wheeling Wholesale Market.

OEEiSDt
WEDNESDAY EVENING, March {, TO.S
There is very little animation in our
markets, and prices generally rule
lower. Grain and Flour are without
change. The grocery market is sensi-
bly, affected by the fall of gold, and, as
will be seen from our quotations, shows
decline in sugars at from one half
cent to one cent, according to grade,
and in coffee of from one to one cent
and a half. The provision market also
shows heavy fall in prices.
Our nail dealers have ordained de-
cline of twenty five cents per keg, and a
still further discount of l2i cents on lots
of 100 kegs and upwards.
1t seems to be the general impression
among our business men that there will
not be a much greater fall in prices
than we give below. They seem to
think that gold will stop at ITO, and
values will be fixed at that figure. We
quote: an -.
