MARKETS.

of Last Week, with Prices Steady.
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 20. With the
coming in of the present week q marked
increase in trade has been noticeable in the
wholesale markets. The dry-g0ods men re-
port trade good for August; prices as q
rule firm and the outlook promising. Gro
GERS are quite busy. The s%teadiness to the
coffee and sugar markets is in the nature of
a surprise. More especially is this true of
coffees. After all. the position is counted
as fairly firm. except in new %coffees, which
are being offered at slightly easier prices
for forward shipment. This is nothing
more than what is to be expected, for the
new coffees are bound to shrink fully the
difference in price, as compared with old
goods. In the vegetable line Irish potatoes
are firm on the receipts being of better
quality. Sweet potatoes are in light de-
mand. Fruits OF all kinds In large supply;
prices weak. The receipts of peaches are
far In excess of the demand. The active de-
mand for poultry, eggs and choice butter
continues and prices are firm. 1t Will be
noticed that the prices Of eggs and poultry
are considerably above the usual August
average. The Hour market ie still a prob
lem. The expected increased demand and
boom IN prices does not materialize.
