Trade Revival Promises Prosperity Amid Rising Prices
R G Dunn Co reports a broad upturn in trade as prices and wages rise. Demand for materials and stronger employment lift production, with gains in steel, pig iron, and textiles offset by crop doubts and fluctuating wheat. Failures decline, and banks show higher discounts while money flows from the interior slows. A Wisconsin defrauder posing as a postmaster targets milliners and dressmakers.

Counties settle under 1879 law to dodge auditor fee penalties
Twenty Indiana counties refused to settle with the state unless allowed fees under the 1879 law. They deposited due sums with state Treasurer Scholz to escape a 15 percent penalty. The auditor says the treasurer lacked authority to receive funds. Scholz issued personal receipts and will hold funds in trust until the supreme court rules on proper settlement. Afflicted by a dispute between Auditor Dailey and county officers, the controversy centers on following attorney general guidance versus the 1879 fee provision.
