INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS..
An of Week I'm Trade, with Firm Prices Rui-
Ing on Most Lines of Goods.

Inc on 1Aost Lines Oh
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 80.
Il has been an OFF week in trade in most
departments. three rainy days and one hol-
iday interfering more or less with the vol
ume of business. In looking over the bust
ness of the month closing to day, a majority
of the wholesale men say that the sales
will aggregate well with last year, but Will
not show the excess which had been looked
for in the early part or the month. But
December comes in promising, and likely
the deficit of last month, il the weather he
winterish in its character, will be more
than made up. In no department can there
be any grumbling as regards low prices.
Seldom in the business history of South
Meridian street have prices ruled so steady
and strong as in the month closing to-day.
Whenever there has been any huctuation
ii was usually in favor of the wholesale
man. With the firm tone to the
wool market. in all lines of dry goods
advance than decline. All staple groceries
carry strong tone; merchants are selling
close to hold their trade. Reports from the
East Indicate no weakness In any of the
staple groceries. The produce markets. as
usual after holiday. have been quiet.
Next week an Improvement is looked for.
The receipts of poultry are still large. and
q weak market rs indicated for next week.
Eggs are IN hight supply and advancing in
price. Batter, unles choice. is hard to sell.
Apples, good fruit. are more sought for. and
prices arc improving; the same Is true re-
garding Irish and sweet potatoes, in fact all
vegetables carry strong tone. and prices
are gradually strengthening. Receipts of
game have fallen Oft and prices are
decidedly higher. The flour market is
in much better shape than on the first day
of this month, although the advance in
prices has not been so marked as the inilers
November In the other markets there is
nothing calling for special mention.
