WEDNESDAY, February l., 1875.
The river continues closed with ice,
and, ofcourse, all trade with the import
ant sections dependent upon that avenue
of trafc is stopped.
Our quotations Of Groceries are un-
changed, although there has been little
sliding up and down in prices during the
week in the articles of coffee and sugars
occasioned by the uncertainty Of the pas
sage of the tariff bill by Congress.
Grain and -four are unchanged. The
supply of both is larger.
Carbon Oil has advanced lic per gal
Ion and Mess Pork declined SOC per bbl.
In Cincinnati, Whisky has been eH-
cited, and the price has advanced l4c per
gallon, in view OF the probable passage
of the new tax bill, which places an ad
ditional tax of l5c. upon all whisky now
on hand as well as that TO be hereafter
manufactured. This proposed legisla-
tion created great tlutter among the
large dealers, and they at once sent their
agents broadcast over the country about
Us thick as the "locusts Of Egypt, offer
ing to stock up their country customers \
II small advance, say l4c., over the old
price. This was shrewd stroke
OF business. for it put the
amount of the new government tax into
the pockets of the large establishments
and left their customers to settle with
Uncle Sam when his agent shall come
along.
The great severity and the length of
the winter has caused almost a suspen-
sion of general business for siN weeks
So one may fairly look for an increased
trade this Spring, in consequence Of this
rest.
