Wheeling Wholesale Market.

WHEELING. December 2, 1871.
The general market for the week has been
In that dull and quiet condition usual at the
Close Of navigation and there are few fea-
lures In the market worthy OF notice. The
dour market has ruled steady with q fair
demand. Wheat has ruled dull and quiet
with little variation In price. At the close
OF the week there was better local de-
mand for milling purposs and prices were
h9lc better. The receipts were light. The
coSn market is somewhat improved and at
the close prices were firm and &c better, the
demand being principally for new. Oats
continue firm and steady. Barley is held
higher, but very little doing. In the pro-
vision market pork has ruled steady, but
we note decline in hams, shoulders, bacon
and lard. Trade has been fair. The re-
ceipts Of dressed hogs have increased, but
prices continue unsettled and generally un-
satisfactory. The prices paid here are fully
up to those Of other markets and are as
high as the prices obtained for pre-
pared products will admit of. Extra choice
butter has been in active demand and will
bring an advance of I@2c. Very little has
been doing in cheese except in small way
tor the local trade. Potatoes have been in
active demand and prices have advanced
fully sc per bushel. Choice repacked green
apples have also been in good demand, but
without change. Dried apples have ruled
easier and nc lower. All other articles in
the line Of country produce continue to
rule quiet and unchanged. Groceries, lum-
Der and iron and nailsremain quotably I'M
