WEDSEsDAY AUG 1875

NEDNEsDAY, Aug. 4, 1915.
This has been bad week in business
circles. RAINY, cloudy weather, with
destructive foods and spoliation Of the
farmers crops, there were no features to
encourage business. Buying and selling
Is now as completely at stand still as it
has ever been in Wheeling. The only
thing talked Of is the weather, rains,
floods, and their effects upon the un.
gathered crops. Wheat has gone up
say SOC per bushel, and flour SlOO per
barrel. This advance in breadstufs may
not be maintained long, if the weather
clears. What with the good stock of old
wheat in the country, an unprecedented
corn crop, and almost illimitable yield of
potatoes, there may yet be enough to feed
all mouths at moderate price.
Sugars have settled little in price
but not enough to affect quotations. Pur-,
chasers may buy, say Jc under our
figures.
Coffee is dullcr, but has not declined.
Provisions have advanced-mess pork
81 90 per barrel, and sugar cured hams
!c per ID.
No change in Wool, but as cotton is
advancing, with the expectation of great
injury TO that crop in many sections of
the South by rain and food, there may
be IA better future for wool as well.
