INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.

Except in Holiday Goods.
INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 19.-In most de-
partments trade is becoming rather quiet,
unless it be with the merchants who deal
In holiday goods and commission men. In
prlces to day there was not change call
ing Tor special mention. The produce men
are doing a good business, the demand for
everything in the fruit and vegetable line
being active. Turkeys are scarce. Hens,
chickens and game are in good supply, and
prices easy. In groceries the movement is
slow, with prices unchanged Coffees East
are easier. but this market shows no
change. The New York Bulletin says of
coffees "It is still an easier matter to pur-
chase than to sell Brazil grades. No one is
running about the market seeking to force
stock. In many cases the offerings are
made with considerable measure of eau
tion. and the few tell of ability to secure
custom whenever they are ready for it, but
buyers have for some time past found all
the supply wanted as soon as the call de-
veloped, and met with an easing off line of
tenders In the way of valuation" Other
staple groceries rule steady. The hardware
men and iron-dealers report trade rather
quiet. prices firm on most articles Drug
gistS are experiencing an excellent trade,
and all articles in their line rule firm. The
hide and leather markets are fairly active
for December, and prices have become set
tied, at least lower prices are not looked
for. The provision market is still weak,
but a good deal doing in a jobbing way.
Other markets are featureless.
