WHEELING, Tuesday, October 10.
We have no very remarkable alteration II
the situation OF tbe wholesale trade to note, Q
fairly active movement being still in opera
ton In most OF the leading branches. In the
grain trade the receipts continue large, and
prices are easy, except on ear corn, which u
rather scarce. There Is o tolerably good trade
IN most OF the leading staples Of country pro.
duce, with liberal supplies; butter Is In limited
demand and weak Groceries are moving
steadily, with an easy tendency to prices on
sugar and coffee. Provisions are easier with
some reductions In quotations. ff2,

BurTER-The trade In bntter has taken q
rather weak turn under. the absence Of any
regular consumptiye demand for supplies
from the commission trade. Even on choice
and fancy qualities tile market Is weak and
offish, and sales can only be made at conces-
sions, while low grades can hardly be sold IN.
der any circumstances Supplies show very
heavy accumulation; we quote fancy at loo
