)FFICE OF THE WHEELING REGISTER,
TUESDAY, April lG. !
Business in tho city is looking up
throughout most otprominent branches of
trade. We are now doing the business
that we should have done in March, and
consequently are about a month behind
time in the spring work. The wholesale
houses say that sales are getting better
every day, while the commercial travel,
lers are rushing things in their vari
Gus lines among the country
merchants. Prices are trmor, and but
few breaks in quotations are made even
for large bills. The small storekeepers,
grocerymen, butchers, &c, report better
feeling among their customers, as re-
CARDS the more expensive classes OF
goods. The trade in garden stuff is Of
course q heavy ore inst now, and the
profits are large. Collections are less
difficult to make, and taking it all ia all
the outlook is not SO respondent as it has
been for 50 long.
The grocery trade is at present the
most prosperous, aud the big houses are
hard at work filing orders.
Grain and flour are extremely dull,
but outside of this fact there is little else
to be said.
Dry goods merchants report a good
trade, with fair chances Of improvement
as the season opens.
Wool and provisions sre quiet in
prices, and fair sales are beng made in
the latter.
