The fast mall trains In and out of , Indianapolis in ail dtrwttons are heavily loatied with mail. Thl* Is particularly true of mall trals on the Pittsburg and ! 8t. Louis division. They come into the city every day with the cars crowded w-lth mail of ali kinds, and the forces i of men have all they can do to accom- j plish their work. In both directions the ' trains cm this division are carrying be*- ; tween laO.tWO and 14<>.«*i pounds of mall a day through Indianapolis, This In- ] crease In the cargoes Is a natural one. the railway mail authorities say, and it causes them to look forward to the movement of Christmas mails with a good deal of apprehension. It is said that the Christmas business In the malls this year gives numerous indications of being heavier than ever, and at the same time there is no sign that the volume of ordinary
mail will decrease.
The outlook now is that the blockades will prevail again this year, and that i they will be more dirfk-ult to break. It Is expected that the present volume of mail handled over the railroad* will, by the middle of next \snonth, to: double what It is now, particularly In bulk. ! The authorities say that persons should this year deposit holiday packages in the mail* two days earlier than the) would
at ordinary times.
The patrons of the mail service In In- ; dianapolis are contributing their lull j share to the volume that b* moving over the railroads. All departments at thpostoffice have as much as they can do to keep pace with the business that comes to them. The postoffiee whs ; closed for two-hoars.

Wholesale toy dealers in this city—the - word to>s including each year a wider ' range of novelties—report a greater demand for their goods than at any time heretofore preceding Christmas. Not only are the retailers ready buyers, but I this season, because of prosperous trade I conditions, they buy not only in larger quantities, but as a rule the higher-priced toys, fancy goods and sundries. This cltjx, is a great distributing point for goods " of these kinds, and the wholesalers here supply retailers in us many as u doaen different States. Tne Spanish war. with its naval and military hefoes. has brought In many new toys of a military and naval character. The young idea, in it* intense patriotiMn. and wild with fighting ardor, demands toys that Illustrate the nation's glory and achievement. The nutnutucturers respond to this demand by numerous representations of soldiers and sailors, artillery and war vessels. In the mechanical toy*. "The Climbing Sailor of the Oregon.” with a spring in his midriff, has taken the place of 4he once popular climbing monkey. This to a highly edifying toy, and littexpensive, retailing at 26 cents. The Oregon tar climbs up a twine string, hand over hand, to the celling and slides down again with equal dexterity. Roosevelt's Rough Riders are much in evidence. A popular form produces them arranged in a squadron of thirty mounted on handsome steeds. Their formation, the figure* tadua on an extension frame, may l«' greatlj diversified. This toy retails at from IS to fo cents. One of the toy* that has been in great demand to called “Naval War.” This is a flat piece, representing the deck of a Spanish monitor. Placed oq tho floor, leaden buila the sixe of marble* arc rolled at It. When - u hall strikes a spring on the deck, the smoke-stacks and ether piece* on deck go into the air in Imitation of the.destruction supposed to occur in actual warfare. Spanish soldiers, operated in the same way. meet with like disaster. Thera are mechanical bootblacks, that are wound up and shine boot* with great vigor; fiddler* that Addle, drummers that drum, and many other prodigies of activity. One of the popular pieces is a monkey that assume* fantastic position* and goes through contortion* supposed to represent laughing. There are all kinds of trick dog*, monkeys and clowns mounted on bicycle*; performing elephautH, appearing and disappearing figures. There. 1* a great variety in Turks and negroes. llattleahlpa In Demand. Battleships are In great demand. There are Indiana*. Olympias, Oregon* and a fleet of others, including the Glouce*ter, Monterey and Bennington. The ships are made of metal, and are all of American manufacture. The Iron toys are, with few and inconsiderable exceptions, made in thl* country. Germany, whlclTmakcH toys for the world, can not compete with the home product In iron. These toy* are practically indestructible, are artiatically fashioned and cleverly painted. loo wagons with horse*, locomotive* ami cars, firemen's artul ladders, engines and hose carts, made of iron, are masterpieces of art. One of the most popular of these iron toys I* the locomotive ami tender, which retails n* low a* 11.26. Thera are little boats made of thtn sheet* of metal that run on the water quite like the “real thing.” Some of these are propelled by gasoline; others by hot air. The latter motive isiwer is pre;erred, a* attended with no danger. Germany now mak.es all the Brownie toys, having driven out American competition J>y affording a good article at a low price. The demand for "Brownies'' continues active. ’ In iron toys, little girls are not forgotten. Miniature cook stoves, patterned after the best models of the most proprei sive housekeeping, with oven* and a full equipment of culinary utensil*, appear In great variety. They may be used In actual cooking. Another novelty is a miniature sewing machine, that can toworked by a six-year-old gtol, and do good needlework. This toy, however, retail* at 17 and many good little girls will not receive one as a Christmas present. Many animals, mechanical toy* to beat drums, blow horns and clash cymbals, meantime wagging their heads and moving their Jaws, are produced in fur. Among these are rabbits, monkey* and bears. These toys are all expensive. Some of the Holla. Germany and France continue to supply the trade with dolls, only u few. and these of the cheapest, being made in this country. Among the. latest productions that are in great demand are the Admiral Dewey and the Roosevelt Rough Rider. Beside these there are Eslykmm, Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Zulus, Kaffirs and many others, Doll hammocks, cradle*, carriage* and furniture are "good sellers." It is a recognised peculiarity of the retail trade that while white children buy colored dolls, colored children Invariably buy white babies. The great demand of the retail trade Is for doll* with flaxen hair, "Gretchen*,'' a* they are called, and wholesalers say that they sell 100 dozen blonde dolls to every two dozen brunettes. Elegantly-dressed dolls, with articulated limbs, so that the body, hands and anti* may be placed in different positions, retail at high prices, sometimes as high ns 150. and even as high as f7B each. i .i o—:— Weak’* Grain InsiM-etloiis.
