Been Fully Up to Expectations.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. IL.
While trade has not been as active as ir
sometimes is, it has the past week been
fully ND to the average of the middle of
August, and in some departments has been
in excess of that of last year. Take dry
goods. There have been a number of buy
ers in, and they purchase d with a good deal
of freedom. Stocks are large, new and ele-
giant, and it is quite difficult for n live mer-
chant to look such stocks over and not
purchase q bill before leaving the whole
sale house. Grocers nave had an average
trade during the week. Sugars went of Il
of a cent, and are weak at present quo
tatlons. Coffees are the reverse, be-
ing firm at quotations. The market
has a. dull tone; prices do not
improve, and dealers are somewhat
blue over the stu alton. In the
produce markets there is a moderate trade.
Apples are coming in by the carload, and
really good stock sold at S1.5O a barrel to-
day. Pears are in large supply and selling
Friday. but prices did not improve as
a result. Choice fruit sold at IS
cents a box and very good fruit as low as
45 cents a box. Sweet potatoes are
in light supply and firm. Irish potatoes
are coming in more freely and are easier in
price. Eggs are strong at quotations; re-
ceipts are light and the tendency is to
higher prices. Butter, as well, is In light
supply and firm at quotations. Poultry is
steady. Indications are that present prices
will prevail the coming week. Druggists
and hardware men nave had a good weeks
trade and good prices are obtained on
nearly all lines of hardware. There are but
few oranges on the market Md the demand
is. as well, light. Lemons in good supply
and meeting with fair sale. The seed mar
ket shows more activity at unchanged
prices. Other markets present no features
calling for comment.
