GtreQnteuiqe1rer:


A comparison Of the now current prices
of leading commodities, with those OF q
year ago, does not show, perhaps, that
marked difference which is generally sup.
posed to exist. As rule, quotations are
lower than in July, 1878, but the differ
ence is not so great as it was one or two
months ago, there having been lately a
decided tendency towards an improve
ment in values. The following compsri.
son shows the wholesale prices Of leading
articles in this city, on the 2lst Of July,
in 1874 and 1873. respectiYelY:
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1874-07-28

VI the twenty-five articles ABOVE
enumerated, thirteen are lower than q
year ago, eight higher and one unchanged.
The articles which have advanced are
chiefly the Western products-wool, pork,
beef, lard, corn and whisky. The rise in
animal food products and in corn Is due
chiefly to an unusually large export de-
msnd, with only usual supply; and the
value Of these articles being mainly con-
trolled by the foreign markets, this up
ward variation in their value is not to be
sought in any domestic conditions. Coz
fee, also, shows q rise OF two cents per
pound, which is 10 be attributed 10 the
lightness Of the last Rio crop.
The decline in wheat and flour is not
important, but would doubtless have been
much greater but for the fact that the ex.
port demand has taken fully 10000
bushels more from this port alone, since
January l, than the usual average export
for the first halt Of the year. The decline
Of four cents per pound in the value Of
cotton is a very important AuctuatiOn, rep.
resenting, as Il does, q diminution Of $685..
100000 in the value Of an average cotton
crop. PeIroleumshow reduction OF 81
cents on refined; the bearing Of which
upon the petroleum interest may be
imagined from the tact that upon our an.
nual exportable surplus, it would amount
TIA reduction In value OF nearly 10000
900. Thus, in the two articles oil cotton
and petroleum, we have decline In the
value OF the exportable surplus of about
$4,000 600. The fall in breadstuti5 does
not affect the value Of the total export;
because the reduction is but slight, and
the shipments have enormously increased
In quantity.
As rule, articles the market for which
Is chiefly confined 10 home consumption
are lower, natural consequence OF the
economy following upon the panic. Wool
Is tho chief exception 10 the rule, and ad-
vance in this article Is due to material
falling oil in the receipts Of both the for.
eign and domestic staple, rather than 10
any increase in the demand. The metals
are generally lower. The decline of SIT
per ton in pig iron Is equivalent to o re-
duction Of $34, 600, 900 on the estimated
annual production Of 100000 tons.
These changes in the values OF our larger
staples far moro than offset the higher
prices upon some minor articles, and re-
veal condition Of our industries which,
though bearing heavily on producers in
cases where wages have not been ade-
qustcly reduced, yet lay the basis for an
active resumption Of business upon sound.
