business Good, All Things COMMUNICATIONS
Firmer-Fruits aud Vegetables Advancing.
When the unusually severe weather for
Indiana is taken into consideration the
volume of business Is rather a surprise.
The flour market is taking better shape.
and firmer prices are ruling on the better
demand. In the fruit and vegetable line
prices on most articles are reaching figures
winch place them among the luxuries.
Cabbage at Is to 20 cents head, potatoes
over q dollar busheI. onions So per bushel
are certainly luxury prices. and it is im-
possible to get any really choice apples
even at 81 TO $3.50 per barrel. The market.
however. is well stocked with O poor quail
.ty of apples Drv-goods men talk of
higher prices. A Boston paper says the
best printed fabric shirtIngs and satines
are all advancing In tendency. The tend
ency Is toward a stronger market on both
brown and bleached cottons, and IL the
market continues as strong as it now locks
the chances are that several advances will
be made on the LIST of February. The posi-
tion of raw cotton is the principal reason
this advance. but 1t is also worth bearing
In mimi that the stocks of cotton goods are
reduced TO a point where they are entirely
under the control of manufacturers and
their agents. The jobbers own few goods
that are to come forward 10 them at prices
before the rise. and. indeed. their stocks
are small. Hence. agents are able to have
matters pretty much their own way. Boot
and shoe men are getting in spring and
summer stocks anticipating good trade.
