are TO-
mantle when turning over the relics
OF the past, with what interest we han
die old letters yellow with age, but
still tied with the true-love knot OF blne
ribbon; volumes of poetry with inscrip-
tions of the enthusiastic sort, now out
of date, written In An elegant hand on
the hy-leaf, and with the tenderest YER
ses marked with rOse-leaves, silkeD
scarfs TO which time has given mellow
tints no dyer wots Of; quaint garments
that make one smile, yet which may
have set off dlmpled beauty rarely; a
sword on which the rust of a century
has gathered; a great watch that still
has power TO tick, though its maker,
and he who wore it hGve been ashes fo-
generations.
And suddenly In the midst of our en-
enjoyment, a thought will creep over
US that makes our hearts stand still.
The time must come-will surely
come, II we have anything behind US
when gay young folk, whose grand
mothers are yet unborn, will some day
find a treasure In some queer old thing
they have discovered just fit for the
masquerade; and those queer old
"things" will be our present best
clothes-and the bonnet that was
thought "a love" in Paris.
They will peep into our letters and
try to make love stories out Of them,
and wonder at our taste in books; and
we-well, at least we shall not be here.
The earth will be ours no moJe-its
pleasant places or its shadows, Its
griefs, or its delights.
As the rose we pluck-the oior we
inhale-we shall be gone, as those are,
over whose relics we pore to-day.

Didn't Want the Fish.

Peters, the colored pugilllst, took a
little trip into the country last month
for a vacation, and as has often hap
pened to white men under the same
circumstances, he got dead broke hfly
miles from home and started back 10y
the kings highway. One day, when
he had reached The thirtieth mile post
west of Detroit, he met a wagon-load
of people going to picnic. Taere was
a smart Aleck in the wagon, and he
ordered halt and said:
"I've got to lick this niger or we
won't catch any fish to-day"
Several of the people protested and
argued, but the young man was bound

backed away.
I'm sorry for you, but I've got to

He put up his dukes and made a
rush. Then the heavens and the earth
seemed to come together, and all the
powder mills in the country exploded
at once.
"You've killed himl'' shouted the
occupants of the wagon in chorus.

He was a true prophet. Aleck
opened his eyes after a bit, sat up,
rubbed his jaw, and then suddenly
dashed for the wagon and climbed in.
"How about the fish, sahP'' asked
Peters, as the wagon was about TO go
on.
'FishI fishI'' shouted Aleck. as he
got a fresh brace on his jaw, "durn

Her hand, which still clung to his
arm, trembled and was withdrawn, and
the next moment stole softly into his.
They sat quite silent. and the endless
night drew on Memories rose before
each of them of hopes and dreams that
had once been all in all, and now were
small and faint and immeasurably dis
tant. Around them, rising always,
surged the persistent waters. Now
and again, gusts of wind awoke sud-
denly and brought a sweep of waves
over the submerged masonry.
Presently oozing drops began to creep
between the chImneys behind them.

man.
They quilted their sheltered nook,
and, mounting, stood upon the plat

to the chimneys and to each other, and
for a few minutes stood 50, battling
strenuously to keep their foothold.
The man cried out suddenly:

There was nothing now but hard-drawn
breath. and vain resistance, and then
placid moon shining over a waste OF
foods.
