FINANCE AND TRADE,
wheeling Wholesale Market.
OFFICE OF THE DAILY REGISTER,

principal markets of the country show a
decline OF fully sc per barrel, our millers
and dealers, considering 1t as but tempo
psrary decline, refuse TO submit, but looking
for still further advance Of SOC to A.OO,
keep fully up to our quotations. The stock
OF -four Is light and this adds to the firm
ness In the market.
The wheat market is weak and prices
have declined l0c per bushel, with pros
pect of further decline. Our information as
to future prospects are very contradictory.
In relation to the coming wheat crop in
Ohio our exchanges differ. In some parts
of the State 1t is reported very bad, but tbs
rain Of the past week has added much TO
the improvement Of the crop. The editor
of the Hancock Courier says that "from a
trip through the counties of Hancock, Wy
andot, dardin, Allen, Lucas, Sandusky'
Huron and Seneca he should think that
there would be full three-fourth crop, If
not better" A correspondent OF the Toledo
Blade says that Through the counties o.
Steuben, De Kalb, Noble and Lagrange,
great wheat growing region, he is satisfied
The wheat Is not so far advanced as usual
but stands we'll upon the ground. in Put
nam county the growing wheat is fast i'm
proving in appearance, and the prospect for
fair crop is very encouraging. In kenton
county the wheat prospects have frightened
so much within the last two weeks that
the county promises nearly an average
WELD" The telegra phic reports from the
South state that the wheat crop has been
materially injured by drouth and ny In
Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, and that
millers will again be dependent on the
West. In Central Virginia the yield OF
wheat is certainly diminished one-halt.
The reports from the different sections of
Kentucky are generally favorable for
wheat, hemp and fruit, and in some sec
lions, such as Todd and Logan counties
there will be large yield. General and
reviving rains are reported throughout the
Mississippi Valley, and the crops are doing
well. There is a very promising outlook in
Central Pennsylvania.
Corn was firm until about the middle OF
the week, when decline of about SC per
bushel was submitted to.
Prices for oats are lower. showing de-
cline of Sc per bushel. The recent rains
have materially changed the aspects of the
growing grain crops, and holders in the in
terror are more anxious TO get their surplus
stocks to market.
In Provisions trade has been steady and
fair with no change in prices.
Butter has been coming in more freely,
owing to the improvement in the rgass
crops by the rains. The market has de-
clined from lc to 3cper pound, the demand
being exclusively for choice medium, poor
butter being almost impossible to dispose
OF. Cheese is coming in freely, and de-
cline of &c per pound is noted. Choice
qualities, however, in small way, bring
about the same price. The demand for
eggs has been quite active and the receipts
have generally been worked off without
difficulty.
In groceries the market has been buoyant
and trade active, without any material
change in prices. Coffee IS very firm at our
quotations. Molasses has advanced for
good grades.
The potato market has been completely
demoralized, in fact the bottom ofthe mar
ket dropped out; at one time 1t was almost
impossible to dispose of Potatoes at any
price.
The condition ofthe wool market is fully
explained in the following extract from
letter written by one Of the largest wool
firms in New York city:
"The wool market broke some two weeks
since and holders are forcing stock upon
the market at very low prices, and at
concession of 10 TO Is cents per pound from
highest prices on the different kinds OF
wool Pulled wool at present is most de-
pressed, but prices on all woods are nomi-
nal, holders anxious, buyers timd and offer
ing upOn nothing but for immediate wants,
making their own terms and determined
TO force prices still lower. Should our
present market continue, we think best
woods would be bought for 60 cents and pos
sibly less. These prices nay look low to
growers, but unless the Eastern market i'm:
proves they will come oft. A few days
brisk trade might change the aspect of af.
airs, but this we do not look for"
But few fleeces are Offering, holders
Seemingly looking or rise and buyers
fearing still further decline, are not anx-
ious to accumulate stock.
