CAIRO, Ills, MONDAY EVENING, |
February is, 1873.


February Is, 1878. I
The critical political situation abroad
has disturbing Influence on the minds
OF business men, though 30 far as values
are concerned but few fluctuations are
reported. The only real effect Is to cause
speculation as to the probable action Of
the foreign powers and to retard action in
trade.
The weather for the last day or two
has been more favorable, Though II will
require week or ten days Of warm, dry
weather to put the roads In even a
passablc condition for the movement OF
grain and produce.
There Is nothing out of the ordinary
run OF business here to report. There is
fair order demand for Hour, but no
speculative demand. The foreign news
has had little or no effect on the market
here, and prices remain about as last
quoted. Receipts for the last week or
ten days have been comparatively
light, and stocks are some>
what reduced. particularly of in
termediate grades. There Is a liberal de.
mand TOR choice to good mixed hay, at
quotations, while common grades are
plenty and dull. Receipts of choice are
ID1tfnh anI tim sfs.ol- ta u,
small. There is very little doing in
corn. The demand is light, though
prices are not changed, and steady at
quotations. Receipts are not large, and
the stock ION the market limited. The
same may be said OF the oat market. only
that the supply Is better and receipts
liberal. The demand, however, Is not
so active, and prices remain about as last
quoted. There is fairly active demand
for meal at prices below. The supply Is
iair. Bran is in good demand at $I5,
There Is fairly active demand for early
varieties of potatoes for seed, but other.
wise the market Is quiet and prices
steady at quotations. A limited supply
of choice apples would find ready sale ct
good prices, but the demand is not
sufficient to warrant us in urging
large shipments. Butter OF all
kinds IS In plenty, and receipts con,
tinue large while the demand is light.
Prices are not changed, however. Eggs
are in good supply and receipts liberal.
The demand is only iair. Receipts OF
poultry have been more liberal, and the
market is now we'll supplied, and prices |
show decline. Receipts OF dressed |
meats are light, while the demand is
good. No sales were reported.

TIE REASONS WHY
All should Buy their Groceries from
Pettfs d Bird.

al rhouiu buy tnehr groceries from
Pettis d BIRD.
Below we give number OF reasons
why people should buy their groceries
from Pettis & Bird:

freshest and choicest in the city.
End. Because they sell goods of every
Kind cheaper than any other house in the
city.
3rd.-Because they deliver goods more
promptly and in better shape than any
other house in the city.
4th.--Because they keep the most com.
plete stock, and persons desiring to
purchase iifierent kinds OF goods are not
compelled to 60 elsewhere because
Messrs. Z. & B. have not got the goods
they want.
These we consider substantial reasons
why our readers should buy their goods

It Is we'll known that A. j. Clark,
editor of the Banner, was anxious to
be elected by the Democratic county
convention of Saturday last as a dele
gate to the legislative district couven>
ton One of the principal causes Of
this desire was to make it appear that
the Democrats of this county are dis
posed to indorse him as worthy mem>
Der of their party. But he could not
even get his name before the convention
as nobody Was willing to oppear as an
endorser Of him in any sense whatever.
After the close of the convention the
minutes Of the proceedings we're gwen
10 us for publication in the Transcript.
We asked permission to deliver the
minutes to the editor of the Banner
after we had finished using them Gas a
matter of courtesy toward him), hut
both the chairman and the secretary
refused to allow the minutes to come in
to his hands at all. And every dele
gate present, without an exception
that We could learn Of, viewed the
Banner and its editor the same as the
chairman and the secretary Of the con-
vention did.
