The market opened somewhat irregular, but within a sraail fraction of last evening’s closing quotations, and after a slight decline in some cases, the general list stiffened, and the highest prices of the day were generally realized r>y or soon after 11 ocloek. The movements for the rest of the day were irregular, but about half the active stocks closed at fractional gains over last evening's final quotations. Among the old active list, Pacific Mail shows a net gain of 4, Union Pacific |. (\, I>. 6c. 2- On the other hand. Central of New Jersey is down ij, and Western Union, New York Central, Lake Shore and O. T. each i. The market closed about steady at the changes noted. It was alleged the Vanderbilt party had’been active purchasers of Omahas for several days, which caused considerable strength in those shares. The market closed with the following prices bid:

The “bear” sentiment. however, continues very strong among the room traders, and it is estimated that the “short” interest is a large one. The market, opened a shade firmer, fell back again, then rose to a point }c higher than yesterday, fluctuated, and closed on the regular board Ac higher than yesterday, and advanced an additional %on the afternoon board. The market received most of its early firmness from reports from the Northwest, where the threshing was in progiess. etat ing that the yield was much smaller than last year and less than had been expected.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS. A Cheerful, Hopeful, Feeling Obtains —Prices in the Main Steady. Indianapolis, Aug. 21. The more cheerful and hopeful feeling in commercial circles continues. A majority of the country merchants are meeting bills promptly, and merchants are refusing to sell to long-winded or doubtful customers, consequently business is improving, but owing to the active competition -nearly every article is sold close, and money is not being made so rapidly as formerly. The New York Shipping List, which is very conservative, admits that the commercial situation continues to give evidence of healthy recuperation, and while there are still conspicuous exceptions to this general remark, the tendency almost everywhere appears to he towards improvement, and if any reliance is to be placed upon the reports received from nearly all interior points, the volume of trade is slowly expanding, with a corresponding display of increased confidence in the hopeful conditions that have developed during tne past three weeks. It seems to be generally conceded that low-water mark has been reached, or. as business men put it, that bottom has been touched, and henceforward there is reason to expect a gradual and steady improvement in all that relates to commercial activity. Since the current month opened, the most reliable guideposts unquestionably point towards prog ress that is both satisfactory and encouraging, and as the season advances the prospect continues to brighten. It is scarcely to be expected that everv department of trade will uniformly respond to the development of activity that has commenced, and hence, because iron, coal and wheat continue dull and lower in value, it is claimed that the outlook is still gloomy and disappointing; but important as these markets are in their bearing upon the general trade, it is nevertheless useless to ignore the marked improvement already developed in other quarters more favorably situated for taking advantage of the incoming tide. Locally, in nearly all departments, trade is active. Especially will this remark apply to the grocery and provision markets. The sugar market continues strong, and as will bo seen we have advanced our quotations. Reports from the seaboard state refiners are oversold for the present. Coffee, molasses, syrups, etc., continue quiet and unchanged. Brokers report canned goods trade very dull; that buyers are holding back in expectation of lower prices, and the probability is that some of them will hold too long. The egg market is generally reported dull, and while it continues so no improvement in prices can reasonably be looked for. The supoly of strictly fresh is not large, but fully equal to present wants. The consumption is always light at this season of the year. Choice butter all! fine miid cheese continue in demand and command full prices. Irish potatoes are in better supply again, but. with a steady demand prices are still maintained. Peaches were in better supply, sevtffal car-loads having arrived, and prices ruled lower. Plums and berries continue to meet with a very fair demand. The provision market is still under a cloud, sugar-cured hams being the only description of hog products for which there is really any demand. GRAIN. While the Indianapolis market bears a tame tone prices are better here than in any other market, St. Louis excepted, and dealers take hold with considerable earnestness. The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat: While no special change in quotations, yet the feeling is undoubtedly dull and an absence of interest is noticed. Futures are duil and weak; receipts continue liberal. Wo quote: .

The ftallest and most reliable intelligence from Washington will be presented in our news column*, free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint. Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republican paper, believing in the principles and general policy of tho Republican party; but it recognizes that the day of blind party organship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise and condemn, but in a spirit and with a purpose for good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputation*. The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing in the columns of THK JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial columns such comment and strictures as will command hi* respect if they do not meet his approval.
