MARKETS & MARKETING
991 • H&G Jan. 24; ed: 2/3 - The markets of the cities and villages of
southern and central Ohio are better supplied with all the good things
produced by the independent cultivators of a bounteous soil than perhaps
any otber portion of the Union.
"Every little town has its market house and market days, and it would
exci te the envy of a Reserve burgher, to witness the abundance, cheapness,
and excellence of the various commodities tbere offered •••.
"On the Reserve, too little attention is paid to marketing. Few, if
any of the many flourishing villages have a market house or regular market
days, and even this city is destitute of any suitable place for the
comfort and convenience of such as would supply our citizens with those
necessaries, which every fami ly has now to purchase as it best can, and
at dear rates. The present market place is at best a poor apology for the
name, and reflects little credit on a city of the population, enterprise
and business of Cleveland. t' (4)
992 - H&G Feb. 7: 2/5 . Considerable Flour, Pork, Butter, &c. arriving in
wagons; mostly stored and held for the spring trade. The roads are now
good, but the dullness of the market has had the effect to diminish the
amount of Produce that usually comes in at this season. The ice in the
Lake, has principally disappeared from one shore, though we can hardly
expect that navigation will be attempted before spring. (5)
993 . H&G Feb. 28:2/4 - "We have had a very cold week; the sleighing is
fine in ever direction: • Little or nothing doing in the market except
in a small way, from waggons. Butter, and provisions of all sorts have
come in plenty, and such supplies can be obtained now, at less prices than
for some months heretofore.
"A sale of 1500 bbls of flour was made last week for the Michigan market,
deliverable in all the month of May, at $6.50." (1)
994 • H&G Sept. 4; ed:2/2 - Of the weekly $10,000 sales at the Pittsburg
market, water and muskmelons alone bring in an estimated $3,000!
