turned strong on numerous reports that the work
OF the Hessian fly had become serious. the entire

had been ruined by drought. July opened kq$c

Seldom In the history of the wholesale mer
chants Of indianapolis have matters moved along
so smoothly and satisfactorily as for some weeks
past. the volume of trade being UP to expecta-
tions. Collections are unusually easy and a
healthy tone pervades business generally. So far
as prices are concerned for some days past. there

the produce markets and on Commission row. On
Commission row prices are now governed much
by the receipts from day to day. Arrivals OF
strawberries and green vegetables are increasing
and prices. of course, decline. The hide and
leather markets are very firm, but quotations
have not changed for several days.

ers are too busy to ship grain in and the demand
is by no means met from day to day. Track bids
