WHEELING, September 20, ls1l.
There has been but little change In oui
marke ct during the past week. Although
the river has been low beyond all prece'
dent, and had last evening reached lower
stage than has been known here for the
past twenty years, our business men nave
received but little check from this cause
the railroad furnishing ample opportunl-
ties for reaching most points bellows. f1tls'
burgh suffers more from the continued 10"
water than Wheeling. We know oil one
house In the former place having filled an
order month ago, and have not been able
to deliver the goods yet.
There has been more activity in the dry
goods market during the past week, than
during the week previous, and the signs
are that our merchants will have no COM
plant to make OF the fall trade. Money Is
very close, though, and collections are hard
to make. . .
Groceries are very firm, and prices tend
upward. Eggs are scarce and in request ~
l6 to lSc. There has been, during the week,
an improvement in cheese, and prices nave
advanced fully lc. Choice butter IS hrin
and in fair request. There is no change In
the provision market, prices ruling stead
lily, with fair demand for the leading ar
ticles.
At the close Of the week there was an
improvement in the demand for potatoes
and prices closed firm with an upward ten,
dency. Onions became drug in the mar
ket during the latter part OF the week, ana
prices are nominal Seeds are steady and
unchanged. Green apples are in fair de-
mand. and prices firm for sound, hard FRUIT
