To day and Yesterday were beautiful
spring days; Just such weather as is CAL
culated 10 gladden. the hearts Of not only
merchants, but everybody on whom the
/ gloom of the long winter has not thrown
too deep shadow
The past week has been one of largely
increased activity in most branches of
trade. One firm dealing in dry good, state
that the prospects are that their sales
during the next thirty days will be fully
equal to any they have made in the same
length of time before, and the iirm-L. :.
Delaplain X Co.-haS been long establish
ell in this city. This with the universal
report of increased activity, is quite graft
flying, and indicates that the hopes ex-
pressed in this column OF fair spring
trade are to be more than realized.
The produce market is quite active
with rising prices OH several articles.
Apples and potatoes, two important arti-
cles, are becoming scarcer and higher.
In wholesale groceries, few advances
IN prices are to be noted, and are quoted
in this city. SUGARS reported higher in
the East, but the market quotations here
are still unchanged.
The expected advance in iron and
nails has not yet taken place. The pres
sure for an advance still continues, and
will quite likely take effect before another
week. Carriage bolts have advanced 10
pc, cent. in other places, but Wheeling
dealers still maintain the old prices.
The grain trade remains very dull at
unchanged prices, and Is likelyt remain
inactive until farmers get through the
pressure Of spring work.
The fun trade has about closed, dealers
in thi, city being engaged in shipping
preparatory to closing until next season.
