There was an active movement of stuff on
Tuesday, but to-day trade is quiet. Concord
grapes are on the wane and many now coming
are frosted. Catawbas are in good supply and
fine shape. The drop in creamery butter is
fully justified by events Markets are quiet at
the decline. Cheese is steady at old rates, and
eggs are firm. Cabbage begins to come in very
freely, as the pyramids along Liberty street
amply testify. There is irmer tone to pota-
toes, and choice grades sell readily at outside
quotations. The inferior stock which has been
crowded on to our markets the past few weeks
is well cleaned up, and better quality is now
coming to the front. Sweet potatoes are sitter.

OIL ON ITS METTLE.
The Highest Price Scored for Nearly -Four
Yenrs-Shorts Cover.

There were lively times at the Oil Exchange
yesterday. A little boom was started in the
morning and it gradually grew until in the aft
ernoon, 81 o. was scored. This is the highest
point reached for nearly four years. The mar
ket opened at 81 0O1S. advanced to 81 o., de-
cIined to 81 OO14, rallied and closed at 81 025<.
The causes of the advance were good buying
in Pittsburg and Oil City, and an advance of 20
points in refined. As soon as the shorts showed
disposition to get in out of the wet Oil City
ran the price up on them. New York was a
moderate seller. More of the stock was wanted
than they had to offer. There was considerable
trading in cash oil, to be kept as nest egg in
the event of a squeeze. The close was steady
The Standard and Ohio Valley Gas Com
panies are said to have their agents engaged in

PHILADELPHIA RAIDED.
Heavy Selling Breaks the Backbone of This
Favorite Security.

The only feature of special interest at the
Stock Exchange yesterday was a semi-panic in
Philadelphia Gas. The movement was started
by holders who believe the company is in deep
water in the matter of supply, and they deter
mined to realize at almost any figure. There
was no news to justify the break, SO far as
could be learned. Said broker: 81 think
considerable of the selling was short If SO,
the sellers will find themselves in hole. in
my opinion"
The first sale was at 3255s. From that it stead
ily dropped, under heavy selling, to 80, closing
at BIZ bid and none offered. The sales were
700 shares Electric and the fractions were
also weaker. La Noria about held its own.
There was no material change in the rest of
the list, though bearish feeling prevailed all
round. Bids, offers and sales were:

A Quiet Day I'm Trade Circles, with No Changes
I'm Values of Importance.


INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. %.
1t being the last day of the month, all depart
ments of trade ruled quiet while there were no
changes in values worthy of note. The trade of
the month closing to-day was very satisfactory,
and in all departments sales will aggregate
larger than ia February, 1883. March is en-
tered under very favorable business auspices.
Money is easy. Retail merchants are not over
stocked, and their bills are in clean shape with
few carrying heavy Indebtedness, as compared
with even twelve months ago. There is good
deal Of grain and other produce yet to come on
the market, yet the movement is and has been
healthy in its volume for some time past. Prices
on some OF the cereals are not satisfactory, but
an Improvement Is more probable than a further
break In the markets Dry goods rule steady in
price, and the spring stocks are unusually large,
complete and attractive. All staple groceries
carry firm tone. Both sugars and co.sees have
are fairly active. Shipments of apples and veg
etahles OF all kinds TO the cities and towns in the
central portion of the State are large. All arti-
try still upward In its tendency. Other markets
are featureless.
There was a better attendance on Change
to-day. The Indianapolis Market Report speaks
Of wheat as being steady, and the receipts of the
day as being 1,sOO bu, against 400 bu OH
Wednesday. Prices ruled as follows:
