While the recent failures have had II
depressing effect, we do not see that,
they have had IA disGstrously lasting
one. The general impression among
the most experienced and longest
heat ed business men il that new men
with capital TO do business will now
come in aud that the commercial pro
gress and standing of Dallas will not
suffer materially
The tradein agricultural implements
has been good, the demand for pIows,
wagons and farm machinery being
very encouraging to dealers. oar city
may now be considered the largest de-
pot in the State for these supplies.
Our cotton market for the past few
days has declined slightly, tut not
proporLionateIy with the leading mar
iets, which have been demoralized
under the pressure Of huge receipts at
the ports.
| The Indications now are that instead
of the great falling or in receipts Tor
which the short crop and high price
men have been 80 confidently looking
during the month of February, chat
we will on the LIST OF March have II
greater excess of receipts over cores
ponding time last year than we had
on the lst OF the present month.
Should we venture the expression Of
an opinion of the market we should
Ue compelled to say from the present
outlook we expect lower prices, aud
would advise our friends TO bring their
by avoiding all risk Of loss by fire and
country damage, to cay nothing of the
probabilities OF having to accept lower
price later on, and the many uses the
proceeds of the sale could be put to at
present.
There has not been margin enough
between our market and any of the
leading cotton Centers for the past
month, to pay bare freights, not to
mention the numerous other charges
and IL small profit which the average
cotton man generally wants, and
such time seems to us TO be good
one to sell in.
