FINANCE AND TRADE.

OFFICE OF THE DAILY REGISTER,
..-.. \ WHEELING, June 8, lS72.

The -four market has been weak and de-
clining during the week, and although a
strong effort has been made to keep prices
up they have declined fully sc per Dbl for
the best brands, and Soc for common.
The receipts OF wheat have been light and
prices are nominally without change yet
we doubt If buyers would be willing to pay
within.lOc per bushel of the quotations.
In fact both -four and wheat are very I'M
settled, and the least thing will cause a
very material decline in prices.
Corn has not declined, although the trade
has been considerable. The receipts at
Western points are immense, with large
shipments, and it Is confidently predicted
that prices will 60 lower.
Oats are without change with dull mar
ket.
Other grains have been steady, with but
little doing.
Provisions have been steady during the
week with no change in ruling prices. Our
packers are bus!Iy engaged in the summer
packing.
The butter market has been quite lively,
| with largely increased receipts, and conse-
quent decline Of from TO SC per pound from
prices OF the week previous, with great
improvement In quality.
Cheese has been steady in price, with in
creased receipts and better quality com
| ing into the market.
Eggs have been in demand, with a slight
advance in price.
In potatoes the market has been weak
during the entire week, with prices favor
ing the buyer: in fact the market is over
stocked, owing to the limited demand for
shipment.
Seeds, dried fruits and other articles have
ruled firm, with no changes to mark.
In. the iron market there 's hr' ".''e
change. Bar. sheet and mai, I.Un j. MN nj
previous quotations, but decline OF Sl.O0
per ton is made in Eastern markets on
so"e qualities of pig iron.
wool we have no further decline To
note in this market; prices in the East are
reported to favor buyers. The manufactu-
rers are not buying largely, but awaiting
the reception of the new clip. In st. Louis
there was decline last week OF Safe per
pound.
In the sugar market there is no change in
prices. but the market is firm.
In coffee and teas but little is doing in the
wholesale trade. Buyers handle goods very
guardedly,, and figure very closely on the
cost in every transaction, rarely tax ny
any more goods than their known early
and positive wants render necessary.
Eastern advices state that there is de-
cline in the mackerel market OF from Sl.OO
to 81 20 per barrel, but il has not yet affected
our market.
