Coal advanced in Chicago on Tuesday
from 81 to $3.50 per ton: aud lsading
dealers say thatit will 30 up TO IS toss.
50 within the next month. The cause
Of the advance is the apprehension OF
a rcarity. Nearly 10000 tons are fire..
zen up between Chicago and Buffalo,
and there is little prospect of getting

a supply can be brought by rail, but
this tends to MAKE the price higher.

And, too, so far as this geographical division
of Texas goes, the people were never more
prosperous. They are in easy financial cir
cumstances, have ready sale for all they pro-
duce, fail to supply over half demanded,
thus forcing the purchase of pro-
ducts of ether States, and get fine
profits for all they raise. There is. Therefore,
standing cash reward assured 10 farmers as
an incentive TO industry, making it possible
for them to receive the millions Of money

hay, meats, butter cheese, fruit, potatoes,
onions and forty other articles which grow

and will some day be in position to confine
all these expenditures at home, provided they
do not become crazed upon cotton. 1t is in

FINANCIAL.
The Dallas & Wichita and the Cleburne
railway matters having been settled, and
quite satisfactorily, there is Just at present
nothing in general to talk about in financial
circles. II is hoped the next boom will be
IN the direction Of cotton factory with
10000 spindles.
The money market was fiat. The demand
