The Wholesale Trade of Musca.
tina

Muscatine, at the present time, is offering
great Inducements to merchants and others
for the purchase of goods, at wholesale.
The jobbing houses are receiving extensive
stocks Of goods for the fall trade, in the vari-
Gus departments Of merchandise. Their
facilities for receiving and sending out
goods to all tho various towns in the region
of coantry surrounding them in Iowa and
Illinois enables them to compete success
fully with any cities OF tue Mississippi river,
or with Chicago, for the jobbing business.
Among the prominent business houses
which are doing an extensive jobbing trade,
in the various departments, we wou d call
attention to the we'll known wholesale
Hardware, Farming Tool and Seed estab.
lishment of CHAs. Il WV. r. SroNE-the
long-establishel and very extensive Boot
and Shoe house of Messrs. JOHNSON & EVANS
= the largo and well-6iled Cfocksry and
Glassware house of GEO. W. DLIAwAY-
the extensiv We wholesale Grocery house Of
CHAs. Evans the wholesale Saddtery- Hard
Uare, Leather and Shoe Finding establish
,uent of II. s. CoMProN-the very large
Wholesale Lumber, Furniture, Dry Goods
and Grocery establishment OF DuNsNoRE. &
CHAMBERs-the old-established Wholesale
Iron and Sloue store of II. W. MooRE-the
very large Wholesale Dry Goods house Of
LEMp IL sELLs - the ~long.known wholesale
Grocery house of HATCH g. H~UMPHREYs-
and the wholesale Drug Store of F. II.
STONE.
These houses have all been established
for q considerable length Of time. They i'm.
port and procure most Of their stocks from
first hands. They are already enjoying an
extensive wholesale trade, but with the
stocks they have on hand aud arriving, they
are enabled to accommodate a still more
extensive trade. We would, Their efore, in
vite for them a call from dealers in the
various kinds of goods in their several
branches of trade in towns moro remote
than those to which they have heretofore
extended their trade, as well as those with
whom they are already acquainted. Z
We would also say in this article that
our produce buyers haze plenty Of money
and pay higher prices for Wheat, Pork, Hides
and all other kinds Of produce, than any
other town on the river above St. Louis.
DODGE DoDGEs THE FACrloNs.--The North
Vest, edited by Col. Heath, Democratic
postmaster at Dubuque, and the Herald, ed
tied by J. b. Dorr, whom DR.. Eads favored
with four thousand dollars Of the school
fund, are waging 4 bitter warfare in their
journals in regard TO the position of Dodge.
The Buchanan organ insists that Dodge
occupies the Administration ground on the
Territorial question and does not believe in
the right of the people Of the Territories to
prohibit slavery so long as they remain in
their Territorial condition. The Eads or
gan, on the contrary, claims that Dodge is
an Sou and out" squatter sovereign. 1t is
evident that a great deal may be said on
both sides, and, Of course, he will receive
the support both of Lecomptonites and anti
Lecomptonites. Evidently Dodge is play
ing the game of the 'little joker" so artfully
that even the sharp "winkers" of Dorr and
Heath are deceived as to his whereabouts
