Increasing Activity Noticeable in Most De-
partments, with Strong Prices Prevailing.
INDIANAPOLIS, March Is.
In all departments fair volume of business is
in progress. Travelling statesmen who came in
yesterday report the roads becoming solid and
the situation Frightening daily. Country mer-
chants are in excellent spirits and buy what they
need without Directing to prices. The influence
of the Wholesale Grocers' Association is good,
and prices are now well held. Margins are close,
which is usual when the tendency of the market
on all articles is one Of advancement in prices.
CofTees are 2 cents higher on all grades than two
weeks ago, and sugars are Il cent higher, while
canned goods, dried fruits, starch spices are all
firm at quotations. The flour market continues
fiat. Millers are good deal discouraged over
the outlook. so long has the dizziness prevailed
and little encouragement is there in the future.
Provisions are a little shaky again, while the de-
mand for side meats and hams is good. In a
Jobing way prices are unchanged. The wool
market is decidedly frmer, but at the present
timeiittle Is doing, wool-bandlers being unable
to fill any large orders for the medium grades.
The produce markets have been active all
ing our best tpr quotations, and the same
is true of wellkept potatoes. Oranges are meet
ing with better sale, and there is an increasing
demand for lemons. Bananas are again plenty
and selling low. Poultry. eggs and butter are all
arriving more freely, and prices have dropping
tendency. The iron market is firmer. Dealers
Hardware men, as WELL are experiencing brisk
trade. Other markets are featureless
