To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I desire space in your columns to answer your editorial of July 30 and matters re latins to the action of the Merchants' As sociation and myself pertaining to the ln terurban car-tax question. It '.s strange (In fact, it seems as a dream) that the In dianapolis Journal, through its editorial columns, can advise Its readers that the meager car tax of 2'2 cents each trip should be repealed. If the Journal is honest it surely is blind, as a Republican organ, to Republican principles, of taxation. Indian apolis government requires an income from the many channels of industry and prop erties to operate the city, to pay for police force, fire protection, officials, etc., just as the government of the United States of America requires tariffs on importations and taxes on sugar, tobacco and whiskies, etc., to maintain the government; just in the same way as the industries of this country are maintained to a higher scale of values for their commodities because of tariff protection given thereto. First, I will say, all capital invested in corporation property should have liberal allowances in franchises to operate the in dustry at a good, afe profit upon-the in vestment, but here comes a corporation of lnterurban railway owning one hundred miles of line which is bonded and stocked tor J10.OX,0t0. Its bonds are par upon the market and Its stock 7t bid, making an asset of near $0,0u0,O0 for a property oper ated lets than two years at a construction cost of less than J2,5)0,OuO. Also the same company asserts that it has financed an other proposed road known as the Indiana Northern Traction Company, in which there is to be issued $5,onn,ooo of bonds and $3.500,000 of stock to build about one hun dred miles of railway between Logans port and Indianapolis, which is a bond issue of föO.Oi) a mile, which road can easily re constructed for about one-third of the bond Issue independeirt of the three and one-half million dollars of stock. This company also is operating under a fran chise which its president rushed to the City Council last winter for their ratification of franchise, in which there Is an agreement as to car tax and freight limitations that were then satisfactory. Now comes the Union Traction Company, after it has got under Its wing the little things (short line lnterurbans) which they before desired to squeeze, and since a compact now comes before the administration wanting to break the contract entered Into. If the Journal is right there should be no limlta tions as to how much water should be put in stock and bonds of lnterurban rail ways, because they should have a fran chise elastic enough to make a profit on any amount of water they desire to throw Into their properties. In evidence of this the Union Traction Company and the pro posed Indianapolis fc Northern Traction will have a total issue of stock and bonds of llS.500.ouo for a little over miles of line, with powerhouses and rolling stock, with a total actual Investment of less than $5,0o. Here is where the Journal wants the city of Indianapolis and the taxpayers sac riiiced to bear the burden to pay a profit on $13,5'si,0 of absolute water issue. Is the Journal aware that the city pleads poverty and an Increased city tax is to be put in force? Is it aware that every voter must pay a poll tax of 12. which the city govern ment would take the shirt from a man's back to pay? How extreme these two condi tions! Regarding the meeting" of the Merchants Association directors noted in your columns as advocating the repeal of the car tax I beg to acknowledge that I may as well have presented that letter to McGowan and McCulloch as the directory of the Mer chants' Association. Mr. YVasson and others of that directory are directly in terested and easily hypnotized to the pow ers of Hugh McGowan. and had it been placed before the Merchants' Association as a whole the result would have been far different. The Democratic admlni?tration was disposed to impose a tax of about 30 cents a trip for lnterurban cars, and the Merchants' Association appeared before them opposed to such a rate at this time, advocating a low tax for a short period of years, and surely that was a low tax established at 2l cents per car each way; and If it be a fact that Mr. McCulloch has sobi the bonds to build the Indianapolis & Northern traction, to be operated under the Union traction, he was able to place those bonds on whatever rates are in the fran chise he now has in the Union traction, and therefore why Is it necessary to make further grants, as evidently the bond buyer was s;ire of his security or Mr. McCulloch could not have raised the money. Regarding the funny sayings of the Jour nal pertaining to the little house and land gift, I was not aware that I had such valu able mining property as bed springs and mattresses. Maybe by excavation I would have a very tangible asset applicable to steel rails and possibly feathers, and down within the mattresses to soothe my wooing spirit and help me sleep away and cast in dreams the beautiful prints the Journal deserves. GEORGE J. MAROTT. Indianapolis, July 31. lilt vrith a Cuspidor. Charles Dunham, colored, in attempting to injure a man with whom he was quar reling last night, struck his best friend, Lewis Chrisman, also colored, cutting a Bash on the latter's head that laid bare the skull. The men were in a saloon near Tenth street and the canal about 10:30 o'elock. Dunham and one of the men got into a fight and Dunham threw a cuspidor at the other man. The latter dodged be hind Chrisman. who was hit. Chrisman was very drunk and the injury soon pros trated him. He was taken to the City Dis pensary, were Dr. Forman dressed the wound. THE C. & E. I. MYSTERY XOTFIING DEFINITE KNOWN AS TO WHO HAS PURCHASED THE ROAD. Indications Are that St. Lonla A San Francisco Ia the Owner, font Pres ident Yoaknra Will Not Talk. ILLINOIS CENTRAL A FACTOR RUMOR THAT IT HAS SECtRED CON TROL OF THE SAX FRANCISCO. Formal Consolidation of tlie C, II. : I. antl the I.. D. & W.-The Rock Island Reorganization Scheme. No authoritative announcement has been made concerning the reported tale of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. A dispatch from New York says President Yoakum, of the 'Frisco line, and 11. 11. Porter, of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, yesterday maintained all their reserve of Tuesday and none of the other principals on either side would discuss the matter. The New York Herald of Wednesday said: "Presi dent Yoakum, of the St. Louis & San Fran cisco Railroad, has confirmed to his Intimate friends the purchase by his line of the Chi cago & Eastern Illinois. Nothing bearing an official stamp, however, has been said as to the reasons for the acquisition of the property. The two roads do not connect at any point, and. according to practical railroad men, several hundred miles of construction werk will have to be carried before the big Southwestern system will be able to reap the advantages which the Chicago & Eastern Illinois can supply in the way of an entrance into Chicago. When President Yoakum was seen at the Waldorf he refused to discuss the terms of the pur chase and would neither confirm nor deny a report that the Illinois Central had prac tically concluded arrangements for the ac quisition or lease of his system. I am not ready to talk yet. he said. When questioned as to the reasons of the acquisition of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, when his road Is several hundred miles away from any point of connection, he laughed and said: 'Strange things happen, don't they?' " Of the terms at which the stock will be acquired by the 'Frisco, the Herald attri butes to a director of the first mentioned the statement that there had been no lease of the Eastern Illinois, but an actual sale Each shareholder of the road will, he said. receive for 10) shares of common stock $25,000 in new 4 per cent, collateral trust bonds of the 'trisco and which will be a direct obli gation against It, standing ahead of all its stocks. The terms upon which the preferred stock of the Chicago fc Eastern Illinois will be exchanged are announced. In well- informed banking circles the intimation was quietly given, concludes the Herald. that the Illinois Central either will Decome the owner of the 'Frisco as a result of the present deal, or will lease that prop erty as i counter move against the aggres sions of other interests in the South. MERGING OF HOME ROADS. I., D. A- W. and C, II. I. to Form a Part of a New Through Line. The directors of the Cincinnati, Hamil ton & Indianapolis and of the Indiana, Decatur & Western roads met yesterday at the general offices of the latter and took the preliminary steps to consolidating the two roads under the name of the Cincin nati, Indianapolis & Western, thus carry ing out the programme as announced in the Journal a few weeks ago. It Is under stood that the jurisdiction of C. G. Waldo, general manager, D. G. Edwards, passen ger traffic manager, and A. 11. McLeod. treight traffic manager, will be extended over the consolidated lines. Other officials of the Cincinnati-Hamilton Company are al ready acting in the same capacity. It is stated that probably matters will run along as at present until after Aug. 2S, when the stockholders of the two companies will vote on the consolidation question, which will doubtless be carried through, as parties controlling the majority of the stock of both companies are the movers in the con solidation scheme. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis road is ninety-nine miles in length and extends from Hamilton, O., to Indianapolis, the company having good terminal facilities at Indianapolis and en tering Cincinnati over the Cincinnati, Ham ilton & Dayton tracks. The Indiana, Deca tur & Western extends from Indianapolis to Decatur. 153 miles, with a thirty-two-mile extension. Just completed, to Spring field, 111., and another division known as the Ohio river division, seventy-two miles in length, making a total of 3n miles. Since the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton owners took control of the Indiana. Decatur & Western and its ;xtensions the road has come to be looked upon as having a bright future, as it connects at Springfield, 111., with good feeders who seek a direct route to Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and already a good business from connections is as sured. The road itself passes through the corn belt of western Indiana and central Illinois, and when crops of corn, oats or hay move the line will get its full share of the business. An impression prevails in railroad circles that with the completion of the extension and the consolidation of the two roads the property will become a valu able adjunct to the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton. This consolidation and extension carries out the plan of the late 11. B. Ham mond, who built the Indiana, Decatur & Western, and predicted that It would even tually become part of a great through east and west line, as it undoubtedly will, this step being but the beginning of the merging of roads to form a new through line. ROCK ISLAND REORGANIZATION. W. R. Leeds Re. Elected President Readjustment of Stock. The new Rock Island Railway Company, which filed articles of incorporation at Trenton, N. J., and Des Moines, Ia., yes terday, held a meeting in New York and re elected W. B. Leeds president. William H. Moore was made chairman of the financial executive committee, in which position it is said he will supplant Mr. Cable as chair man of the board. Other members of this committee are Messrs. Field, Leeds, Heid, J. H. Moore and T. L. Hine. Mr. Held was elected secretary and treasurer and Mr. Heggs assistant to Mr. Held. Henry C. Frick was added to the list of directors. Under the Rock Island Company's plans of readjustment each holder of tme hundred shares of common Svock is to receive a $10, 000 bond secured by a collateral trust mort gage upon the present Rock Island stock. In addition to this they receive in the Rock Island Company of New Jersey seventy shares in preferred stock and one hundred shares in common stock; the preferred stock is preferred to the extent of 4 per cent, from the earnings of each year for a period of seven years, when it becomes pre ferred for 5 per cent, for an additional pe riod of seven years, after which it Is pre ferred to the extent of 8 per cent, per an num. The dividend requirement on the present Rock Island stock to meet the 4 per cent, on the bond and 4 per cent, on the amount of prefererd issued Is 7 per cent.. and to the" common stock accrues all the net earnings of the company over and above the 7 per cent, required by the bond and the preferred stock. The bond Is put upon the present Rock Island stock by means of an Iowa operating company, which buys the stock of the present Rock Island company. In turn the Iowa corporation deposits the stock In a New Jersey holding corporation, which issues against it its preferred and common stock. By this means the Iowa corporation bonds have behind them the entire value of the present Rock Island stock, the operation of .the New Jersey company being able In no way to affect the value of this underlying issue of collateral trust bonds. The purpose of the new organization, as recited by the articles filed at Des Moines, Is to conduct a general railroad and tele graph business across the State of Iowa from Davenport to Council Bluffs and else where in the State as desired, and in any other State or Territory of the United States. The life of the corporation is fifty years. The principal place of business la to be in Des Moines, with branch offices to be maintained at Chicago and New York. The annual meeting of the company Is to be held in Des Moines on the third Thursday of October of each year, beginning with 1003. A 'Good Road Trnin. The Great Northern Railroad Company has placed at the disposal of the office of public road inquiries of the United States Department of Agriculture a railroad train for the purpose of transporting representa tives of the officers, engineers, road build ers and road machinery to be used in prac tical object lessons in road building. Road conventions will be held at the cities wheie the train will stop. The train will start from Chicago Aug. 15. and will reach Min neapolis early In September, where demon strations of theoretical and practical roaa building will be given at the state fiir grounds during fair week. At the clofe of the fair the train will continue westward to the Pacific coast, stopping at the princi pal cities of the route, at each of which practical demonstrations in good road build ing will be given. Peraonal, Local and General Notes. J. Q. Van Winkle, general superintendent of the VAg Four, will leave this morning foi Put-In Bay. The Monon lines earned in the third week ofMuly $:o.35t. an increase over the corre sponding week last year of $5,531. It is stated that W. T. Bacus will be the successor of J. B. Flanders as superintend ent of the Cincinnati Northern. Of the bond issue of the Southern Indiana road fl.Geo.oi) have already been sold and $2.100,000 are now offered at 96 and accrued interest. J. M. Humphrey, of Richmond, has taken control of the Union station dining rooms, and is rapidly straightening out the affairs of the establishment. C. E. Earls has been appointed traveling freight agent for the Michigan Central in Canada, with office at Buffalo, vice S. G. Tate, assigned to other duties. Harry Townsend. general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific, is in the East, and Eastern papers contain inter esting interviews with this veteran passen ger man. G. P. Mena and A. Miranda have been appointed Joint commercial agents in charge of freight and passenger business for the Mexican Railway Company and the Interoceanic Railway of Mexico. The officials of the West Virginia Cen tral & Pittsburg road announced yesterday a voluntary increase of wages of Its em ployes of 10 per cent. All employes in the transportation department are included. E. A. Peck, trainmaster of the Baltimore & Ohio, has been promoted to trainmaster at Connellsville, on the same road, and the jurisdiction of J. P. Fitzgerald, trainmas ter of the Lake Erie division, has been extended. It is said that Harry W. Ashley will be appointed general manager of the Wabash, and that the jurisdiction of General Man ager Bllckensderier. general manager of the Wheeling & Lake Erie, will be extended over the Ann Arbor road. President Henry L. Lamb, of the Chatta nooga Southern Railroad, denies emphati cally the reports that the Louisville & Nashville had bought the Chattanooga Southern. He declares there nas been no negotiations to that end. Under a new regulation all passenger conductors who have been in the service of the Philadelphia & Reading road five years are to be given a vacation for ten days with full pay and transportation free to any point on the company's system. On Aug. 12 grain rates from Kansas City to Chicago will be advanced to 12 cents on wheat and 11 cents on other grain; to Mis sissippi river points, 7 cents on wheat and 6 cents on other grain; to gulf ports, 14 cents on wheat and 15 cents on other grain. The Erie has followed its expulsion of news and candy agents from the aisles of its trals by putting the bootblacks off of its ferry boats. The boys had become too impu dent In pressing their occupation, says J. M. Cherry, superintendent of floating equip ment. The annual report of the Southern Rail way will show, gross earnings in the year ended June 30, of $37,67S.32S. an increase over the previous year of $1.90,5. The gross earnings nearly doubled in five years, and the mileage ha increased from 3,lt79 to 5,5f'S in that period. The Atlantic City excursion of the Penn sylvania lines yesterday was one of the best patronized the company has ever run, fully 1,500 persons availing themselves of the cheap trip. It required thirty-seven sleeping cars to carry those who went from points on the Western lines. A. A. Zion. superintendent of the Union Railway Company, has appointed F. D. Norville chief of the information bureau to be opened to-day. He will have two as sistants; one will be H. F. Smltha; the other has not yet been selected. Both are promoted from positions on the Belt road. M. B. Snow, who to-day becomes division superintendent of the Michigan Central, is but t wenty-eitrht years old. and a graduate of Michigan University. He has been rail roading but four years, and his promotion makes him the youngest division superin tendent of any importance in the United States. Officials of the Elgin, Jnllet & Eastern and the Lake Shore fc Eastern have ad justed the grievances of the train crews who asked for an advance In pay. After several conferences it was agreed to main tain the old rate of compensation with a re duction from twelve hours to eleven for a day's work. It is stated that no date has been fixed for the formal transfer of the Monon to the Louisville & Nashville and the Southern. Technically, change of control has already been effected, but legally the transfer will not occur, so it is authoritatively stated, until the latter pnrt of August or the early part of September. The Wabash announces another reduc tion in rates, and hereafter parties num bering from ten to nineteen will be en titled to a rate of 2 cents per mile west of the Mississippi river. Its Justification is that the lower rate Is made by Central Traffic Passenger lines, and no discrimina tion can be made on different parts of the Wabash system. E. H. Reed, assistant chief clerk to S. W. Miller, master mechanic of the Pan handle shops, will to-day take the position of storekeeper with office at Terre Haute, for the Vandalia. Mr. Reed has been in the service of the Pennsylvania fifteen years, his first position being that of tele graph operator at Richmond. Ind. He was the originator of the big athletic meets that have been so successfully held by the different divisions of the Pennsylvania lines west In the last five or six years. A large number of passengers are going to the Pacific coast from Aug. 1 to 10. The Pullman company has orders for fifty-five sleepers from this territory. The largest party in one train will be seven carloads from Muncie. Alexandria and Elwood. via the L. E. & W. and C. & A. route. There will be a party of lOu passengers from In dianapolis. From special announcements of rates for the K. of P. excursionists the Yosemite valley trip from San Francisco can be made in forty-eight hours by stage over oiled roads. For a five-day trip, in cluding everything, stage, meals, etc., the rate is $50, the same as the Yellowstone Park trip. CAR TAX WILL STAY. (COXCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) municipality and we cannot see that we are justified under the present circum stances in abandoning this policy." "That amazes me," said Mr. McGowan, "I have gone into this terminal business on the theory that the car tax was to be remitted and believed If we offered the so lution of that problem that we have offered it would be done. You have asked me In addition as a part of this transaction to make extensions and build cross-town lines and nothing has been said to discourage the belief that the car tax would be remitted." "So far as I am concerned," said Mr. Mc Culloch, "I am willing to stand on my pres ent contract and accept the same terms for the Indianapolis Northern, but there are seven other gentlemen who entered this arrangement only with the understanding that this tax was to be remitted. I am sat isfied with the lax and have not asked that It be remitted, so far as I am personally concerned. But I would like to know if you have reached that decision what we are to meet for again?" "The situation is this." said Chairman Megrew, "the proposal from the lnterurban Interests as a consideration for the re moval of the car tax is not satisfactory to this board. We will meet together again to discuss what further may be done. The lnterurbans may have another proposal or we may have one. If neither has a new proposal, if no compromise can be reached, then the thing will be over." "Am I to understand then that the city may make a counter proposal?" CITY'S NEW PROPOSITION. "You may assume." said the mayor, "that the city will have something to offer that It will regard as a proper tax on the lnterurban business in this city." Mr. Megrew announced that the board would meet In executive session at 11 o'clock to-day and would expect the lnter urban representatives to be present. Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Smith agreed to notify the other representatives of the meeting. The lnterurban men were seemingly not pleased by the abrupt turn of affairs. Mr. McCulloch said he felt sure they would make no new proposition. It Is understood that the proposal of the city will be a com promise. It will be less than the tax fixed on the Union Tractlo-n Company but more than has before been considered. The Tag gart administration fixed the rates for the periods at 3, 5 and 8 cents per car. The first offer of the present administration was 5, 8 and 10 cents, but the franchise was sub sequently amended and the periods changed so that the rates for the periods are 5. 10, 15 and 25 cents per car. A compromise will likely fix 13 cents per car as the maximum for three periods of ten years each. While official circles would not say that these terms would be accepted, there is a feeling that the lnterurban lines will meet the board half way and agree to them. The hostility of a number of councilmen to the elimination of the car tax is as pro nounced as that of the mayor and the board, so that it is believed no agreement can ever be concluded by both branches of the city government without an adequate tax being provided. The mayor believes that the Union company, by reason of Its great system, is better able to pay a higher tax than the shorter lines, and so far as the Union company is concerned its tax will remain as now fixed in its contract. Mr. McCulloch said he could not see why this theory was held by the mayor, as all the companies run a car each hour. GEORGE J. M AROTT'S PROPOSAL. He Mflkcs Cash Offer for Terminal Franchilf Mayor Statement. George J. Marott is continuing his opposi tion to the present plans for settling the lnterurban question. Hardly had his pro posal as to a donation of a lot, which he says is worth $6,000, to the technical school if the car tax was not eliminated got cold until he announced another. Since Mayor Bookwalter has announced that the car tax will not be eliminated some of the friends of the technical school feel that Mr. Ma rott will be bound to either donate the property or give its equivalent as a cash donation. His new proposition involves amounts where six numerals must be used. It was sent to Mayor Bookwalter simultaneously with its publication to the community. The proposal which reached the mayor was as follows: "I hereby offer through you as the city's agent to place $25,000 at the city's com mand and the further sum of one-half million dollars in obligation, payable $50, 0V) per annum when system is in operation, for and in consideration that the city grant to me a franchise to operate and maintain an electrical street and interurban railway through the streets of Indiananolls for thirty years. This offer is based upon a franchise covering obligations to build a terminal station and freight depots. "Also, I will further agree a further con cession In the franchise that freight rates shall not exceed 75 per cent, of the rat8 now exacted b3' the steam lines, of any interurban that the terminal company has any ownership In. to establish reduced pas senger fares, selling eight tickets for 25 cents. "This offer Is conditioned that the fran chise and rights are made as broad as now is understood under consideration to be granted without any benefits to the citv of Indianapolis otherwise than the service therefrom." Last evening Mr. Marott enlarged his offer. He said he would in addition to the $525.000 offered give $200.000 to ten chari table Institutions of the city, to be paid at the rate of $l,0i0 a year to each for twenty years. If he received the franchise that Mr. McGowan is asking. The announcement of the proposition soon became known and the city officials expressed the belief that it was another weapon of Mr. Marott's in his interurban warfare against the Union Traction Com pany interests and George F. McCulloch. They did not deem it a proposition that was either practical or binding. MAYOR BOOKWALTER S STATEMENT. In discussing Mr. Marott's proposal Mayor Bookwalter said: "His proposal docs not appeal to me with any more force than the one he made yesterday, offering to donate a lot that he asserts is valued at $6,000 to the technical school, when he knows that no reputable real estate man in the city would fix its value at over $l,SO0. I cannot say that I have unbounded confidence In the good faith of the pro posal, but if I had it is open to so many objections that it seems absurd to consider It. Mr. Marott asks for an entirely new electric street-railway system. He is not interested in any interurban roads that I know of, and I do not know how he in tends to bring them into his terminal ar rangement when they have all signed con tracts with the Indianapolis Street-railway Company. I do not believe the people want additional car lines in the streets anyway, nor am I impressed by Mr. Marott's pro posal to sell tickets eight for a quarter as being any advantage, when he cannot transfer his passengers so that they may reach their destination. "I believe the natural and convenient solution of the question is the loop sys tem under consideration and the terminal project m connection with the Indianapo lis company's lines. I do not see how otherwise it is going to be settled. It looks like Mr. Marott was following the footsteps of other schemes for an inter urban terminal system which the city has not granted. Besides Mr. Marott has many personal reasons for wanting to embarrass the participants in the pending negotia tions, and this is made evident by his offer to make freight rates Into the city 75 per cent, of the steam rates with all companies he may own or control and he owns or controls none. This was Just to cut under the minimum agreed to by the board. With the interurban companies un der contract with the Indianapolis com pany, as they now are, how would he con trol any of their terminal business? I see nothing in Mr. Marott's proposal, in cluding the appearance of personal ill will, that merits serious consideration." I'NIO.V TRACTION STOCK. Grander FanveU S: Co. I'nnlile to Se cure Any nt 7 Rid. ( A. R. Thompson, local manager of Gran ger Farwell & Co., made a strong effort yesterday to purchase Union Traction Com pany common stock on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, and, although he raised the bid quotations 30 points during the day, he was unsuccessful in securing any of the stock. The common stock is $4.000.000. Mr. Thompson said the stock was at 30 bid last week, with little on the market. On Tues day of this week a few shares were offered in Philadelphia at 4. Wednesdav Mr. Thompson bid 45 for stock, but it was with drawn. Yesterday he raised his bid to 50, but that failed to bring out any sellers. He then Jumped it to 55 and later to 0. Win throp Smith, a Philadelphia broker, raised the bid to 65 and Mr. Thompson jumped the bid to 76 but failed to secure any stock. He said the holders of the stock tried to keep the price down last week, hoping to secure a few outstanding shares, but when the price Jumped up no one who owned any of the stock would sell. Mr. Thompson believes the recent agita tion concerning the Interurban Terminal Company's application for a franchise in this city and the probability that a fran chise will be granted is responsible for the holders of stock refusing to sell at the great advance. A Short Delay Announced. Charles Finley Smith's Martirfsville line will not begin operation to Mooresville to day, as was expected. Mr. Smith says It will be Monday or Tuesday before every thing will be in shape for regular service to that point. The English-avenue extension of the In dianapolis Street-railway Company will be put in operation to-day. The extension Is from State street to Keystone avenue, and has been delayed considerably by reason of a railroad crossing. Indiana Department, G. A. R.

Being the last day of the month, trade yesterday at the wholesale houses was quiet. The business of July has been satis factory In Its volume, as no great things were expected. With the coming of August trade should soon improve. Prices wer steady through July. Dry goods, staple groceries, iron and hardware, drugs, oils and paints, linseed oil excepted, ruled steady. On Commission row prices have fluctuated from day to dav with receipts, but at no time have prices been high. Melons ruled low. Cereallne products have been high, but with the coming of August lower prices are assured. So abundant are the grain crops that there will be no ex cuse for higher prices than have usually prevailed. Tnere is one market that has ruled strong the entire month, and that is produce. Never has there been a July In the history of Indianapolis when poultry, eggs and butter have sold at such high figures, and the poultry and egg market is still in strong position, but butter is on the decline.
