Tissre was fine trade in the city this morning,
although the weather ID still unsettled ana
usatening, The demand to-day was chiefly
or plantation supplies, and tho leading article
b aeon, of which 1t Is selling In almost unlimited
uantities. 1t Is roughly estimated that 81 600
per day Is being expended in Dallas alone for
western meat, Iand this figure
ts low, for this is not oyer half q car load per
day, and we know there is more than that
bel ne sold. But this furnishes data upon the
raisingjaud fattening of our own hog when
every farmer In Texas ought TO do, ana II ne
