DALLAS. Tuesday Afternoon,


The course OF trade for the week ending
Saturday was steadily onward. Monday, the
9th came the Fourth Of July, with its Chi
nese firecrackers and German beer, and
French wine and Denison cannon, the gori-
Gus day winding up with glorious rain last
night and this morning. or course while all
this was going on trade gracefully went to the
rear, But This afternoon things look little
brighter; orders to-day were more liberal,
and we almost know Tomorrow will be
good day for business, weather permitting
During the days we have been doing business
we did n good deal OF IL. We have several
more weeks ahead TO rub along as best we can
before the TALL boom begins. The fall trade
will open early in August, and become gem
eral before the close of that month.
Meats have ruled very active aud very firm
throughout Beginning at 0 l-ic for short
clear bacon sides, they have 80 continued and
so close to night, with stock on hand rather
limited, and adyices from Kansas to the Of.
feet that new orders cannot be filed just at
present. IL IL supposed, however, that those
packerles will have plenty out OF salt and out
OF smoke In few days. The demand for dry
salt Is far heavier than usual this summer.
1t keeps very well, and direct consumers take
IL as IL Is cheaper than smoked Some farm
era have Industry enough to hang 1t w and
smoke 1t.
Hams 1rm and have been 10 good demand
for the guaranteed sugar cured Lard is In
moderate request, and like everything else In
the hog product line exhibits no sign Ofweak-
ening IT looks very like We Will get none of
II any cheaper than we are doing now. Texas
proposes 10 have Its own meat after this year,
however.
There has been an extraordinary demand
for tiour, which, In the higher grades oil Inn
ported fancy, has not been met. A supply
was promised by to-day, but II is not In
town-scarcely q sack OF IL at Wholesale
Dealers have been making their best efforts,
they say, TO get shipments, but have failed to
get enough. A few carloads have been re-
Gelved during the week, but 1t was generally
ell sold before reaching the depot. The Uity
Mills have been doing all thsy ceuld and have
pretty well filled orders for the second and
ehlrd grades, but they have not been able to
get hold of quality OF wheat to manufacture
u strictly fancy flour, 1t 10 reported this
morning that the city Mills have Commenced
cutting rates, butwe learned nothing Officially
about its truth and continue the quotations
below, viz 20 356Is 90 per lO0 imported

Wheat has been in active demand with re-
Gelpts insufficient 10 meet 1t. Prices of the

Wallace's Investigation.

New YORK, July 16.-Before the Wallace
Senatorial committee to-day, John j. Dayen-
port, supervisor of elections, continued his
testimony in regard to the manner in which
Judge McCunn conducted the naturalization
business. Proceedings were conducted in
an irregular manner and a kind of mock
court held. Witness gave the names of men
who had been naturalized before be-
ing in the country six weeks.
Witness said the number of persons
who registered on fraudulent certificates in
1876 was 10000, and in 1873 it was reduced
to 1920. Of these only about 200 voted
and he would have prevented them if he
could. He denied conducting the affairs of
his Office in any partisan manner, and in
fact he had been accused by Republicans of
favoritism. Davenport mentioned the name
of Patrick Goff, whom he said had appeared
as witness for persons desiring to be nat
uralized in 1,069 cases. Certificates were
sold in blank to applicants for naturaliza-
tion, and they were charged from fifty
cents to two dollars. Four hundred
of these papers were taken in one day by
Golf to Kings county. Many of the blanks
were also taken to river counties for sale,
anu III ohIntoSd COUNTY lour uuuureu were
offered for sale. Davenport then continued
and read from number of records of the
supreme and superior courts to show the
certificates issued exceed the number of per-
sons who actually applied for naturalization
papers, and also to show that large number
of names from books of the court were fic-
titious, and that the addresses given had no
existence, and frequently represented vacant
lots and stone wards

COLORING SUGAR.

Systematic Fraud Employed In the West
Indies In the Preparation of Sugar for
Export to the United States.
WASHINGTON, July 1G.-The committee
appointed by the secretary of the treasury to
visit the sugar plantations of the West
Indies and investigate the processes in use
among the planters, with view to determin-
ing the truth or falsity of the prevailing re-
ports, that artificial means were being used
to degrade the color of sugars intended for
export to the United States, has made re-
port. It shows that the frauds which have
been attempted in the introduction of sugars
into this country are even greater
than had been generally supposed; that in
Demarara, among sugar planters, no secret
whatever was made of the practice of artif-
cial coloring of sugars intended for theUnited
States market; that sugars testing IS
to 16 Dutch standard, which were exported
to Great Britain nearly white, were, when ex-
ported to this country, artifoially eolored to
grade apparently below No. D. s., and that
such sugars which, from their color would
be expected to test IS degrees of saccharine
strength were found when submitted to the
Polariscope to contain 81 degrees of pure
sugar.

OHAsTINE COX.


New YORK, July 16.-Chastine Cox, con-
victed of the murder of Mrs. Hull, was
hanged in the jail-yard of the tombs in the
presence of about 200 persons. At S:35 the
moose around the neck of Cox was attached
to the pendant rope and ne was at once
jerked into the air. After hanging sixteen
minutes Cox was pronounced dead. Cox
was attended to the scafold by five colored
and one white clergyman. Cox was cool
and collected. He Joined earnestly il the
devotions in his cell, and on the way to the
gallows sang hymn in an undertone. While
under the moose Chaplain Law prayed for
some time fervently, Cox moving his lips
about in prayer. He made no audible re-
marks on the scaffold. When ierked into
the air there was no rebound. His muscles
twitched slightly, his hands were convuIsive-
ly raised and the body swung gently. Nine
minutes afterward his chest heaved once or
