Wheeling Wholesale Market.
WHEELING, September Is, 1871.


condition at this season Of the year. The
river only has been on decline for the past
week, and despite Its fall there has been q
very visible rise in the demand for Fall
Goods. Our wharf has presented quite an
active appearance since the late rise, from
the fact that people living on or near LA
Belle REVERE" below here, are but mortal
and must have something to eat and wear.
The Parkersburg packets stu make daily
4 trips, and besides there are quite number
of small towboats showing flats up and
down the river always well laden on their
down trips with boxes aud bales, barrels
and kegs, containing something good to eat,
drink and wear.
The arrivals OF groceries, dry goods, cloth
ing. hats and caps, boots and shoes, and in
fact everything man wants, have been
large, and "still they come"
| Groceries are embraced in the general
market report. Coffee, sugar and bacon
very firm with an upward tendency. Stock
| large and sales active.
Wheeling will have larger supply than
| for years past Of all things desirable by
mankind, and as Is the supply SO Is the
price. There Is no occasion for merchants
in the surrounding country lh to go East last |;
without the expense of going farther to fare
| worse. WeQuote:
