HARDWARE.
Mr.. Griffith, of A. Griffith u Co.
says: Business Is about the same as
corresponding season last year. There
is every indication Of a better trade In
the hardware line this fall than last.
The hlacksmiths' Farmers aud meroh.
ants have already commenced buying,
The demand now is mainly for staple
goods--nails, iron, blacksmiths' mate
rails etc. The farmers appear to be
we'll supplied with money, and pay
cash for what they get. There is every
indication OF healthy and better
trade than there has been for two or
three years past.
Mr.. II, h. Bell reported light trade
the past summer, but 1t is now picking
up. The jobbing trade Is fair and
gradually increasing, Have prepared
for and expect heavy trade this fall.
Heavy hardware, including nails,
iron, steel, &C., has picked up finely
1t being the season when this class OF
goods is largely used, In the item OF
nails alone, Mr.. Bell states he has sole
more the past month than the pre-.
vious three months combined. He
learns from his customers and farmers
with whom he has talked, that the
cotton crop in Dallas county and in
counties tributary to it, are better than
In any other portion of the state, Sc
far as they have learned. Money
matters are easier with his customers,
the wheat sales relieving them.
pIOws.
Mr.. Sy dney Smith, superintendent
Of the Texas branch of the Avery pillow
manufacturing company, stated tina
they now have an elegant trade IL
breaking and sulky plows, the hes
summer trade they have had in many
years in Texas. There lately has beer
an eager interest manifested among
farmers in improved agricultural i'm
plements, and great interest is taken
in riding, turning plows. To show that
this Is true, Mr.. Smith stated that Q
carload of these plows were received
Friday evening, and every one wa'
sold by Saturday night. Mr.. Smith
has a splendid opportunity to judge the
outlook, as his company sells to one
hundred and ninety-two towns in
Texas. With the exception OF the
extreme southern portion ofthe state,
he has had very encouraging letters
from leaders, who think the pillow trade
this fall will be agreat deal better
than II ever was.
Mr.. A. Menier, manager OF the
Texas branch of the South Bend Iron
Works chilled pillow, said: Business
was opening up fair. From reports they
have from their customers, they ex'
pect large fall trade, fully four times
as large as last fall. The company art
making extensive arrangements t.
further introduce their plows In Texas
and by the first of October will largely
add to their stock and capital here
This they consider necessary on 40
count of the hopeful prospects ahead
based on information received from
their customers. The company look
for better showing from the brancl
In Texas th an in any other state, an'
they have branches In five others

bushels per day. There was deman

Thought that three-fourths of th
wheat was yet in the hands of tn
farmers. He considers this the yer
best thing that could be done for th

been the custom for farmers to brin

the price, and giving the shippers
