DFFICE OF THE WHEELING REGISTER |
WEDNESDAY, January 8. ]
Trade is brsker generally than last
week, and merchants say the outlook Is
a cheerful one.
Produce is about the same as last week,
except butter, which has risen 8 cents
per pound. Eggs, also, are somewhat
higher.
Furs are dull, and no change in the
prices. or in prices of sheep pelts.
Although the quotations for flour and
grain remain unchanged, the market Is
stiffening up little, and an advance
may be expected before very long.
There has been but comparatively little
wheat brought into the city during the
week.
As will be seen by the quotations OF
provisions, there has been another drop
in the prices OF bacon and pork. Large
dealers say that more hogs have been
killed this year than usual, and that
in Fulton alone the number is over TO-
600. We take the following information
from the Chicago Weekly Commeretdt
Bulletin: The receipts OF hogs for the
past week were l63,g40 against
1898 for the corresponding period
last year. The supply of hogs in the
West is very large, and manufacturers
anticipate good receipts for the balance
of the month. More attention Is given
to the production OF Mess Pork than any
other branch of the trade, and heavy
sales have been made for future delivery
at satisfactory prices. l,l74,S5S hogs
were packed up to date, (Jsn. 4th,)
against 7SS,2l0 IN 1878. Chicago is the
only place save Louisville that shows
an increased business compared with last
yesr. At the smaller points, packing
has been greatly retarded 10y the weather
and the shortage is estimated al $4,000
or 100000 hogs. As larger quantity OF
hogs hsve been packed by farmers for
their own consumption than usual, the
prices for bacon and hams will probably
rule low. The advice from foreign mar
kets are unisvorsble to those holding
heavy stocks.
The grocery market Is not much
changed. A circular from New Or
leans firm saws: ave wish 10 call special
attention 10 the low prices of open ket-
tie sugar and molasses, both being lower
,hsn since 1861. The present season has
oeen most disastrous snd unprecedented
in the annals OF our Stste from the Sc
we're freeze in the early part Of last
month. The crop in consequence of the
freeze occurring SO early, was badly in
jured 10 quantity, and particularly SO in
quality"
The wool msrke, remains the same as
