PRODUCE DEALERS GLAD
BETTER TIMES HAVE COME AFTER
SOME "HARD SHEDDING"
Commission Men Are Making Money,
Although They Say Prices Are Not
UnrensonabIy High.

After two years Of depression the COM
mission merchants of Indianapolis have
struck better times. There are thirty regu-
lar commission houses which handle every
thing in the way Of fruits. vegetables and
produce in their respective seasons, and but
few persons are aware of the business these
houses do. several of them being large con-
Germs. The last few weeks matters have
taken a more desirable turn with them
Last year. said one OF the commission
men. I'VE were handling large quantities
of goods and making little money. This
spring we are not handling as large a bulk
of fruits and vegetables, but we are getting
more money for them"
While on large per cent. of the articles
handled by commission merchants prices
are not now unreasonable. they are quite
in excess of last year. Apples, which are
now selling at s. to Sc a barrel, last year
sold at So to 81 barrel, and oranges which
one year ago were selling at s225 to S. 70
are now selling al 1910 to S4 a box. Lemons
are selling at SO to $3.50 a box fully 81 high
er than in April, 1S9S Irish potatoes are 10
to - cents higher on the buShel; sweet po-
tatoeS % TO 20 cents higher, and In other
vegetables the range of prices is 10 to 10 per
cent. hlgher tnan one year ago. The prod
uce commission men are now paying IL
cents dozen for eggs, while a year ago
they bought them for S cents They are
paying 5 cents a pound for hens, Az cents
a pound for cocks, against 612 for hens and
cents for cocks one year ago. Turkeys
are bringing cents pound more than in
April. 1sgS. Butter year aso was bought
by commission houses at TO 10 cents a
pound. 1t now ranges from to 1112 cents
a pound In the hide market the same
prices prevail that did one year ago. From
the above comparisons il will be seen that
while the general range Of prices is higher
than one year ago, with the exception of
apples, oranges and lemons prices not
so unreasonably high as many have been
led to believe from the statements that have
been made as regards the nigh cost of iiv-
ing.
With each year the commission houses
are handing more green stun, such as
young onions, lettuce and radishes. Com
mission merchants say one of the remark
able features of this springs trade is the
large sales of Irish potatoes, onion sets and
other seeds indicating that farmers are TO
devote more ground to raising potatoes,
onions. cabbage, etc. one OF the Older COM
mission men says that fully 30 per cent.
more seed potatoes have been sold this
month thus far than in April. 1895, and the
demand is still very large

muddle by coming to an understanding at
the meeting in Chicago last week and maxi
ing a rate basis of II cents per 100 pounds
Chicago to New York, both export and do
mestic. Tariffs have TO be filed accordingly
1t is the outcome of long wrangle, and
whether or not the settlement will be lived
up to is material for conjecture. The un-
derstanding is that rates on grain and all
grain products from points in the Central
Freight Association TO western terminals of
the trunk-line territory and points east will
be made on the basis of Il cents per 100
pounds, Chicago to New York. The rates
are to become effective April Is, and are to
apply on export as we'll domestic rates.
Heretofore the tariff for all grain, except
corn and its products. has been on the basis
of 20 cents, Chicago to New York. The
New York-Chicago basis on corn and it's
products has been 11la cents. BY the new
understanding the Baltimore & Ohio will be
given differential, although materially cut

AN INCREASE In TONNAGE
NEARLY 21.OOO LOADED CARS HAN
DIED BY LOCAL LINES LAST WEEK.
Roads I'm the Central Freight A.socia-
ton Extricate Themselves from
an Unpleasant Dilemma.

The train records show that 26.297 cars
were received and forwarded at Indianapolis
in the week ending April Is, 2O737 being
loaded. an increase of 7O6 over the week end
ing April S, but 1851 fewer than were
handled at this point in the corresponding
week OF 1893, in which business about
reached its maximum for that year. Going
back of 1898, however. the loaded-car move
ment is now largely in excess of former
years, that Of last week exceeding the cor
responding week of 1897 by 4195 loaded cars.
1886 by 1926; 1895 by 23l4, and that Of 1894 by
5097. The enpty-car movement was the larg-
est of any week in some months and cars
which were held by the trunk lines are now
being sent west to load. Another noticeable
feature Of traffic conditions is the heavy
west-bound business, more loaded cars COM
ing west than are forwarded, and TO a great
er extent, it is stated, than ever before
known The Panhandle last week brought in
917 loaded cars, against S42 forwarded, and
with the Big Four's Chicago and Cleveland
divisions the east-bound loaded-car move
ment is very heavy, and would be with the
Vandalia were it not for the large quanti-
ties OF coal from Clay county which the road
is bringing in Aside from shipments of pro-
visions, hides, fertilizers, cerealine products
and dressed meats the present tonnage east
bound is light as compared with April of
last year. Local business is surprise never
before having been as heavy over all lines
at this season OF the year. Not only are the
iron Industries heavy shippers, but the fur
niture manufacturers. the packing houses
and more especially the hominy and cereal.
inc mills. Seldom is there a time when all
classes of freight are so generally handled.
The receipts and shipments at the stock
yards average we'll with former years, and
the immense piles OF merchandise handled
over the depot platforms and on the bulk

merchants are enjoying large business Be-

Standing of the National League.

About a thousand men and three women
watched the game between Indianapolis and
Grand Rapids yesterday afternoon, while
the springtime sun soaked a gentle warmth
through the beacher contingent and the
chill wind as steadily carried 1t away. 1t
was a much better day, from temperature
point of consideration, for the players than
for the spectators, though the crowd stayed
until the finish. All three pitchers. Newton
for the home team and Wolf and Eyler for
Grand Rapids, were batted frequently and
freely. The game opened up like real cham
pionship ball, neither side scoring In the
first two innings. Grand Rapids then OPEN
ing the trouble with one run, and Aliens
aggregation responding nobly with two
gaining a lead that was never overcome, de-
spite the wild throws fumbles and misjudg-
ments that followed. Beville was suffering
from a crippled hand, which caused him to
drop several pitched balls.
Among the most notabl plays was Babbs
brilliant stop Of high drive TO third, too
high to catch, but which he succeeded in
knocking down ana fielding to first ahead
of the runner. In good many respects,
however, the fielding on both sides was
loose, ragged and full of apertures, through
which the ball was permitted to escape time
and time again. Without any undue ef
forescence of local pride, II may be safely
stated that the Reserves could give the
leading team Of the Interstate League de-
cided tussle for the game There were no
straw hats visible on the bleaching boards,
but there was a distinct suggestion of
warmer weather in the notes of a man over
near third base who laughed with a voice
much like that Of a crow, while Reuben
Glue, though he had on a last winters
derby hat. wore linen duster of the kind
our grandfathers used TO wear to Fourth of
July celebrations at the county fair
grounds. The score:
