OFFICE OF THE DAILY REGISTER,
WHEELING, May y, 1877.
The market for breadstuffs has shown
marked rise and. Is. very excited. There Is
but little Wheat In the interior to come
forward, and we cannot look for lower
prices until the new crop arrives. The April
report Of the Agricultural Department at
Washington indicates rather more than the
average amount of winter killing this year,
but more than, the average crop sown, so
that we can hope for at least an average
crop this year. In some parts Of the West
wheat has suffered by drouth severely,
while in others fine crop Is promised.
Wheat has advanced lOc per bushel and but
very little Offering: A still further advance
may be looked for. We shall not be sur
prised IL it reaches the highest figure paid
during the war before the new crop
comes in.
Flour has advanced SOC per barrel during
the week on all grades, and the top figure
has not yet been reached. 1t has kept pace
with the advance in wheat and as grain
advances so will -four.
Corn, Oats and Barley have ruled firm and
steady. Corn maintains the advance OF the
first part Of the week.
Provisions have been firm at the prices
especially on city cured meats.
Cheese has been without an active move
ment and the market somewhat unsettled.
Eggs are In fair demand, but the supply Is
ample.
Potatoes have fallen off in shipping de-
mand and the market Is easier.
Other vegetables are quiet.
Seeds are dull and only a small retail trade
reported.
In the Iron market there seems to be
stand still. The mills and foundries OF tn e
country are generally refusing to purchase
at present prices, awaiting further develop
ments. The markets in New York and
Philadelphia are reported unsettled and
lower.
In Nails prices must advance, as the price
ofpig iron Is higher than it was in Septem-
Der, 1865, when nails were selling at IS 90 per
keg. Since 1868 there has been hardly an
instance of nails selling so low, relatively
to the price OF pig iron, rs at the present
time.
