The local money market presents no new features, and yesterday was a quiet day. Rates unchanged at 7®B per cent. Eastern exchange in demand at a premium. Very little was offered, and bankers were free shippers of currency. The New York Money Market—Stock Transactions —Cloning Prices of Government Securities—Quotations of General Stocks. New York, Oct 2.—Mouey easy at 2*a®3 per cent., closed at 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 6®7 per cent. Produce exports for the week, $0,826,000. Government bonds strong. Railway securities about steady. West Shore firsts weaker, at 74Cg®74 7 8. State bonds inactive. Another dull day in stock circles. At the opening the market was firm and higher, with a general advance in prices of *4® I*6 per cent., the latter Western Union, on a favorable decision ot the Court of Appeals legalizing the $15,526,500 Stock issued at the time of the consolidation of the American Union and the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company with the Western Union in 1881. After 11 o’clock the market whs quiet aud barely steady, and continued until afternoon, when a sharp attack was made on C., 0.. C. & 1., carrying the stock down from 61*8 to 55. This was followed by attacks ou the Grangers and Lackawanna. Owing to the absence of supporting orders the ranis were generally successful, prices being forced down 4 tn 2 percent., Northwestern preferred Buffeting the most. There was a little recovery at the close, but the market left off weak. As compared with last night’s close, prices are down %®2 per cent, except for Wabash and Chicago, Burlington A Quincy, •which are a fraction higher. In the specials Alton A'rerre Haute broke 4bj, to 50, Milwaukee; Lake. Bbore <fe Western preferred 2, to 41; Ohio Central l to 2*4; and Bt. Louis A San Francisco preferred 1, to 47, Chicago, at. Louis A Pittsburg preferred rose 1, to 47; Mutual Union I**, to 19: and Honiestake mining to 17*9. The depression in Northwestern was occasioned by rumors that the company had been selling treasury stock. These rumors bail been used before, but not with as much effect as to day. It can be authoritatively stared that the stones are without foundation. In fact, the Evening Post says: “As the bears were evidently afraid to sell any of the prominent stocks, which are known to be supported, the Issue was made by a few carries on Alton & Terre Haute and C., (.;., C. & 1., the first of which was sold down 4*9 points, and the latter 6>4 Whether there is any reason in the financial affairs of the road for a decliue or not, it is believed the depression to-day was artificial, the general situation in railroad affairs, averaging earnings of $9,000 and no immediate; prospect of a serious complication in regard to rates.” A special correspondent of the Post has gone over the corn district west and northwest of .Chicago, and as far as Bt. Paul, in the last week, and gives as the opinion of the best farmers and Sierchants that the damage to the corn crop is largely overestimated; that if the corn does not actually freeze before it dries out there will be an abundant crop, even In the froßred districts: also, that there is a very large supply of old corn io the country yet.

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and Provision Markets Indianapolis, Oct. 2. Our merchants are summing up the business >* the nine months of the c.urren year, which diows a fair decree of prosperity. Prices have is a rule been close to th’e productive ce--’ and Margins of profit ha* * been slight. In many in:Motant hrau(dies t business the period has ktu one ol sbrina.ijre, while the volume of trade

han been restricted and unsatisfactory. Yet the condition of business at. the beginning of the lust quarter ot 1883 Is such as to warrant a hopeful view of its prospects. The most encouraging element in the business situation at present is the fact that the readjustment of values in the leading branches of legitimate industry, which has been going ou since the opening of the year, is apparently completed, and that trade is now progressing with confidence and security. The wholesale trade in the leading lines of merchandise this fall, though a little late in gettinglunder way, bids fair to attaiu a large volume. The manufacturing interests are gaining in activity. Grocers are having a good trade. Sugars and coffees continue iu strong posiiion, and molasses and syrups are active aud firmer. In the produce markets there is tiie usual fall activity. There has been but little change in the positlou of the egg market for a couple of days with the exception of slightly Increased receipts, which it is believed has arrested the upward tendency. The arrivals of butter are also more liberal. There is a good demand for poultry as prices become more reasonable. Cheese rules strong at quotations. Apples and potatoes in fair supply and selling better than ten days ago. Everything now indicates a healthy fall trade. The great grain staples of the country arcmoviug steadily. Wheat has been steady of late, the prospect or a full crop having had the effect of bringing prices down to an acknowledged low level. It is now generally conceded that a large crop of corn will be secured, the decline of at Ctatcago last week showing that the fear ot the crop Inking made short by the early frosts is generally abandoned. All these elements forbid any expectation of a grand boom during the last three months of 1883. But they allow tne hope that a moderate and conservative activity will compensate to a great degree for the adverse influences which have affected ousiucss during the first threequarters of the year. GRAIN. Dullueeis the characteristic of the grain markets generally. The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat: “Our home markets arc somewhat-quiet, aud very little desire is seen to trade.

Editor* :— The above is a good likeness of Mrs. Lydia E. ham, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human beings may be truthfully callodthe “Dear Friend of Woman,’* as some of her correspondents love to call her. Slie is zealously devoted to hor work, which is the outcome of a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady assistants, to help her answer the large correspondence which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its special burden of suffering, or joy at release from it. Her Vegetable Compound is a mcdicino for good and not evil purposes. I have personally investigated it and am satisfied of the truth of this. On account of Its proven merits. It is recommended and prescribed by the best physicians in the country. One sayst “It works like a charm and saves much pain. It will euro entirely the worst form of falling of the uterus, Leucorrhoea, irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the consequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to the Change of Life.” It permeates every portion of the system, and gives new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weakness of the stomach.

TRUE Temperance Is not signing a pledge or taking a solemn oath that cannot be kept, because of the non-removal of the cause —liquor. Hie way to make a man temperate is to kill the desire for those dreadful artificial stimulants that carry so many bright intellects to premature graves, and desolation, strife and unhappiness into so many families. Itisafact! Brown’s Bitters, a true non-alcohol-ic tonic, made in Baltimore, Md.,by the Brown Chemical Company, who are old drugg'sts and in every particur reliable, will, by removing the craving appetite of tire drunkard, and by curing the nervousness, weakness, and general ill health resulting from intemperance, do more to promote temperance, in the strictest sense then any other means now known. It is a well authenticated fact that many medicines, . especially* bitters,’are nothing but cheap whiskey vilely concocted for use in local option countries. Such is not the case with Brown’s Iron Bitters. It is a medicine, a cure for weakness and decay in the nervous, muscular, and digestive organs of the body, producing good, rich blood, health and strength. Try one bottle. Price #I.OO.
