New York, Jan. 21.—Money on call was easy at 2 per cent Prime mercantile paper, 4®5 per cent Sterling exchange was dull, but firm at $4.86f for sixty days and $4.89 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 476,672 shares, including the following: Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 56,680; Delaware & Hudson, 5,600; Erie, 5,535; Kansas & Texas, 9,215; Lake Shore, 53,865; Louisville & Nashville, 12,167; Northwestern, 15,850; New York Central, 10,022; Pacific Mail, 16,282; St. Paul, 94,241; St Paul & Omaha, 4,730; Union Pacific, 17,310; Western Union, 13,705; Northern Pacific preferred, 10,636; Oregon & Transcontinental, 4)050. Government bonds were active and firm. State bonds were neglected. The railway bond market continues quiet, with only a retail business in nearly everything except east Tennessee issues, the sales of which were $443,000, and West Shore, the sales of which were $238,000, while the total transactions in all issues were $1,943,000.

Generally the lowest prices were at or very near the opening, and the highest quotations were shortly before 3 o’clock. The coal stocks were weak all day on account of rumors, which were to the effect that there had been a cut to-day by one company below what had thus far been considered bottom figures. The most important gains, other than those mentioned, were New York & New England, 1|; Louisville & Nashville, 14- There has been a good deal of “bear*’ talk of late about Pacific Mail, including statements that developments of an adverse character were likely to be made in Washington within a short time. It was said to-day, also, that the recent decline in the stock was due principally to a disagreement among the principal holders of long stock, instead of trouble with the company, but nothing of a definite character was made public, and the stock closed at the highest price of the day, with an advance of £.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS. The Situation Much the Same as for Day* Past—Steadiness a Characteristic. Indianapolis, Jan. 21. At no time for years, remarked a merchant of large experience to day, have prices ruled more steady and, on most articles, so firm. Take sugars; they have fluctuated but fc in the last thirty days, while coffees have remained unchanged fully that length of time. In dry goods, prices rule steady and strong all along the line. Indications are that the sugar market will for some time to come maintain its present position. The circular of Mosers. 'Willett, Hamleu & Cos. reports the movement at the four ports, and says the statistical position has improved, the receipts have fallen off ; and the stock in all hands is reduced 5,884 tons, now 37,728 tons less than last year. The receipts since the Ist of January have been 20,813 tons, against 25,605 tons in 1885. The consumption of the United States, through the four ports, has been 23,893 tons, against 22,783 tons in 1885, an increase of 1,110 tons, as compared with last year. The stock on hand is 67,493 tons, against 105,221 tons in 1885, a decrease, as compared with last year, of 37,728 tons. Eastern papers report increasing trade in teas, and there is a confident feeling that some advance will be obtained later in the season. The flour market continues in an unsatisfactory condition. The margin of profit is reduced to a very low figure, when leading brands of flour are selling in single barrel lots at $5.75 @6 per barrel. There is no mistake either about the condition and quality of this flour. There is no better produced in the world, and in large quantities could not be bought for less than $5.50 @5.75 per barrel. It therefore passes through the hands of the receiver, the jobber and grocer at a profit of about twenty-five cents per barrel, and Ahis is what we call doing business on a small margin. Not long ago there was a difference of at least a dollar per barrel before it reached the consumer, and this was looked upon as a fair and reasonable advance. The price cannot be forced up when so large a 6tock of wheat and flour is pressing on all the leading markets of the world, and the trade will not purchase with any confidence until there is a decided redaction in the visible supply here and ahroad. A .favorable change was looked for months ago because it was thought the closing months of the year would show a large reduction in stock, but the reverse has been the case.
