Dry Gooda. Drjr-cooda jobber* not« that there has boon, and continue* to be. an active demand tor cotton blanket*. They have booa unusually cheap this season, and the douand will probably extend far into ■grin*. Cotton warps, especially of the batter grades, are selling freely. New lines of dress goods for spring and summer wear are now being opened in both foreign and domestic fabrics. There is considerable doing in hosiery, gloves and handkerchiefs, and there Is an active trade In 'embroideries, laces, laundered ahtrts and ready-made stuff of all kinds. WelsbeniMters end the Hey Crop. Oood timothy hay is selling at JKuO, elover from *7.00 to *7-60 a ton. The city Sreighmaatfrs say that the hay crop last gear was the largest for years, and that On account of the cheap price many farm-* era wilt hold over their crops till next year. Some Marion county farmers have UO tons each in mow or stack with none of it coming to the market. King*. Quotations on eggs to-day will show a further decline, the lowest price reached for several months. Shippers to-day are paying only 11 cents. Supplies are coming In freely, and the reduced price enables retailers to sell freely, the consumption being stimulated by the lenten season. . Sugar*. Indianapolis wholesalers to-day, on advices from New York, have advanced all grades of sugars down to and including No. « (Ideal Golden)» l-16c above prices as quoted In to-day s columns. The Uuslnes* Outlook. Financial Chronicle. Careful Inquiry' Justiiies the belief that the business Actuation is already slowly mending. After what the country has endured during the last two years, any but a very slow recovery would be out of the question. In certain directions improvement has been observable -for some time, even in the face of adverse conditions. There is reason to think that henceforward steady progress wHl be made towarJ a better state of things, for nearly every Indication favors greater activity. Most Important of all Is the fact that railway revenues are beginning to show signs of expansion. We say that that is most Important of all because the great impulse to business revival must come from that Industry. The part it has played in extending and Intensifying the general depression can not be over-estimated. We showed last week that there had been a decrease in the ordinary operating expenses of United States railroads in the calendar year 1894 in the sum of about $100,000,1)00--which, of course, means that the activities of the Nation were contracted to the extent of this diminished expenditure for labor and supplies. Today, In another article, we indicate the contraction that the railroads made in still another direction, namely, in their new capital outlays, using the Pennsylva nla railroad as an illustration. The re suits In this case are as striking as in the other. The importance, therefore, of even a small Increase in railroad revenues becomes very apparent. As soon as the railroads have a larger Income they will begin to spend more freely, and as soon as the roads spend more freely every branch and department of trade will be stimulated; this in turn will still further increase the traffic and revenues of the roads, and thus the movement will go on, acting and reacting at each stage of the process, until business activity again attains Its full development. 1, Everybody Too l)la«. BostJoa Commercial Bulletin. There is less unemployed labor than a gear ago, and an unbiased expert will admit that manufacturing enterprises are starting up and gradually increasing their force. Bank clearings are very much •mailer than a year ago, but as regards the volume of business, this comparison 1* again misleading, for the reason that commodity values are considerably lower than they were twelve months back. The professionals are bearish, blue, and can only apparently be bears, but a few solid, substantial pieces of evidence that there is a little milk and honey yet left in the land, will make them change over to the other side more quickly than a cat, for evary man realizes that prices are low and that unless there are to be sev • eral more receiverships, the area for bear operations Is not an extended one. When everybody gets so blue that he can not enjoy his meals, and wh>n one is regarded as a curiosity for belie (ring m better times ahead, things ai > pretty close to that point when It pays o ke*>p both eyes wide open. It will take many months, perhaps, before the last man Is convinced that general conditions are actually Improving and that the financial and commercial organ'aa.ic.ns are convalescing, but we must remind our ret-d-ers that Wall street will not by the last place in the country, but -ne tlrst to recognize this change, and lm T a-Jlit*..*' .rc old process of discounting will commence.

Gold Mining.

Boston Commercial Bulletin.

The interest In gold mining properties appears to be increasing. There are undoubtedly many good ones, but too many men are traveling about with gold mines up their sleeves looking for buyers. Mining operations, particularly gold mining, will always possess a peculiar fascination for mankind, at least as long as he is horn with gambling instincts, and there appears to be little prospect of the trait becoming extinct. ' Then, mining shares are frequently sold at prices within reach of the poor man, whereas, railroad and industrial corporation securities are generally "Darred'* so as to be bevond his reach. That good mining stares can he bought at low prices Is probat,ly to bu regretted, as it opens the wav for sharpera to collect large crops of suckers.

Roots and Shoes.

The diminutive character of the orders for boots and shoes for immediate use continues to be a feature of the Eastern market. laist month, owing to the inclement weather, was & hard one for the distribution of goods which in part counts for the state of trade, and it is expected that when retailers begin to get burtne#*, as they will presently, that morel orders will come in to manufacturers’

Rubber Goods. Several of the boot and shoe manufacturers have started up In the past few Mays, and in a short time they will all be. In operation, which largely accounts for the Improved demand in crude rubber. The RUvnufacUirers are now very busy on making up light goods for spring wear. They will probably be busy on this class of work until April, when the new price Ust goes into effect. Nothing definite has

The Court Rule* That Heg;alarly Licensed.

Greenfield, Ind., March 11.—The mayor rendered his decision on Saturday in the prosecution of Gardner Haines, a Christian scientist of Indianapolis, who was charged with practicing medicine without a license. It was shown that while he did not advertise himself as a physician, yet bis services were at command fo^auy ailment, for which 624 i he accepted a fee, and the court ruled that 55% | in doing so he placed himself within the relation of a physician to a patient. It was also shown that in making his visits to the ailing he talked with the patient, learned the nature and cause of the ailment and then instructed the sufferer to remain passive, throw off cares of business and thoughts of disease, while he would rub his hands, close his eyes and sit in silent thought or prayer for twenty or thirty minutes. Mr. Haines repeated this demonstration sometimes twice daily. The court ruled that this manner of healing the sick came within the provisions of the law, and he therefore assessed a fine of $10 and costs. Mr. Haines gave bond on an appeal to the Circuit Court. Another charge against him, that of failure to report * death return, was held in Abeyance until the appeal is

determined.

A RAPID ENT'MER ATIOX. An Army of Canvasser* Do the Work lu Six Hour*. Special to The Indianapolis News. Logansport, Ind., March 11.—The census of Logansport and many important statistics of the city were taken one day this week in the almost incredibly short time of six hours. The task was performed b y 113 delegates, appointed by the (.’ass County Sunday-school Union, and was done mainly for religious purposes. It bids fair, however, to be the most accurate as well as thorough census of the town ever taken, although the complete returns have not yet been footed up. A map of the city was divided by the county president into 113 pieces with a pair of scissors and one section was given to each canvasser as his or her territory. In this way there were no omissions or duplications, every house in the town being visited and the names of the occupants, with all other desirable information, being accurately obtained. The innovation proved a decided success and promises to become a popular method of compiling directories. Spurious Coiu Makers Run Down. Special to The Indianapolis News. Elwood, Ind., March 11.—During the past three years a gang of counterfeiters have made this city headquarters and have scattered their spurious coin broadcast. Attempts to unearth them have repeatedly been made, but until the ppst few days ail efforts have proved fruitless. Recently a Government detective began working on the case, and it is stated that he has struck a lead which will result in several arrests. It is whispered that branch estubUshments are in operation at Sommitville and Alexandria. The latest piece of spurious stuff issued by the gang is a 5-cent coin so nearly perfect that only an expert can note the difference.

An Effort to I’aiui the Merritt Annexation Ordinance. The Council will meet In adjourned session to-night to consider Councilman Merritt’s ordinance for the annexation of certain lamp west of the river and adjacent to Haughville. The land in question Is bounded on the east by White river, on the south by Michigan street, on the west by Belmont avenue and Haughville, and on the north by Grand View avenue in part and by an irregular line bounding the old Stout farm. Much speculation Is Indulged in at the city offices as to what is behind this annexation plan. Councilman Merritt, Lynn Martlndale, the Stouts and others who are supposed to be the owners of part of the ground Involved, are the champions of the measure. Mr. Merritt Introduced the ordinance a week ago and secured five signatures for the called session. As to-night's meeting is an* adjourned session of last Monday night’s and in law a part of the same meeting, the ordinance can not be passed unless the Council first adjourns and calls another meeting. It has been supposed that the owners of this territory may offer it for park purposes to the city, but the reason for annexation given by them Is that they do not want to be annexed to Haughville. At a recent meeting the Town Board of Haughville took the necessary steps to annex Jefferson Park, which is a part of the territory described above. President Greiner, of th.e Haugavtlle board, says it Is too late for anybody t’.se to capture Jefferson Park. The members of the Haughville board wilt be at (he Council meeting to-night to see what is done in the attempt, Haughville sought the itrritciy because It wanted an outlet for the main sewer. The ownerh of the real estate. the Haughville peap e say, wan: to be In the city because the/ think it will enhance the value of the real estate, and wlh give the ci»y jurisdiction over the bridges that are built and others fhat are sought. The more conservative city officials were counseling an Inquiry into ail the circumstances before action, and one of them cited that the city was at some pains once to dlsannex certain territory that had been annexed. On the east side of the river, opposite the territory described In the Merritt or'dlnance, is a narrow strip of land that haf ■never been annexed to the city. An amendment is to be Introduced to-night Including this in the ordinance. City Charter Amendments. The mayor and the city committee are satisfied with the action of the Legislature on city charter amendments with an exception or two. Woodruff Place will be able under one amendment to defeat any effort to annex It, and there were one or two verbal changes In some of the amendments that weakened* tha effect sought by the committee. The amendment relating to remonstrances against street improvement makes It possible for one-half of the resident property holders on the line of the improvement to throw the proposition to improve into the Council’s hands. Heretofore twothirds of the resident property holder* have been required. The New Park Contmlsaloner*. The new city park cotnmlssloners will be selected from the following list: H. C. Allen, Oran Perry, Thomas H. Spann, Frank Maus, George Merritt, Thomas H. Perry, Ferdinand Mayer, William Dugdale, Samuel H. Shearer, John Chlslett. Dr. Harry Van Hummell and Samuel Stevens.
