The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1882-01-16


TIE Clarksburg NelrJ shows itself very
indifercntly posted indeed us to public
sentiment, inside and outside the Repub-
iicau party, when 1t says that Gen. Grant
"is the only prominent Republican candi.
date before the party" for the Presidency.
The fact is that Gen. Grant is not seriously
thought of in that way He was not the
choice Of the Republican party in 1880 for
President as was shown by the fact That in
the Chicago Convention he got the big end
Of his vote from Democratic staies. lie
never was further from the Presidency
than hc is today The incumbent Of the
olEice-is-net supposed to be third term
man any longer. On the contrary, he is
supposed to be second term man, And
SO Mr.. Conkling is also presumably q sec.
ond term man. On the other hand, Mr..
Blaine is presumed to be still a first term
candidate. As things look to-day, the two
prominent candidates for 1881 are Chester
A. Arthur and James G. Blaine. Is the
Nea not able to discern the sign Of the
times to this extent?

THE building projects for the coming
season seem to be very encouraging. The
New York Buiicttn Of Saturday notes that
builders hardware, mechanics tools, us
well as agricultural tools and implements,
are all wanted to full extent for the sea.
son, and in some cases manufacturers are
already sold ahead Of production, and com.
PEELED to exercise some care in booking
orders. Prices show rather q hardening
tendency. For instance, the nail market
is Every strong at full rates" In this con.
necti6n we may note the remark Of the
Pittsburgh Manufacturer in regard to
nails, that the stock throughout the West
is much smaller than 1t was n year ago,
and this, too, notwithstanding the produc,
ton last year was larger than in 1880,
showing a greatly increased consumption.
This increased consumption is but the
natural result Of the rapid growth Of the
country, the large immigration to the West
and the general business prosperity.

So FARas we have observed the state
ments made by the National Banks Of this
region for the 3lst Of December, they ap.
pear to be in excellent condition. One Of
the excellencies OF the National system is
that the banks are obliged to particutarize
in their statements down to point
whereat theaverage business man can form
q fair judgment as to their status. We
have not seen the figures Of the First M.
tional Bank ut Grafton, but judging by a
summary given in the Sentinel Of last week,
the institution is in very gratifying CON
dition. II says:
The condition Of the bank is most sat.
istactory, while its business is steadily on
the increase, The bank dida business last
. year Of nearly eight millions against six
millions i'll 1850, and five millions in 1870.
Six months ago the bank officers decided
TO reduce its interest rate from eight to six
per cent, whichaction has proved very sat
isfactory. The Increase Of business has
more than made up the difference in in.
terest charges TO the bank, so that the di-
reCtors on the first Of January declared the
usual senli-annuat dividend OF five per
cent.
Much OF the banks business is in the
smaller transactions which require great
deal OF clerical labor. The receipts in yari-
Gus ways and disbursements on checks,
range from $1,000 to $4,000 daily"
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1882-01-16


Mn. HoRNER Of the Parkersburg ScHIincl
an attache of the present Legislature, sends
a column Of news and gossip from Wheel
ing to his paper of last week. Among Other
things, he says that there is scheme on
foot TO Mahonize West Virginia on the
Prohibition question. Judge Ferguson and
Judge Brown are to figure conspicuously
in the movement, and the upshos OF it is
TO be the election Of the former to the
United States Senate to succeed Senate,

VIZ sincerely sympathize with our Steu.
benyille neighbors. They have been Ia,
boring for weeks past--yes, for months
to raise $4,000 to put into new railroad
that appears to hang on their success in
raising $4,000 They have raised Sl7 600
and the town has apparently been drum.
med to the point Of exhaustion. The foreign
syndicate are memorable. They must have
the $4,000, and the cry Of the auctioncer
of the Gazette is, Are you all done, gentle
men, at $4,000? Ii so, close the books,
fence the town, and let him be anathcma
who has not subscribed.
Since the above was written we notice in
the Gazette Of Saturday, the following:
Major Burt, Of the NIingo Furnace
called on W. II, WALLACE at the Jefferson
