WHOLESALE cl.orn1No.

In this trade the business Of 1873 has
aggregated larger sales than for several
years previous. No one, Scarcely need be
told that clothing has declined To prices
unknown even to times preceding the
war. Good, comfortable garments were
never before within such easy reach OF all
classes OF citizens. The clothiers art
seems to have been reduced to science,
and there Is scarce human form so badly
shaped that II cannot be as accurately
fitted from the stock OF a modern clothing
store as in the most fashionable tailoring
establishment. They have, therefore, be.
come the principal source Of clothing sup
plies Tor the whole people. With the i'm
mensely increased demand for ready made
clothing has come o corresponding i'm.
proyement not only In the quality Of the
material nsed but in the mechanical
workmanship. The sewing machine has la
ken away all necessity iorimpctfect work
manship, since it is just rs easy to make
up the goods in The best manner as TO
make them in that loose, slohbery FASH
ion which once characterized ready made
clothing as the work OF the slopshops.
The shrinkage in prices still continues,
and at present our merchants are unable to
discern any prospect for an improvement
or even steadiness in values, although 1t
would seem impossible that figures could
further decline. The business OF our
clothing men, like that Of our grocery
men, covers q wide extent Of territory Of
varied conditions Of prosperity, but on
the whole they consider the trade In a
fairly satisfactory condition. 1t Is yet too
early to form an accurate estimate Of the
spring trade. -- n

TOBACCO AND c1aARs.

There is no business In the city that has
maintained the same uniformity so fur as
prices are concerned, as the tobacco bust.
ness In all its branches Merchants and
manufacturers say that the trade has been
satisfactory, although the business has not
aggregated as large an amount OF sales for
last year as compared with other years.
There seems to be q cnnyiction that radi.
cal changes in the revenue department
are imminent, and the trade Is constantly
terrorized, so TO speak, during the sessions
OF Congress, with tho apprehension that
the tax will be greatly modified. The con-
sequence Is an effort to be in readiness for
the expected change. The purchases are
merely from hand to mouth during the
session Of Congress, but more liberal be.
tween sessions. Yet there Is great care q.
mong dealers that they be not caught with
large stocks on hand. The manufacturers Of
cigars, some Of whom do business on q large
scale, in the effort to:keep their employees
together, accumulated larger stocks than
they would otherwise carry, and have thus
taken greater risk as to adverse legislation
than any other class Of tobacco dealers.

TIE RMAiLEt.s,


All the retail merchants inform us that
the business OF 1878 was exceedingly large
In the aggregate OF yards sold. The prices,
however, were, as a rule, the lowest that
goods Of similar quality have ever been re.
tailed Tor In this market like the whole
sale men they feel thatrook bottom has
been touched. Some Of them have al.
ready laid in immense stocks oil staple
goods In the foil confidence that The in
yestment Is absolutely safe, and gives
promise Of good profit. Their Jan,
uary collections have been easI-
or than for several years, and their
strictly cash sales for the year have been
beyond precedent In fact, our merchants
have wisely offered very decided induce.
ments TO cash buyers, and many Of them
are Of the opinion that the entire business
can be reduced to q cash system. There d

our mercantile class are the dry goods mef.
chants, both wholesale and retail. Not that
they have found the year 1878 ono Of great
profit but because their business seems to
have gotten down 70 hard pan, aud the
year 1870 opens with prospect Of decided
steadiness, II not stiffness in prices. The
vast surplus Of manufactured goods,
through the agency OF trade sales and ex.
portation, seems to have been pretty well
worked of, and the supplies arc more in
0onsonance with the comsumptiye capac.
ity OF the country. Tho profits Of 1878
though small enough were better than for
years previous and the season Of 1879
opens with a brisker demand from country
dealers who seem TO partake Of the belief
that now Is a good time TO buy. With
the inclination TO purchase comes the de.
sire to fortify credit by prompt settlement
Of current bills, for which reason our mer-
chants in the wholesale line report unus.

HARDWARE.

Business with the Hardware merchants
for 1878 was as good or better than 1877.
The trade has not, however, been remun-
eratlye In proportion TO the amount Of
business done. There has been for years
continuous shrinkage In the price Of
nearly all lines Of hardware, which still
continues, We ar: told that the decline
since the war has been fully fifty per cent.
We are glad to note that goods OF Ameri.
can manufacture are fast driving out all
others: in fact they now control the mar.
ket. There are but few inquiries for goods
of English make and are mostly confined
to files, fine pocket knives and sheep
shears. German goods on the market are
nearly nominal in quantity, and both
English and German goods 10 order to get
into our market at all, are sold at remark
ably low figures. The business In this city
is in the hands OF very careful and exper.
fenced dealers and has been managed With
great skill, so that losses by bad sales have
been remarkably few. Still they have made
some. Their customers however are gen.
erally on asound basis and the collections
for last year were more satisfactory than
for several years past. The prospect for
business for the present year IS spoken OF
cheertully,and is based upon the unusually
early inquiry for goods in advance OF send
ing out travellers, which indicates q bare
market.

HEAVY HARDWARE.

This business suffers but little from
home competition, there being virtually
but two firms engaged in 1t. Like. all
other business in the city, II has expert
enced continuous decline in prices, The
business OF 1873 was based upon very low
prices, and the large transactions Of the
year yielded but meagre profit, although
careful management has shielded 1t from
absolute loss. January collections were
satisfactory, and the year starts off with a
fairly brisk trade and gives promise OF an
increased business. While prices have
not advanced there is faith that they
have touched bottom, and that when there
Is change twill be to decided firmness
OF present figures, II not an absolute ad-
vance in many articles. Although as COM
pared with other departments Of the hard
ware business the dealers are few, yet
Wheeling can rightly boast Of at least one
OF the most extensive establishments west
OF the mountains. The trade, too, covers
large extent Of territory, extending
down the river to GalIipolIs, out the rail-
road to Harper's Ferry, q considerable
portion Of Eastern Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania. The assortment OF goods
comprises everything that enters into the
manufacture OF wagons and carriages as
well as blacksmith's tools and stock. The
long list Of goods is too numerous to men.

The experience Of druggists for the past
year, like the groCery.men, has been va.
ried, and therefore We get from different
dealers very different views. Some OF
them claim that they have done as fair a
business as the general condition OF all
trade would allow. All articles, with few
exceptions, have been unprecedentedly
low IN price, leaving but small margin Of
profit. As in tho matter Of sales, so in
January settlements, there have been d.
verse experiences. With some, collections
have been very satisfactory, while with
Others they have been even harder than
one year ago. Many articles, belonging
more properly to the drug trade, are kept
by gFoGefs, Druggists allege that there Is
q disposition on the part OF the grocery
trade TO make their business q anrt Of
.Onnium gathenm," and to keep anything
and everything that they can make sub.
sorYient 10 the sale Of other and more sta.
Pile goods, The business in the closeness
Of selling prices to cost figures, Is not ex.
ceelcd by any other, many articles being
sold as low as one.eighth Of q cent above
cost. On the whole, the business Is CON
siderably cut up, there being quite mum.
Der OF large houses in the trade, large
number IN fact for the territory that legit-
inately belongs to our city. All Of our
dealers, however, seem inclined TO stick to
the business, trusting TO thBgGneFal bright,
ening Of the business sky for better times
