THE REVIVAL OF TRADE.

The Praapects at Buslne Fall.

A Remarkably Ftae Outlook and General llopefulne** Every* where.

Larger Orders Belaw Received Than For Years, and the Haney Gomes With Them Often.

The reports from other cities of a remarkably good bu si nets prospect have been coming in very freely for a few days, ard with a view of determining whether Indianapolis shared in this movement, a News reporter viaited a number of wholesale houseai It will be seen from the opinicna given below that there is a univenal hopefulness In this city concerning a revival of trade this fall Many firms might have been visited where one was, and by no means are ail the busineuMS of the city here represented, but the agreement on the main points by all who are reported is sufficient to show the general drift of trade. In every case the promise this year is better than for any year smee the panic, and in some cases there has already been an earned of the best year for the past dozen. The strike had its effect in delaying things alleronnd, bat in spite of this the fall trade Is opening earlier than usual People want goods and have the money to pay for them. The lesson of economy has been well learned; purchases are made with a view of being lived up to; collections are bsttar than for years pist; the bed-rock of low prices has been reached, and, with the return of the money for the enormous crops now choking the lines of transportation, a healthful substantial trade is expected. Similar reports come from St. Louis and Lonlsville. The GlobeDemocrat of the former city prints a list similar to the one given below, which tells even a more flattering tale than this, and yesk rday a Meridian street merchant who had just returned from Louisville said that city expected to do the iargeet business It bad done sinoe the war. The sonth is beginning to be alive again and Louisville expects more orders from there now than at any time in the last ten years. The long looked for revival it ia thought has come to stay. The following indications of its presence are intsresting: STOVES. Mothershead, Morris & Co : There will be a stove trade this fall. There is a decided feeling of improvement Our retail trade is not so good ss at this time last year, but the wholesale trade la better. It is early yet for the atove trade but we have men on the road and are filling orders from them. They say the country is invaded by eastern dealers who are Belling for futare delivery at very low prices—forcing the market as it were. The market is going to come itself. People most have stoves, thev will have stoves and they have the money to pay for them; they have not bought much for years and the stock has run low with all dealers, and tha fall purchases will stiffen prices a little. CARPETS. Adams, Mansur & Co. are busy with a trade that is fully two months earlier this year than usual. They are greatly encouraged with the proepects. Last August there was no business at all. This year they have been busy all the month. Orders are coming in from people who heretofore have bought nothing, and those who have bought are buying more. Collections are good and a good trade is looked for this fall. GROCERIES. Mr. Severin, of Severin, Schnull & Co., said their trade was a little better than at this time last year, but not much. This week, however, has thus far been much better than the same week last year. "The strike set ns back a whole month all aronnd,” said Mr. Severin. "But for that we should be in the midst of a much larger trade than we are; but it is only postponed, not driven away. We are already beginning to feel the advance, and we expect a good season.” "Merchants are coming down nearer to the principles of business than for years,” said Mr. ‘O’Connor, of O’Connor Sc Co. "They are making purchases with the expectation of paying for them. Usual time is given, but payments are made when-dne; collections are better; things are altogether more healthful. We are already having a better trade than last year and expect a good substantial busi ness this fali.” Mr. Perry, of Robertson, Perry <fe Co., said, "We are very much encouraged. Business is better than it has been at any time for the past fourteen months. Collections are better; orders are larger and there are more of them. We feel very hopeful.” BOOTS AMD SHOES. "We are having the best trade now that we have had since we have been in the business,” said Mr. Jones, of Jones, Armstrong A Co. "People are barefoot ed. They must have boots and shoes Dealers’ stocks have been closed out. They have made no purchases of any amount for the last two or three years and now they art buying. Tney are paying for them too. We have sold exactly 100 per cent more goods this August than last, and although this proportion will not last by any means, yet we expect the best trade we have bad for yean.” Mr. Mayo, of Mayo A Shatter, said their trade was earlier this year than usual, and that it would average much larger than usual "We have stud as many goods this year in August as we did last year in September. Collections are fair, and we look for a good fall trade.” McKee A Brauham had about the same experience. There were indications of a good fall trade, of which they already felt the effects. They did not expect, as a general thing, to see an overwhelming rush, but did expect, with good reason, a healthful revival. WHITE GOODS AMD HOTIOMS. Sadler, Pee A Co. lor the last ten days have bad a little touch of old times. It was rather early yet for their business, bnt last week and this week so far they bad received very good orders and were kept busy filling them. Their traveling men were meeting with encouraging success in taking new orders and were averaging well with collections. They expect a solid fall trade. HATS AMD CAPS. Mr. Rickard, of H. Rickard A Co. "It ia early yet We are doing better than at this time last year, but our trade has not yet began. We expect a fair one next month. Collections are considerably better.” Mr. Talbott of 0. H. Talbott A Co , said prospects were good, considerably better in every way than last year. “We have suffered the decline in everything and I hope to see it go on till it reaches the stopping place, if it ia not there already. We are paying for our foolish extravagance. It ia bitter medicine bat gold is only 4 per cent now and we have but little more to take before the case will be cured.” MILLISERY. Mr. Griffith, of Griffith Bro’a. "Prospects are much better than last year, and trade is beginning earlier. As aosuel

thing we have our fall atoek displayed •nd ready September 10, but now in the midst of an packing and marking customers are coming in daily before we ere in good shape to receive them. It is a carious thing that the millinery bnslness was lees generally affected by the panic th»- almost any other. One would suppose that in the line of "fancy fixin’s” would bs the greatest curtailment; but on the contrary fiowera and feathers have held their own better than shoes and dresses, and those firms in this line who have been able to survive the general stress have not merely held their own as firms in other lines have, bat have made money. We expect with very good reason a much better trade this year than last” Fahnley A McCres make the same report This is their season of unpacking and arranging their stock, bat they have to divide their time with customers who are in the field two or three weeks earlier than usual. The outlook is very favorable. They expect a better fall trade than for some years back. DRV GOODS. Byram, Cornelius A Co. are caught in the midst of receiving their fall stock by customers. Country merchants are coming in for goods that are not yet displayed. They are mnch earlier than- usual. The state of trade Is much better than this time last year, and the prospect for a good fail trade better than it has been for years. Mr. Pattison, cf Murphy, Johnston A Co., saje: "This month’e business is very satisfactory. There is a marked improvement over last year. We do not expect any immense and overpwering amount of busmese, nor do I think any line of trade will be similarly taken, but there are general indications from reports at all points of the country that there will be a good, healthful, substantial trade. The people need goods, and what is better they nave the money to pay for them. Collections are goed. The outlook is decidedly better than it has been for three years.” IROM Maxwell, Fry A Thurston. "There is a larger cash trade than formerly, collections are better and sales are improving. Oar trade does not have its seasons like the grocery trade. It is evener throughout the year. There is not a great increase in orders bat there is so:ue, and we think the improvement permanent. There is more money.” SADDLERY AND CARRIAGE GOODS. George K. Share says this will be the bejt year since the panic. “We had things going nicely when the strike came. That caught us with goods out and orders on our books which we could not fill. The goods are in now but some of the orders are out, so we are feeling the effects of the stoppage. Collections are fair. There is a general feeling that there will be a fair fall trade, and that will do a good deal toward making one. We expect to do our share of it, and have nothing to complain of.” PAINTS, OILS AND VARNISHES. A. Burdsal "anticipates a good fall trade. We are already getting some of it, bnt were set back in common with all by the strike There is a general feeling that better times are at hands. I have been in Louisville, and there they expect the largest trade with the south they have had since the war.” LUMBER. C. C. Foster A Co.: "We have sold more lumber in the last three weeks than in two months previous. For the last two years people have b^en buying on credit and building on mortgages, trusting for time to pay. They have learned the lesson of economy the hard times have taught, and are only buying what they can pay for now. We have encouraging reports from every quarter.”
