THOSE who will take the trouble to
compare the "iamily market quotations
for meats and vegetables in Wheeling, las
reported this morning,) with the quota
tions in the Cincinnati papers Of Tues
day, for the same articles, will see a de-
cided difference in favor Of Cincinnati.
Why this should be il not clear, we pre-.
sume, to the ordinary mind, but ii is
nevertheless fact. For instance, in the
matter Of meats, here are the Cincinnati
family market prices Rib roast beef l2!
and 10, against 10 here sirloin steak 10
and 20, against IS here mutton s and l2!
against l9l and lj lamb 10 and lS
against l2l and 10; veal lOand 10, against
lS; fresh pork 10, against l2; cornCd beef
q and 10, against 10 and l9!; sausage TO-,
against 10; breakfast bacon l2l and 10,
against 10; chickens % aud 40 each,
against 80 and 40; Gheesel4 and 10, against
90 choice ycllowbutIeri 30 against 90 and
%.
In the matter Of vegetables there Is the
same difference in favor Of Cincinnati
prices. For instance, potatoes are quoted
at 10 and IL per half peck at Cincinnati,
here they bring, for old, 35 per peck,
and, for new, 25 and per quarter peck.
Tomatoes bring % aud 80 per half peck at
Cincinnati, and here % per quarter peck.
Apples are 20 and 80 per half peck at
Cincinnati, and 10 per quarter peck here.
Other quotations areas follOwsi Cincin-
natl, onions, per half peck, 10 and 20,
(here 4O); peas $ and 10 ditto, (here l2
and lj); beans 8 and 10 ditto, (here the
ame); corn 10 and 10 per dozen, there

25); cucumbers and 2 each, there % and
80 per doren) radisles . and 8 per bunch, ,
there Sand j); llpets 9and 8, (ierc and j);
squushes 8 and 10, there the same(; let.
tuce and Q, (hcre BY carrots . and 8,

Cincinnati and its cnvirons compose q
communttyot about 100000 people, while
Wheeling and its suburbs cannot boast Of
more than $4,000. Our market has rich

Virginia to draw from, and the land

fourth the Investment around Cincinnati.
Why, then, should nearly everything in
the way Of meats and vegetables be higher
in Wheeling than in Cincinnati.

CiaI conduct, The President In asking
Attorney-General Pierpoint to suspend
his request Of District Attorney Fisher to
resign merely desired to afford the latter
an opportunity to fully reply to the
complaint against him affecting the
administration OF his office. There will bc
no further Intervention by the President,
The Attorney General will therefore
act in such manner as he may deem prop
er, and with this understanding the Cab.
met are satisfied.
The son Of the District Attorney to-
day resigned his positionas Assistant.
Mr.. Delano retired early from the
Cabinet, the business which he laid be-
fore the President concerning his depart

trary to rumor, the fact Of his thus
retiring has no significance whatever con-
cerning his official position.
