PROSPECTS AHEAD.

The signs all point 10 an early i'm
provement in the business outlook for
our state, such as has not marked any
business season since the disasterous
panic Of 1873. The now nearly abso-
lutte certainty of an abundant wheat
harvest, together with the spring opera
tons in stock. will soon put into circu.
lation ample money to cause . very per.
eeptible loossning Of the bonds Of trade.
The men who have survived, have the
sort Of stuff in them which indicates
their ability to meet the changed and
improved condition of things, with
every promise Of securing the broadest
margins Of profit. A little money now
goes very much farther than it did prior
TO the panic. Nearly every business
man who has weathered the storm so
far. has some. and with the fair pros
poets regarding the crop, it will be
boarded no longer, but win soon be felt
in the legitimate channels of trade.
There is one circumstance connected
with the business season upon which
we are fast entering. which is full of
promise. IL is this The farmers are
nearly out Of debt, thing which We
could not say Of any previous year Of
their history since the war. Whether
they make much or little, what they
do make will be all their own. Their
farms, implements and homes will be
improved to the extent in which their
present efforts succeed. Every business
interest connected with farming opera
tioas will sensibly feel the changed
condition, and what business is il which
is not intimately interviewer with and
dependent upon that Of the farmers.
Let them be out Of debt and prospecting
and every other legitimate worker has
the opportunity presented him to labor
and receive his reward.
The region tributary TO and trading
at Dallas, win raise, market and sell
perhaps million and half bushels of
wheat. Our stock markets are always
active. and each northern and eastern
hound train carries fat beeves to mark
cts, this is continual source of revenue.
and one which continues throughout
the season Fruit will be sold in large
quantities. Hides and wool are always
in demand, and are always seeking
market. These facts are very res.-
suring. and will put thseountry through
until the cotton comes in, without the
least danger Of failure. These advsn-
tAess are plainly in sisht, and may be
relied upon. Bat il added 70 this, We
have anything like . general war in
Europe on the Eastern complication.
which now seems unavoidable, the
demand for our provision crops wiz Be
intensified and prices enhanced, add
ing 10 the rsvsnus Of the farmers and
dsAiers in their present operations.
With this brief and necessarily i'm
peffsct sketch Of The outlook, 10

Any causes 70 feel satisfied with the
