WHEELING, March 2, 1872. )
The general markets during the past
week have been very firm despite the de-
pressing effect of the cold and stormy
weather on trade, and some articles have
shown considerable activity and at better
prices.
Flour is advancing and the tendency Is
still upward, and our prices this morning
show an advance Of 3 cents per Dbl. we
are satisfied that the top figure has not yet
been reached.
The receipts Of wheat have been small,
but the market hasruled uncommonly firm
for every day OF the week, and closed at an
advance Of five cents per bushel. Corn and
oats are firm and unchanged.
In provisions there has been a good
demand, and the market has ruled steady
during the week.
The grocery market is active, but prices
are decreased. Java coffee closed at cents
per ID. lower. In comparing our market
with Cincinnati and New Orleans, we
find that our merchants are selling the oct
ter grades Of New Orleans sugars and mo-
lasses at lower figures than The same att
Giles can be purchased for in the New CT
leans market.
Butter is without material change, though
there has been an advance Of 2@5c per pound
in The retail market.
Eggs are becoming more plenty, and
would decline, but for TIE demand for
in, ler of
quotations.
In potatoes, seeds. &c. there hess been
limited demand, though prices ar htm.
There was no actual advance in the Iron
markets during the past week, but prices
are firm with no inclination 10 nil large or
ders. In New York there has been an adj
vance OF g on pig. II is supposed that
merchant iron will advance somewhat
about the first OF April.
