vantage of the low rate for state fair and
the Odd Fellows cOnvOcatlon To visit In
dianapolis, and the wholesale houses on
Sotth Meridian street had busy day,
and the same remark will apply to Commits
sion row and other streets where wholesale
houses are operated, the wholesale dis
trict no longer being confined TO Meridian
street; Pennsylvania and Maryland streets
now competing for the honors. In prices
yesterday changes were few and slight,
iinseed oil, handled by druggists, being the
only unsettled article as TO prices. The
iron and hardware stores had busy time.

that market. The produce markets are
strong in tone, eggs butter and poultry

tivity prices of fruits and vegetables, Irish
potatoes excepted, being very low. Some
choice apples are now offered. Sweet po-
tatoes are of unusually good quality and
