is the case particularly, Very little
wheat is coming in and just enoughtiour
being sold to meet the actual wants OF
the consumer.
Groceries and provisions are amongst
the class of goods that seem to be in some
demand, and trade in that direction shows
some activity.
In produce the supply has become very
limited, there being few arrivals and con-
sequently there is good demand. APP
piles, butter and eggs are higher. Though
the weather is favorable for Il greater de-
mand in poultry, prices have not sdvanc-

RECEIPT OF WHEAT FOR THE YEAR END
ING JAN. ], 1875.
Upon inquiry from one of our millers
yesterday, as to the quantity of wheat
received by the city and Bridgeport
mills for the year, we were informed that
it would not fall short Of 100000 bushels.
Half of this estimate is based upon the
actual receipts, the rest is AZ approx
mate estimate, but probably correct.
RECEIPTS OF HOGS.
We learn from Mr. Davenport, Of the
firm of List, Davenport X Parks, whose
information is thorough on this point,
that the number Of Hogs packed in
Wheeling during the year ending Janu-
airy |, 1875, is 200, and up to date 300.
The total number packed last season WAS
$500 There being an increase to date
this year over last of 700 head About
1000 head of those packed this season,
came from the West. These figures re-
fer only to the packers. The butchers
and private dealers last year, it is estima-
tod killed about 300 head, making the
total number butchered during the sea-
son of 73-74, foot up to 10000. Sup
posing no more hogs were handled
the balance of this season.
it would yet show an increase over last
season of 700 head Although there has
been a "Iet up by the packers hercabout,
in purchasing any more on the ground
that they are too high, thre will probably
be from l,5OOto 1000 head slaughtered
vet before March first, when the season
will be virtually ended.
