Exchange More Plentiful and Bank Deposits Growicj Grain Market Quiet Produce Scarce Fruits and Vegetables Plentj. monby and stocks. Good Demand for Mousy from Local Merchants-Beak Deposits Increasing. Indianapolis bankers report a plentiful supply of money, with a good demand from local borrowers. Many jobbers are now paying for holiday goods who have not yet collected from country merchants. The latter are a little slow in paying for purchases, hence wholesalers are compelled todiscount bills or borrow to meet their own accounts. There is an increased supply of exchange, due largely to recent larse shipments of grain to the sea-board. The demand, however, is equal to the supply. Deposits in bank were heavier yesterday and the day before than for some time past. T lie re is no change in money or exchange rates. The clearances and balances of the six ' associated banks of the city, yesterday, compared with the corresponding day last year, were: . Jan. 8. 1892. Jan. 8, 1891.

At New York yesterday money on call was easy, ranging from 2V to 3 per cent., the last loan being made at 2M per cent; closing offered at 2V per cent, rrinio mercantile paper, 44'26 per cent sterling exchange was quiet and strongat for sixty-day billa and fcU5 for demand. The total tales of stocka were 56,efc5 flairs, including the following: Atchison, 27.005; Chicago Gas, 79,010; Delaware. Lackawanna & Western, 5.180; Erie, 4,fl33; Louisville & Nashville. 13.095; Manhattan, 8.0C8; Missouri Pacific, C.7C0; NorthwestetT"a,.Vil; Northern Pacific preferred. fc,5I0; New England, 80,3:0; Beading, 5,520; liichmoud & West Point. C3.003; fct, Paul, 13,410 St. Paul & Omaha, 3,200. The stock market was very active and feverish throughout, but while the amount ( of business done falls short of that of yesterday there was no less interest in the transactions, which were, if anything, more significant on the whole The irregularity in the movement continued to be a feature of the trading until the close, and while New England. Kocfc Island. Manhattan. Louisville, New Albany & Chicago and Northern Pacific preferred, with come1 of the low-onced specialties, were specially ntrone, Missouri Pacific. Union Pacific, Distillers and Atchison were weak points. The general list, however, was quiet and moved within comparatively narrow limits, and the excessive trading in the few xnoro prominent stocks brought the Cay's business to its highest figure. The "bears'' were again active and aggressive and made drives at several stocks at different times. These ellorts Thursday and yesterday have, it is 1 vlieved. closea the stop orders, which ht- e been a menace to the speculation. The transactions in Chicago Gaswere still enormous yesterday morning; probably 0,000 sharses changed hands in the first fifteen minutes' trading. While it opened atdifferent prices, from 73 to 71. while it only went Vper cent, below the former price during the day, the strength displayed by the stock quic&lv restored confidence, and it advanced to T.Vn, the general market gathering strength in the meantime. The feverishness, however, never departed from the stock, and the drop of 3 percentin listillers,which was engineered for further e fleet upon the general market, seemed to have no further influence than this. This decline was as quickly recovered as the other, and New England immediately came to the front, continuing its remarkable upward movement, helped by further rumors favorable to the company. Special pressure was brought to bear upon the Gould shares, and Union Pacific displayed real weakness, but the sharp upward movement given Manhattan served to disseminate the idea that the insiders were not in the efforts to depress these shares. The late dealings were also marked by a sham advance in the coalers, supposed to be another move against the aborts." and Jersey Central, Delaware V Hudson and Lackawanna all scored sub Stan tial gains. The most remarkable movement of the day, however, was in the securities of the New York & Northern. the stock advancing on large transactions , from 194 to 2G, the bonds lollowmg closely. Most of this was retained at the close. The general list opened generally small fractions higher, but the movements continued in a email scale, and the irregularity was one of the features of the day. though the market displayed considerable strength throughout. The advances last evening were more numerous than losses. There was a final effort to knock prices off in the last hour, but it was met by the advances in Manhattan and the coalers, and the market closed active and firm, generally at small fractional gains for the day. Distillers are 1?s t)er cent. lower, but New England is np2, and Kock Island, Northern Pacifio preferred, and Kicbmond & West Point are each 1 per cent, higher, while New Yerk & Northern, Richmond & West Point preferred, and Susquehanna St Western preferred are np larger amounts. Railroad bonds were less animated than Thursday, but there was no diminution of the strength of the dealings, and while, as usual of late, the material gams are few, the whole list moved up without eflort. The special features of the day were the New York & Northern seconds and the Richmond & West Point, the former moving up from 55 to G3h, and closing at C3. The total transactions were $3,250,000, the three issues mentioned being the only active specialty. Government bonds were dnll. but firm. State bonds were entirely neglected.

TTheat Weak and Corn and Oats Qniet rw Offerings on Account of Low Price. No unusual features msrked the bidding in the local Board of Trade grain pits yesterday. Wheat was weak, and corn and oats quiet The inspections in posted on tLe bulletin boards were: One car of No. 2 red wheat, and twenty.two of corn, twenty gradine No. 3 white, and two No. 4 white. Buyers for export and shippers reported themarkets weak and lowerat the opening, but later there was a recovery, and at the clone steadinesa prevailed. TLe Last is still well supplied with low-grad corn. Cars are more plenty, but the ntTerings at interior points are not free, owing to the low prices ruling at the sea-board. The firmer tone at the close was due to increaned demand for export. Prices on 'Chanue yesterday ruled as follows: WheatNo. 2 red. fOc; No. 8 red. 87c; rejected.

Catawbas in baskets, in fair condition, can be purchased for little more than they cost last October. Shipments to this market of all perishable goods have temporarily stopped, owing to the freezing weather, but as trade is slightly dnll, prices aro not likely to advance.

TRADING AT CHICAGO. Reaction in Wheat and Boom In Provisions Sent Corn Skyward. CHICAGO. Jan. a Wheat made a weak start to-day and for a time it looked as if it had no friends left The sharp break of yesterday had exhausted the margins on many deals and bronzbt the property cpon tbe market. The "longs" were discouraged and sacrificed their holdings while there was still a good deal of bold and vigorons "short" selling. Lower cables helped to develop early weakness and for a time the outlook was demoralizing and the price went off over lo from yesterday's close. But on this break the selling suddenly came to a bait. Then the cold wave began to cause uneasiness for tbe winter wheat. New York reported clearances in wheat and flour of about 500,000 bn, and pork starting on a boom. These all combined to bring about a sharp re action. Some of the early sellers took fright and began to buy back. Scalpers bought for an up-turn, and "shorts," who had been holding off to cover at the bottom, began to think it might be prudent to cover at once, and did so. Under this demand prices gradually improved, and the loss was regained. George Smith, Lester, SchwartzDupee and Milinine and Bod man were good buyers on tbe break. Pardridge was also a liberal buyer almost from the start, and was supposed to be covering the "short" line he has been putting out for a week. Private dispatches from San Francisco said the export surplus of the Pacifio coast would be exhausted by Feb. 1. The market continued strong to the close, in spite of tbe fact that the cables were all weak, Berlin being 2 Vic lower and Paris showing sbont tbe same decline. May opened ragged, with sales in ditlereut parts of the pit at tbo same time at all tbe way between D24sc and ittc, against 03V;o at tho close yesterday. The market shortly touched 9:; Vac, then broke badlv. going to 92'ic, rallied, and, with minor reactions, advanced to lsc. closintr firm at ItfVjc. Corn was fairly active and stronger. Early in the session it sold off a trifle on the sharp break in wheat, but soon turned around and sold up Vsc or more, helped by the reaction in wheat and the boom in provisions. The receipts were only 117 cars, with, but six of the contract grade. Tho market hold its own throughout the day and closed near the top. May opened Ho off. at 41o, slowly advanoed to 41 Vsc, and closed at 41 c Oats were quiet and firm, and show an advance of 'ii'Vsc. Hogprodtula scored a deoided advance to-day. Tho continued free shipments East of live bo is. with the stitlnessin prices at the yards, lias begun to make packers uneasy. Armour was a large buyer to-day and packers generally were on the buying side, while "shorts' covered freely. May pork started at J 11. SO. the price at which it closed yesterday, advanced to $11.72Vfe, broke to $11.60. rallied to S11.82H and closed at 11.60, a gain of 50c per barrel. Lard is up .17Vio and ribs .17V'2.20c Estimated receipts for to-morrow are, 123 cars of wheat, 176 cars of corn, 147 cars of oats and 27,000 hogs. The leading futures ranged as follows:

The wheat market did not recover this mornins from the land-slido dtyesterday. but it held its level better than a good many traders thought it could.An earnest eflort was made at the opening of the session to advance the price. The opening for May was 834c, Vto under last night's close. For a time the price held between bSvs0 and iS7sc, but at this time long wheat began to come out in Chicago, and there was a break. It looked a little dubious for a time, but after tho price for sellers had reached 87Vbo there was recovery, thoush without an effort. It fell to 87Tjc again after going to 88Vfcc The next recovery was for the better, inside of an hour the price went to a bid at 89c, and in the meantime held quite steady between 88Vtc and 8878C. Then some sales were made at b87j 2?9o, when another break at 10 o'clock put the price back to SSVtc. Near the close there was a bulge that helped the situation considerably, as it started the market toward a reaction. The price of May was run up Vic, closing at 89c; January at 85 Vic. The cash market was considerably disturbed by the break iu price. No. 1 Northern sold to-day at 80Vtc. and No. 1 hard only brought the No. 1 Northern price of two days ago. There was a good demand for No. 1 Northern. Tbe receipts of wheat here were 374 cars, and 58 at Dnluth and Superior. Closing prices: January closed at 85V$c; May opeued at bSc. highest 89c, lowest 87?ic, closed at 89c On track: No. 1 bard, 87Vsc; No. 1 Northern, 8oVtc; No. 2 Northern. 80SS3c. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8.

DUX&CO.'SREVIEWOF THADE

Gloomy Ontlook for tho South Continues with Rainocs Price of Cotton, Lowest Figure for that Prcdnct Sines 1SI9 New Year Opens Favoratls for the North with an Unprecedented Foreign demand. NewYomt. Jan. & R. G. Dnn fe Ca'i weekly report of trade says: The first week of the new year has been marked by some striking events. These changes do not threaten, but promise to help the legitimate business of the country, which over confident speculation at this time might have embarrassed. Tbe government issued this week its final statement of the yield of wheat, corn and oats. The yield of wheat now reported exceeds previous department estimates to such an extent that the price has dropped sharply S Vic for the week on sales of only fifteen million bushels. Oats also dropped 2 Vc. but cora rose an eighth, large exports, actually exceeeing those of wheat, for three days ot the week, sustaining the price. Pork products scarcelyj changed; oil rose 2e andcotleeVc Cotton has dropped to the lowest prices since early in 1849. viz: 7.44o for mid-uplands. Receipts at the South continue greater than last year, and though exports are also greater, the stock accumulated, and largely carried by bank" at various points, has a depressing inUu once This affects trade throughout tbe South, and at Memphis the outlook is considered poor and collections are very slow. At Nashville trade is only fair, though money is easier. At Little Rock trade is dulL At Galveston very conservative, with failure much exceeding those of last year in number. At Savanah trade is quiet, though money is easy, and at New Orleans banks are easier and a better feeling is seen la the money market, though unusual quantities of cotton, sugar and rice are being car ried. The demand for sugar and rice ia strong and active, with slightly better prices, but cotton is declining, with heavy receipts. . Trade in other parts of tha country is fair for tbe season, the new year's quiet not having entirely passed, lloston business is better ' in toms lines. At Philadelphia liberal orders are noted for spring materials, and while trade in other branches is now very light, the prospect is considered good. Baltimore reports a healthy money market, and Cincinnati activity in clothing and moderate trade in whiskies, with a favorable start for the year. Cleveland trade is good for the season, and rolled iron in good demand. At Pittsburg the outlook seems better; pig-iron is stronger, and. finished iron iu good demand. Chicago reports some increase in receipts of barley, cured meats, cheese and cattle, receipts of oats nearly double last year's, of Hour, corn, rye and dressed beef fully double, aud of wheat three times last year's. Dry-goods sales are light, though payments are better; sales of clothing; and shoea are larger than a year ago, and money la in fair demand with the supply ample for legitimate; trade. Milwaukee finds good indications for the spring trade, and heavy snow helps the lumber business. At St. Paul trade is quiet as usual, with excellent prospects. At Minneapolis the car famine is over, and the output of Hour was 172.000 barrels, against 114.000 last year, with lumber sales of 1691 exceeding tboteof 1890 by 07,000,000 feet. At L Louis cold weather causes better trade in heavy clothing, and other trado is seasonable, tbe grain blockade having been broken. Trade at Kansas City if quiet and money in light demand. Collections throughout the Northwest are very fair, though slow at most Southern pointa. The great industries report no important change, though in iron a large business is being done, and the tone is improved. Some improvement is seen in bar and plates, and fair business in structural iron. The coal trade is ragged, though the demand la beyond all precedent. Lees demand IC seen for copper, although large sales havo occurred. Tin is weaker and lead dull. The money market has been well supplied at this point, and other markets throughout the Is'orth are easier. In brief, tha business prospects of the country are remarkably favorable for the beginning of a new year, excepting at the outh. While tho depression in that section may considerably atlect some trades and branches of manufacture, tbe uplifting influence of large N" iern crops and of unprecedented loreigF inand for Northern products gives utial ground for the great confiden ch prevails. Tin ines failures occurring throughout v-e country during tbe eight days since Dec 31 are 435, as compared with a total of 329 last week. For the correspond ing week cf last year the figures were 403. TENSIONS I'OB VETEUANS. Residents of Indiana and Illinois TThoss) Claims Have Been Allowed.

Questions for the Browning Clubs, Boston JonrnsU A new literary amusement designated for the Browning clubs is a "Browning exam ination paper," composed of different questions tor tbe Browning expert to answer if he can. There is no poet better adapted for such use, aud it is rather remarkable that the examination papers have not beea in vogue since tbe first publication of ths poet's puzzling verses. Among the questions in one of these papers were: '"Brakes at balm, shed, asphodels in blow.' What does this mean!" "What are the eve-owls referred to!" "What is the meaning of 'Saponion strength!'" The investigation, of such questions makes life pass pleasant ly on the heights of literary research. KUI.? Worms, gives sleep, and promotes O 1 Without Injurious rr.rdlrllia.
