LOCAL TRADE Is ACTIVE
L INDICATIONS POINT TO A PROS
Porous FALL SEASON.
Another Break in Refine Sugars
ceipts Continue Disappointing.

The week opened with prospects favorable
to a brisk trade for the rest of the month.
Travelling statesmen who came on Saturday
say the recent rains all over the territory
which draws it's supply from indianapolis
markets have instilled new life into trade
and 1t is no longer questioned that even
with a lighter corn crop the better prices
paid and the revenue derived from the
large wheat, oats and hay crops will make
it even a more prosperous year than 1900.
Retail merchants are inclined to stock up
quite literally. Yesterday there were no
important changes in quotations. Dry goods
ruled steady at the recent adjustment.
Druggists report trade improving; oil and
paints weak in price, other articles they
handle ruling steady and firm, unless it
be quinine, which still has a downward
tendency. The leather market is more act
i've, with a tendency TO higher prices, al
though no changes were made yesterday.
The hide market is dull and disappointing.
The fluctuations in the wheat market the
last few days has tended to weaken prices
on flour, although locally no changes have
been made. Sugars and coffees are I'M
changed In price locally, but are moving
out with less activity. The sugar trust
yesterday reduced its prices at New York
1Oc per hundred on all refined grades. The
demand for refined sugars is expected to
be larger after the first of next month.
The strength in the canned goods situation
is unbroken, interest being centered in the
outcome OF the packing season., and 1t
is now a question of how much stock can
be supplied, not a mater of prices. Dried
fruits are moving better on Commission
row, and for Monday there was consid-
PrahlP aRflNirV Peaches nf all grades
and all prices are on the market. In APP
piles there is, an Improvement in quality.
Prices rule much the same. The call for
lemons is steady, but not large, with prices
easier. Receipts of poultry are increasing.
but with a good demand for healthy large
chickens there is no accumulation of stock.
but plenty of poor stuff. Eggs are firm at
quotations and are in active request.
Cheese is holding firmly at quotations. the
expected advance not yet materializing
Other lines are without new features.
The local grain market opened weak in
tone. Wheat was half a cent lower than
on saturday. and while no changes were
made in prices of corn, a weaker tone was
indicated. On the local wagon market
prices went off 4 cents during the after
noon, selling at 66c a bushel. Receipts of
all cereals are disappointing in volume.
