p.LLAs, Monday Afternoon,

trade to-day showed tendency TO lapse
into the dullness of week before last put y

didn't rain yesterday; enough merchants
didn't get out to church, and those who oio

There was some excuse, but the nice point Is
to find the right one. We think the dizziness
was wholly on account of there not pe'hg
enough customers in town. You may argue
all day on the line of 'concatenation OF 'or'
tuitous circumst noes" but you Will come
out at that hole at night lack OF customers
Meats-very active and higher. As Tor

rived. and there was not more than enough

morning. 1t was nearly certain that more
liberal amount would be in town tomorrow
Tuesday morning. Advices from western
cepters concur in reporting them firm and
higher, with heavy sales and upward tendency.
The cotton states. like Texas, are making large
drafts upon packers, as is usually the

Hams and Lard--Are steady, unchanged

Flour-Is firm and in active request. The

Corn-Is still running land terrapin race.
II ia slow at "a and sc in store The
stock In store and on track to-day was very
light. 1t Is presumed new Texas corn will
be hard enough TO grind in August, and early
in August. It is all of fifteen days earlier
thru ever known in Texas.
Oats--Are plentiful. Merchants are offer.
ing 20 to % cents for shelled per bushel, and
20 cents per dozen for sheaf. 'Shelled retail
at 25 cents.
Wool-This market is purely nominal. The
last sales we heard of were at 70 cents for the
best. A Dallas dealer now in Boston tele-
graphed his agent this morning to keep out
of the market. This means that efforts con-
t;nue there to depress prices, with the chances
in favor of their going lower. One trouble
is we have foreign woods to compete with,
and It is astonishing how low the "blarsted
British" can sell their things. Meanwhile
Texas and all the Northwest have tacitly
agreed not to part with their spring clip
without fight.
Hides are not so strong to-day. Dealers

Green fruit and vegetables are moderately
active, with values going down. Some ar,
ticles are not fetching more than half wha,
they did week ago. Peaches are more
plentiful and offering freely at 81 per box
Green corn is retailing at 10 cents per dozer
ears? Small vegetables are in abundant sup
ply, and too demoralized to quote with accu
racy, every peddler having his own price,
and bound to sell at something.
Financial Affairs,
There is a brisk demand
for money from all classes
Many planters are asking for advances upol
their growing crops, having been forced t
reach down and pay out the last dollar thei
last wears crop sold for to pay for meat an,
bread. Had they succeeded in making
corn crop last year they would have gon
through this summer with perfect ease. A
It'll there is no especially remarkable trouble
For so remarkable are the resources Of Tex
as, and so short the winters, total failure Q
one particular food crop does not caus
much commotion, and no other inconven
ence than changing the bill of fare from on
article to another.
The banks have plenty Of money to NEE
every legitimate demand upon good paper
and upon all offered are freely lending at tn
rate Of per cent per month. Exchange
