LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
HEAVY RAINS DO LITTLE HARM TO
BUSINESS INTERESTS.
Easier Feeling I'm Poultry-Good Move
ment I'm Groceries-Good Demand
and Light Receipts in Grains.

Fortunately for Indianapolis merchants
the heavy rains Of the last few days have
done but little damage In the territory in
which retail merchants draw their supplies
from the local wholesale houses. AS re-
CARDS prices. but few changes were made
yesterday. The produce market shows a
weakening tendency-especially poultry,
springs dropping from 20 to Is cents a pound.
Eggs are arriving much more freely, but
no change in prices has been made The
active consumptive demand has fallen off
somewhat. as 1t always does at this season
OF the year. and buyers do not object t.
paying strong prices when the stock is
guaranteed According 70 report more sum-
mer eggs will be put in store this year than
usual The butter trade continues active.
with no accumulation of stock but with the
Improvement in pasturage following the
late rains the output of butter will be large
iy increased and prices probably will break.
The provision market is active Lower
prices have caused an increased movement.
At present the feeling appears to be that
prices will go still lower: as a consequence,
future requirements are not anticipated.
Cured meats have not gone of as much as
hogs. but 1t is well to bear in mind that
the FORMER ola not advance In proportion
to the latter. There is continued active
trade In -four. and while prices remain un-
changed the undertone appears to Indicate
confidence: The feeling generally is that the
.nnrs1et viii continue steady and strong dur
ing the rest OF the crop year, and IL will be
some weeks yet before -four is made from
this years wheat. Mill feed Is not as active
with the Improvement in pasturage, but as
the supply Is meager the market is strong
Groceries are fast movers. The wholesale
houses are selling very close and there are
not the profits in the business. that there
was years ago Sugars are moving better.
rs they always do with the advent OF the
fruit season, but are still sold so low that
there IS little money in them for the whole
cale merchants. Coffees and teas are NOV
ing freely. Rice, In addition 10 being active
is stronger The effort. of late to stifren
canned Tomatoes has not been a success
The pack or last year was record breaker
and IL Is not surprising that prices have
remained low Lake fish firm and high
er and fair movement in mackerel Is re-
ported. In other lines there are no features
calling for special mention.

Ia. r. Thompson & Co.'s telegram
NEW YORK, June 2.-Advantage was
taken of liquidation, caused directly and in
directly by weakness in securities in which
Canadians are interested, to cover shorts
by the Weil-Waldorf crowd. At the close
they were bidding prices up. probably with
the idea of helping the market to a level
where they will again be willing to put out
short lines. There was some buying by
commission houses when strength was
shown. Concerns which bought yesterday
on declines in a supporting way sold on the
advance.
