Mr.. Stewart, OF the Dallas elevator
company said; "0ur present trade IL
good, and we think the future will be
better than the present. Our business
will compare favorably with that Of
this time last year. Receipts average
a thousand bushels per day. We ship
south and have orders from somesouth-
ern states. Although we have made
some large shipments this season, there
Is plenty Of wheat yet In the state.
Only small portion has come to mar
ket the farmers holding for higher
prices. Thought that the farmers were
standing in their own light holding
back their wheat. If this continues
some mlllers think of sending else
where for their supply.
THE FLoUR MILLS.
The Todd mills have added new ma
ohinery, and have increased their ca
pacity one-third, having put in three
new runs, making seven. They report
an improvement. OF business over this
time last year, and are now running
TO their full capacity, The flour sea-
aon commenced a little late this year,
owing TO the fact that the millers had
to pay high prices for their grain at
the start, giving st, Louis u chance to
ship In, throwing the Dallas mills in
strong competition with them. But
now 1t was more even, and the Dallas
mills could meet the st. Louis mills
on terms favorable to Dallas. This
mill turns out three hundred barrels Of
flour per day and their sales are d.
rect They will commence running at
night in day or two. Ship east and
south, and have u demand for all the
flour they can make.
The Dallas Touring mills have been
running night and day ever since new
wheat came in to keep up with their
orders. They ship in every direction,
and even half way to st. Louis. thus
competing with the mills OF that city.
LIQUORS.

for the past two months has been one
third greater than corresponding sea-
son last year. During the past sum-
mer have carried medium stock, add
ing to 1t as needed, but now have made
extensive preparations, and count on
handling one-half more goods this fall
than last The crop reports are most
favorable, and we anticipate better
business thereby. This seems to be
the general feeling. The firm have 0
very good and increasing trade, partic
ularly west.'
Mr.. Tillmann, of Tillmann u Friend
said : 1--WE are doing a larger business
than this time last season. Have al
ready shipped part Of our fall orders

tember that business with US will be
fully opened. We carry as large 0
stock as any liquor house in Texas,
and have a splendid western trade, ex.
tending as far rs Fort Concho."
LUMBER.
Mr.. Carter, manager OF Elliotps lum
Der yard, said: "The lumber trade
will be large this fall, l think, and
base my opinion on the excellent con-
dition Of the crops. We do twice The
business now that we did this time las,
year. This is owing to the extreme
low price of lumber and the excellent
demand, and the fact that the farmers
expecting good prices for the crops
are not afraid to spend even their las
dollar for lumber. Our trade Is princi
pally northwest and southwest Mr.
Elliott also has a large lumber yard In
Fort Worth.
