GOOD WEEK IN BUSINESS
GATHERINGS IN THE CITY ALMOST
CLEARED PRODUCE MARKETS.
Wholesale Houses Visited by Many
Out-Of-TOwn Dealers, who Were
Large Buyers-Grains Are Slow.

So large were the gatherings at I%ndianap-
oils last week that despite the sadness on
account of the funeral ceremonies of the
late President trade was active. Cheap
rates brought in many retail merchants and
they were liberal buyers. Especially did
the dry goods houses. the hat and cap deal
ers, the milliners, the confectioners and
wholesale grocery houses have a very busy
week. Changes in prices were few. One adj
vance was made in sugars, two in linseed
oils; eggs advanced 2 cents a dozen and are
in active request, those in storage being
withdrawn to meet the demand. Choice
butter is in active demand and if very good
as high as Is cents was paid the past week.
Poultry, as we'll. met with large sale and
the market on Saturday was we'll cleared
Of stock. but a break is looked for during
the coming week. Fruits and vegetables
are fast movers if choice at best quota
lions. With the exception of Irish potatoes
the vegetable supply is large. Inferior
| goods move slowest as the range Of prices
on choice stock is so low that consumers
can indulge in the best offered. Oranges
are moving better, but lemons are slow of
sale. Bananas rule steady and are selling
well. The hide market was fairly active at
unchanged prices and leather is active with
prices firm and with an advancing ten
dency. Flour is firm and moving quite
freely. other markets are without new 1ea-
lures.
The local grain market is disappointing.
Receipts by railroad are light, while all
cereals are in good request. On the wagon
market offerings were light of both corn
and oats. and the sellers were able to get
20 cents for much of the corn sold. oats
went off l cent during the week. Some
DAYS hay was in large supply and prices
broke a little. but choice timothy sold from
$l2. so to S13 a ton. Straw advanced 81 a ton
and was a good seller at that figure. Track
bids. as reported by the secretary of the
Board of Trade, on Saturday, ruled as fol-
