of timber In tho rough and manufactured
material are handled weekly.
The general agents of the various sewing
machine companies speak very confidently
as to their business being good this year.
The first quarter of the year they sold
from 10 to 20 Ter cent. more machines than
III the first three months of 1891. and one
of them remarked Friday last. ut seems
like old times, so numerous are the orders
coming in from the agents"
In the month of March the Parry Manu-
featuring Company shipped nInety-eIght
full car loads of their production, IN adj
dition to less than carload shipments.
These goods were shipped TO seventy-two
different points in this country and TO ten
points in foreign countries. some going to
Ontur, Spain. and one shipment TO Trans
vaaI. Africa The works in March turned
out 7,779 two and four-wheeled vehicles.
An express official on Saturday remarked
that he knew of DO feature of business
which was better criterion for Indianapo-
lis than the growth of the express business
here in the last ten years. In 1891 it was
60 per cent. heavier than in 1881. In 1881
the American Express Company ran eight
wagons; it now runs twelve. The Adams
Express Company. In 1851. ran six wagons;
1t now runs eleven. The United States Ex-
press Company has increased in the same
proportion.
Chicago parties have purchased the in
terests of HetheringtoD. Berner and others
in the KnIckerbocker gas-meter. which
was the invention of Indianapolis mechan-
les. the manufacture of which promises TO
be a great industry. The parties who sold
ont their patent got handsome figure for
it. Ii is probable that the meter will be
manufactured here as well as at Chicago.
Over six hundred of these meters have nj
ready been ordered. and 1t has been on the
market but few months.
The plans and specifications for the build
ings to be erected on the new State fair
grounds are on the tables at the Builders
Exchange. There are slxty-nine buildings
in all, and there are about that number of
parties that propose to bid on the work.
Local contractors are feeling sore" that
the State board has asked tor bids from
outside the State. They do not object to
contractors In any city or town In the
State bidding on the work. but they feel It
is hardly fair for Chicago. Peoria. ILL.,.
