WHEELING, Sept. %, 1872.
Flour has remained firm during the week
at our quotations., but the market Is very
dull with little or no prospect of increased
animation or change in quotations.
Wheat is unchanged with very light re-
ceipts. Dealers in wheat and -four say that
the past year has been the most unsatisiac-
tory they ever knew and that while prices
have ruled high the margin has been
closer than for manv years before.
Rye has advanced and holders are very
firm. 1t Is quoted at Zoe, though a superior
article would bring more money. led
Corn and oats have ruled steady during
the week and we have no change In prices
to quote. The receipts OF both have been
less than the week previous.
The demand for strictly choice table hut.
ter still keeps up, and an article that will
supply that demand readily brings 23g25c
n. Other grades are dull.
The cheese market is unsettled. Some
Others say that 1t Is firmer.
Eggs are not quite so much in demand,
owing to the increased supplies, and are
lm2c lower than one week ago.
Smoked meats and pork have advanced
with a very firm feeling. The tendency is
still upward.
During the week there has been good

Ing Of the week.
Trade In green apples has very much i'm
proved, owing probably to cooler weather
and part a shipping demand. We cannot
raise the prices, but sales were more readily
made.
The trade in peaches has been regulated
greatly by the supply. and prices have
ranged from 81 90 per buShel for common to
SO GO for the better grades.
Sweet potatoes have declined from 81 90
to zoe per bushel during the week.
In onions. dried apples and other articles
we have no change to note.
The petroleum market is not firm here,
and Pittsburgh papers note continued de-
cline in crude, and the lowest prices for
many years are reported at the oil landings
In the grocery trade there seems to be a
good business, without marked changes in
prices 1t Is predicted in the Eastern mar
kets that coffees and teas will soon depre-
ciate I'm price. During the past week there
has been some heavy failures in wholesale
houses In Baltimore, who have been carry
ing large stocks to keep up the prices OF
coffee.
No change to report i'm the wool market
The New York Bulletin Of the 18th says:
Reports from the West generally indicate a
very firm feeling at about 6Oc, which holders
there seem to regard as a ridiculouSly low
figure, and which few Of them care 10 ac-
cept. We find, however, that some of the
heaviest buyers In the State are willing to
unload at a much lower price, and when
they have succeeded In clearing themselves
OF wool II is probable that they will use
their b at en- leavOrS to convince the other
holders that prices shout ! decline. Indeed,
we hear of certain parties from Ohio who
are ready to contract with houses here to
by for them at SOC.
From a letter received by one OF our
prominent firms from very large Boston
firm we are permitted to make the follow
ing extract showing the exact condition of
the wool market:
The London sales opened on the 18th
previous sales. Wooden goods are selling
more freely but at low prices; but the money
market Is stringent and anxious holders are
pressing woods upon the market. some sales
OF which having been made at 81 to SIS and
Ohio at 81 to Cos. We see no encouraging
feature I'm the wool trade, and should not
advise your buying on the present market
at over ASS for Michigan and As to Ats for
Ohio and West Virginia. ...
The Iron market is very firm, but our
iron merchants are of the opinion that there
will be no change in quotations during the
remainder OF the season. They think that
the present figures will prevail throughout
the year.
