LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
A Week Of Fair Trade for August
Prices F~Iuctuated but Little.

In several lines OF trade-the wholesale grocer.
the druggists, the hardware and iron dealers
and commission houses being OF the number
business in the last week was quite satisfactory.
and with leather merchants and the produce
houses and provision dealers a very fair trade
was enjoyed; changes in prices were few. Eggs
end poultry were firm at quotations. as are
Irish potatoes, cabbage. lemons and staple gro
ceries. except coffee. The provision market
is inactive. prices ruling more steady. Dry
Gccds begin TO move a little, and on most de-
scriptions of goods prices rule steady. The
commission merchants had a fairly busy week.
Fruits are in ample supply and are rotting this
fair prices are realized. The seed merchants
report trade improving somewhat. prices rang
ing much the same as for some weeks past.
The local grain market is not as active as
disappointing. and a belief prevails that the
bulk Of the crop of old corn has been marketed

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
Aug. 25--Cattle-Receipts. 100; shipments
none. The receipts Of cattle were small,
at this time in the week. The market was
quiet, but sales for the most part did not
show quotable change compared with yes
terday. Texas cattle averaging 93391.oOS
lbs tina were carried over from yester-
day sold at S4d410. The receipts of cattle
this week show a decrease Of 500 compared
with last week and 200 compared with the
same week a.year ago. Thus far this year
the receipts are only about 500 smaller than
the same period last year. At the begin
ming of the week there was q little better
feeling in the trade on account of the fav-
orable conditions existing elsewhere, but
on account of the supplies being too small
to interest buyers to any great extent, val
ues did not show quotable improvement.
Later there was some reaction in prices
of the less desirable cattle, but the strictly
dry-fed stock were salable at steady prices.
The continued plentiful supply of common
to medium stock and a scarcity of choice
cattle caused a great discrimination in ia
vor of the good kinds toward the close Of
the week, and at the extreme close prime
stock of all kinds were selling at strong
prices, while others were weak and in some
instances considered 10d15c lower. Best ex-
port cattle were especially scarce, and at
the close Of the week sold as high as
$5.S2h. The top price for heifers during
the week was S., and for cows s4.45. A
better demand for feeding cattle caused
some change In the position of buyers re-
garding fat stock. especially in the emale
line, and the cows and heifers that a month
ago were selling to killers, were neglected
for that purpose and had to be sold to
feeders at, in some instances, at least soc
reduction in prices. Dealers are not dis
posed to make any predictions for the fu-
ture, but it Is rather expected that prime
stock will continue a little scarce and 1t is
possible that there will be more discrimi-
nation in favor of that class. Quotations:

did not take long to exhaust the small
supply at opening figures, and with a good
clearance the market closed quotably steady
at the advance. The receipts this week
show an increase of $500 over last week,
$500 over the same week a year ago, and
the receipts so far this year are over 213,-

There nave been frequen but only slight
fluctuations in prices during the week, but
tho tendency has been toward a higher
level and at the close of the week the aver
age was 5d10c above the close Of last week.
There has been no Improvement in quality,
and In fact most dealers claimed that a
larger proportion of the arrivals were on
the grassy order than last week. For the
most part fancy lightweights nave sold
at the best prices, and on account of the
scarcity of that class II is possible that

lists OF the country" Acknowledged by
whom? despite the advertising accord
ed Mr.. Atkinson by the Postofilce De-
partmcnt in excluding certain of his
productions from the United States
mails.-an unwarrantcd and outrage
Gus BIT of meddlcsomcncss,-th great
body of anti-impcrialists have scarcely
