Since our last weekly Issue we have been
favored with heavy fall of snow, the result
OF which has been to bring into the market
large quantities of Pork and Wheat but not
withstanding the increase in the receipts of
wheat, we can note an advance of two cents.
Pork remains firm at $3.50 to $2.75, averaging
200 lbs.
There has also been q slight advance in tea
and coffee, but our merchants are actually
selling for less figures than in Milwaukee or
Chicago, the quotations of both cities being
"a cents by the bag, for the same quality our
merchants are asking 20 a 81. The following
