OFFICE OF THE WHEELING REGISTER. /
"WEDNESDAY, Dec. Is, 1875. !
The general condition of trade during
the past week has been moderately fair.
In lighter goods, such as toys, confection-
aries, &c, business has been real brisk,
though there is not the life in the trade
nor the liberality IN the purchases by
retail dealers that has characterized
past years. In this, as in all other
branches Of business, the disposition is
manifested to buy cautiously and econo-
mically, and not be caught when the sea-
son over, with large surplus stock on
hand which must hold over till next year
Flour is slow at quotations, yet quite
firm.
Little wheat is c,ming in at present.
The reason assigned is that holders think
there will be further advance.
Provisions are quiet, with no change
in figures. Hogs are only in moderate
demand at present Messrs. List, Daven-
port and Parks informed us that they
did not thiak they would kill any more
this month.
Co1ees are very firm and II shade
higher, though no change has bcon made
in our quotations. This stiffness Is
stimulated, no doubt, by the proposition
in the President message TO Congress to
increase the tax thereon.
In wool the demand is good for choice
woods, but there is little Offering. I'm

slow sales
