JOURNAL OFFICE, Aug. 10, 1875,
Business for the week just ended has
been decidedly fiat, As it always is at thi.
season. Merchants still live upon hope,
and, if that would pay bank notes, they
would feel perfectly easy. New wheat Is
beginning to come in, making only five
days difference between this and last year,
a. will be seen by the following table, fur
niahed us through the kindness Of: w. w,

Making wheat worth to-day II cents over
the price paid one year ago.
The above, however, forms but a small
proportion of the wheat brought to this
Market as the several mills in this vicinity
consume, at least three times that amount.
New oats are beginning to arrive. but no
stated price can be quoted yet.
Barley is also coming in freely, and fine
bright samples meet with ready sale at 85c.
Potatoes are small and supply limited.
Butter remains at last weeks quotations,
and eggs are abundant at 15c.
New cabbage and tomatoes are making
their appearance, but at prices too high for
newspaper men. A wistful look at those
articles, while passing the grocery doors, is
all we can afford in these hard times; but
when the good times come and people once
more begin to pay the printer, we will then
indulge in those luxuries.
Other goods remain the same, as may be
seen by the following retail list: ...,.
