uuuu BIOHMOND CANDY MANUFACTURES NO LONGER NEED MAKE CHEAP GOODS. MUCH CANDY IS SOLD HERE Two Tons of Sugar Are Often Consumed Each Day in Making Candy. Candy merchants more than any other people, cater to prosperity and rely on the whims of the public. Just now, the candy business .is, better than it has been for years and wholesale dealers are busy supplying the retail stores. ' h ; - A prominent ' candy manufacturer said yesterday that it is the quality rather than the price that people are looking for now in candies. They are willing to pay high prices in order to, get quality and at the same time, they do not Lave to do so for fear of impurities. Long ago candy dealers found that poor ingredients are 11 no go" and all materials now used are of the best. The bulk sold is not the sixty or eighty cent candies, however, but the kind that retails for twenty five to forty cents. First class candy can be made at that price and now, better grades are being sold for forty cents than were for sixty cents eight or ten years ago when sugar was high. The candy manufacturers in Richmond make some high priced goods, but the majority is the forty cent grade and the candy known as "penny goods.' These are sold by the hundreds and retailed at the groceries at .one cent each. There is good profit in penny goods, as the standard size can be maintained and the cost is much less. Richmond 'sells more candy, and of a better grade than either Muncie or Marion, and in Anderson, inferior grades are sold, said the manufacturer. They have no factories in those

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

k Hog Receipts, 6000; Prices Five Cents Higher Notwithstanding Backwardness of Local Packers Cattle Strong. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 27. Receipts 6,000 hogs, 1,100 cattle and 50 sheep, against 4,727 hogs, 986 cattle and 50105 sheep a week ago, and 5,292 hogs, 1,121 cattle and 122 sheep i a year ago. j Thee was not a liberal run of hogs for a Tuesday market, and sellers were favored by reports from other places. Notwithstanding this the market closed in an unsatisfactory 'condition. At the start there was a fair demand from shippers that caused an active trade at strong to 5c higher prices, but the leading local packers refused to follow this advance, and withdrew from the market. As soon as shipping orders had been supplied trading was at a standstill. Subsequently packers offered barely steady prices as compared with yesterday, which salesmen refused to accept, and one-third of the supply was carried over in first hands. Sales ranged from $6.15 to $6.35, and the bulk of the supply sold at $6.20(S6.30. Butcher Cattle in Demand. There was only a fair run of cattle, but nearly all kinds were represented and the standard of quality was a good average, compared with the last few days. The market opened with an active demand for female butcher cattle, as well as for the light steers, at steady to string pprices and occasionally 10c higher. There was the same lack of competition for heavy steers that has characterized the market for some time and no better prices. There was a quiet demand for feeding cattle, and few were taken by country- feeders, but sales were at about steady prices. There was a good active demand for bulls at strong prices, and calves sold usually 25c lower. Few Sheep and Lambs. A very small supply of sheep and lambs arrived. Not enough to interest even local butchers. Trading was quiet, with no change in prices. Inferior to evtra good lambs sold for $3.007.00 and the best old sheep as high as $5.00. Indianapolis Grain.
