LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
More Activity in Trade Circles, with
Steady Prices.

Steady Prices.
Yesterday in most lines considerable business
for midsummer was in progress. Dry goods
houses had a fair trade largely in the way Of
repenishing broken stocks. and druggists and gro
GERS had good trade. The hide market is quiet
and prices easy. Provisions are active and prices
stronger but not quotably higher. Business with
the seed houses is quiet. The produce market is
fairly active. but poultry and butter rule easier
Eggs firm.
The local grain market is more active on some
increase in receipts. For all cereals there is a
good demand But little new wheat has yet
come on this market. Track bids yesterday were
firm at the following range, furnished by the
secretary of the Board Of Trade

UNEASINESS OVER RATES
ARE THE ROADS TO CARRY BUSINESS
AT LITTLE OR NO PROFITs
President Ingalls, Says the Big COnsOi-
idatiOn, Which Includes the Big
Four, Is an Uncertainty.

Railroads will have period of decreased
earnings between now and September and
the continued cutting of rates is a source
of a good deal of uneasiness. 1t is thought
that east-bound rates are fairly well main
tanned, for the reason that the Eastern
trunk lines will not share in any cuts, but.
taken as a whole, in most directions there
is more or less cutting of rates, and with
lighter business it is feared it will become
more pronounced. The Eastern trunk lines
have for some months held to their agree
ments as to rates and there is a feeling
that some power should be brought to bear
on the Central Traffic Association lines to
force them to better maintenance of tariff.
The strong and weak lines are transgres-
sors in this respect, the conservative Penn
sylvania having cut as deep and as extern
sively as any of its competitors. The Wall
street interests in all the big properties
have made unanimous protest, but as the
law forblds a pool on rates the roads con-
tinue to cut each others Threats. Person
ally there are but few railroad men who
believe the old rates can be restored and
the roads are going into contraction in the
volume of their business as compared with
months past, with their profits considerably
reduced Everybody is aware that heavier
trainloads are now carried and economies
undreamed of a few years ago are being
carried out, yet it is doubtful whether the
rush for business is not discounting these
economies more rapidly than they are made,
and it is not surprising that the owners of
the railways are casting about to devise
some plan to hold both weak and strong
lines in hand in the matter of adopting bet
ter paying tariffs and adhering to rates. A
parent that the capitalists who have large
sums invested in properties intend to stop
rate. cutting, even if it becomes necessary
to place the roads under one general owner
ship. Are the railroads still to handle their
business at a minimum Of profit or at no
pront at all is the question the security
holders are asking

TIE sentimental effect of Commodore
Schley's victory was entirely dissipated yes
terday in Wallsstreet, and the stock market
dropped back into the condition of lethargy
and of waiting for developments which had
marked it for some time previous to this
week. The quick satisfaction Of the demand
aroused by the news of the victory is
striking demonstration of the fact that the
war is little taken account of in the stock
market. Many observers believe that it's
successful termination has already been
discounted, and the only development in it's
progress likely to effect prices of securities
would be something unfavorable to the sue
cess of the United States. The financial
collapse of Spain is felt to be inevitable,
and the longer the strain is maintained the
greater the damage that viii be inflicted by
the final disaster. The bankruptcy of the
Spanish government must inevitably have
far-reaching effect in the financial world,
and is bound to be reflected in this country,
even in face of triumph and of prosperity,
for forced liquidation will seek the strong
est market to realize in. The effect of the
government loan on the money market is
also an unsolved problem and begets hest
tation in speculative ventures. There is
bound to be continued uncertainty as to the
country's prosperity for the coming year
until the present crops are finally harvest
ed, or at least until the dimensions of the
crops and the prices they will bring are
known. The expectation that a naval vic
tory would awaken speculative activity
having been disappointed, yesterdays dull
and sluggish market was the natural out
come, with the bears nibbling to find weak
spots, but with SO little success as to be
led to cover most short contracts before the
days close. Changes as a rule were, there
fore, small and unimportant.
The volume of business in bonds was
small, and there was no important change
in price. Total sales 81, $4,000. United
States new tours and the old fours, regis
tered, advanced 4c in the bid price.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Tie Journal of the 4th inst. published the
following, dated Anderson
Henry Stevenson, saloon keeper at Lapel
has brought novel action for damages
against men who, in representing the tenn
perance element of the town have been
opposed to his being granted a license for
another year. He wants $3.50 damages from
each one to cover loss to him. The fight
has been very bitter attracting the atten-
ton of all church organizations in the coun-
ty, and great pressure has been brought to
bear to drive him out of business. His ac
ton for damages establishes a new prece-
dent in damage SUITS.
This is a specimen of the way intimida-
ton and threats have been used to defeat
the ends of right and morality in the above
case. No one expects that any court or
jury can be found who are ignorant enough
to entertain for a moment such a plea for
damages. and 1t is only done for purposes
of intimidation. Not only does the law OF
every State grant the right of petition. but
the Constitution of the United States and
the Declaration of independence itself Sc
cures to the very lowliest of the land the
right to present grievances before the prop
er tribunal for an honest adjustment of
their rights. In this case the law not only
gives the right. but it Is incorporated as
the duty of every good citizen of a township
to present such petition before the Board
of County Commissioners whenever the
moral elevation of community demands it.
On the other hand the real ground for dam
ages is where an applicant for liquor Ii
cense advertiseS in some obscure paper in
the county that does not circulate in the
township where the petitioners reside for
the purpose of eluding the watchful eyes Of
those who have at heart the welfare of
society. A case was recently appealed to
the Supreme Court from New Castle. in
which the judge of the lower court decided
that such an advertisement was Illegal and
IL the applicant secured license in that way
he was selling liquor contrary to law. If
the Supreme Court confirms the decision of
the lower court we will see who is the
violator of law and subject to damages.
In regard to any damages recoverable as
the result of petitioning against the sale of
intoxicating liquors in Lapel or anywhere
else no one need lose any sleep over It,
