The Volume OF Business Of the Month just

The Volume Of Business of the Month just
Closed Fairly Satisfactory.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 81.
As a rule, the wholesale men speak of the
volume of business in the month of August
as having been very satisfactory, and with
some an Improvement over that of August.
ON most lines of goods enabled the whole
sale men to sell closer than they could were
the fluctuations frequent and sharp. In
dry goods the changes in prices have been
slight, notwithstanding the shaky condi-
ton of the wool market a portion of the
time. Grocers have little room to complain
of the volume of their business. or of the
changes in values. Sugars are but quarter
of a cent higher than thirty days ago. and
%coffees, roasted grades, only a half cent
higher. while green coffees have ruled
steady and firm through the month. In
the produce markets trade was active
through the entire month. Goods have
sold low in some cases, but the demand was
such that in the aggregate the commission
men were we'll paid for their labOrs. Eggs,
butter and poultry seldom bring as good
prices as they have through the month just
closed. and for eggs and butter good prices
are indicated mex month. at least In the
early part of it. The hide men and the
millers ave had some grounds for COM
plant. The former market drags. while
the flour market has been uncertaini in tone,
and weak prices have prevailed most of
the time. All classes of merchants begin
the ley month with bright prospects. the
large crops and easy money market being
excellent stimulants to retail trade. which
mean good business for the wholesale men.

How Poor Men May Become Capitalists.

washington Gladden. in September Forum.
Somebody must save money; and the PEG,
pie who save it will be the capitalists. and
they will control the organization OF IN
dustry and receive the larger share OF the
profits. If the workiDgmen viii save their
money they may be not. only sharers or
profits but owners of stock and receivers OF
dividends. And the workmen can save
their money if they will. Its the only way
IN which they can permanently ana surely
improve their condition. Legislative re-
forms, improved industrial methods, may
make the way easier for them, but there is
no road to comfort and indepeAdence, after
all, but the plain. old path of steady work
and sober saving. If the working people of
this country would save. for the next five
years. the money that they spend on beer
and tobacco and baseball they could con-
troll a pretty fair share of the capital en-
ployed in the industries by which they get
their living, and they could turn the diyi-
dends of this capital from the pockets of
the money-lenders into their own. There
is no other way of checking the congestion
of wealth and of promoting its diffusion,
so expeditions. so certain. and SO benehcent
as this; wish the working people would
try il.

to the effect that exporting countries win
