OFFICE OF THE DAILY REGISTER
"WEDNESDAY, December 8.


no unusual activity in any branch, is
not at all dull, and trade may be COM
sidered ss fair. Collections, though not
as free as month since, are less diff
cult than in any of the neighboring
cities.
There is no change in Wheat and
Flour. Prices may be regarded as a
little frmer, with an upward tendency.
Sugars are lower. About a week
since an attempt was made in the East
to bull" the sugar market on account
OF the threatening aspect of affairs be-
tween this country and Spain, but the
settlement Of our difficulties without war
has brought the price Of sugars back to
the former standard.
The Provision market is very active
and prices have advanced on all articles
in our quotations. Our packers are very
busy and will put mp more meat this
season than ever before in any one year.
List, Davenport IL Parks have already
slaughtered 2.400 head, and Handlan
e Co. probably as many more.
Eggs are very scarce and still rule
high. 1t looks as if they would retail
for forty cents a dozen before Christ
mas.
Potatoes are scarce and in demand at
our quotations.
We give below the new nail card
adopted by the manu- iacturers of this
city on Tuesday last. 1t shows q re-
duction of p cents per keg,
The Wool market is still flat and
without change.
