INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Drags Somewhat with the Unfavorable
Weather-Prices in the Main Steady

Weather-Prices in the Main Steady
INDIANAPOLIS, JAM 81.
In nearly ali departments trade is rather
quiet; probably the unfavorable weather has
something TO do with it; then the sluggishness
of the grain markets doubtless more or less in
fuence other markets. Dry goods men report
prices on all lines of goods as very strong, and
already there is some inquiry as regards spring
goods, yet trade has not taken on any activity.
The wool market maintains its firm tone but
no advance in prices has been established here.
Fine feeces East, however, are reported cent
per pound better. The Boston Herald SAYS
that some of the holders of wool prefer
that the advance should not be mentioned,
and adds: "A month ago there was an asking
price for wool, but there was also the price the
seller was sure to come down to before ne would
let the manufacturers out. But to-day
there is price which the manufacturer must
pay and since the manufacturer is in want of
wool, be, Is paying that price Indeed, there has
been very extensive buying by some of the
largest manufacturing concerns in the country.
and they have been into the market and taken
wool because they believed that the market had
got down about as low 81 it is going. These
same manufacturers are lightly stocked with
wool, and they have bought it to go into stocks
they have bought the wool because they have
obtained orders for goods, and they have felt
like covering these orders with wool Among the
trade it is very certain that the feeling is
stronger, and they back up the feeling by ask
ing higher prices for wool. There is. perhaps
less OF Ddying among the trade than there was
q few weeks ago, and since fewer of the trade
are buyers of wool, it is easy to how they
have turned bulls, instead of trying to bear the
market But the position of the man ufacturer
is that OF needing wool and he has found that
if he will obtain selection at present prices he
must select early" Grocers are doing fair bus
mess Sugars firmly held, the trust having
a firm grip on the market. apparently, while
coffees, both roasted aud green, are weak at
quotations. Starch, canned goods and foreign
fruits are all firm in tone. The produce men
during this warm spell are getting rid of some
of their apples. letting sound, quite good fruit
go at g. 90 a barrel, and some really choice ap-
Piles sold to-day at 50 barrel. Eggs are COM
ing in more freely; prices weak. Butter, If
choice. still brings our best quotation. Poultry
is hardly as firm as last week. but there is no
further letting down of prices.
The tame tone to the local market continues

In Monroe. Louisiana, August 7Gl, NJ hall
past eleven O'Clock, OF congestion. Miss
| MARY SANDERS, third daughter OF the late
J a. Sanders, in til G oath year of her age.
Silently and reverentiy, Grace Church
filled Oh Wednesday evening with scores
Of sorrowing friends, gathered there that
their presence might testify, moi only deep
sympathy FOR the borrowed family, hnt also
the exalted and tender regard entertained
for II sweet and noble lady. Miss Mary
had been unwell for several days but no
ono dreamed of 4 serious iorutitation OF
seemingly slight illness, until Monday she
was seized with conGestivc chill and on
Tuesday morning at half past eleven
o'clock, her gentle spirit passed into the
presence of her God.
Death is truly no respcctor o. pea sons.
The young and tho beautiful, as we'll rs the
old, fall before him, and his remo:seless
scythe gathers the flowers, well as the
wheat ready for the harvest. Having just
entered her 2ith year. Mary Sanders was
standing, upon the threshold of radiant
wonunhood before her seemed 20 stretch
out Il happy future, with All it's roseate
shadows, bright sunlight and joyful antic-
ipations. She was IL sweet and ioVaSlo girl;
quiet, modest and dignticd in her nsannrs;
home she was du.iful attectiona;c ahnGh-
ter; a kind and gentle sister. She was loved
and respected by all who knew her, and
will be sadly missed, not only by her I'M
mediate family, but by the entire cominUn-
i.y. Grace Church has sustained Il loss
that will long be felt and the teachers and
pupils of tho abbath school have hidden
farewell to one of its most useful Nom bers.
While they minslc their tears with those Of
the bereaved family, they rejoice in tho
glorious hope that for the good seed sown
while on earth, she will reap arich harvest
in the beautiful world to which her soul
has taken its flight. Leaving behind hor
only blessed remembrances of her good
ness, she has passed through tho ozark
Valley of tho Shadow of DEATH to tho
brighter shadow beyond, to find her sure
reward in am eternity of peace in the
bosom Of that loving Savior, who, when
on earth, she followed, and in death shc
trusted. Il. X. $.
