In breadslufs and provisions trade was
trae slow to-day. No logical reason wa
given for the dizziness, and the suggestion
that hobeautIful shower ofraln which fell las
night was tho causes was totally dIsalowod
That rain invigorated gardens laid tho dust
and was received M godsend generally
Cotton did not improve In tone no
change in price ono way or another TIT
position NJ New York and Liverpool wa
about, upon tho whole, M yesterday. Gam
blers had their usual lluctuatlng luck, bu
cotton was selling NJ former prices. Bu
little was offered on the Dallas market, ant
ia cents paid for middling.
Corn Is lrm, yet not In quito 30 active do
mand M yesterday.
Meats were slow but not nj nll lacking IN
confidence.
Wheat IL strong NJ tho quotations, the
western markets having taken jump. Flour
has had no Impression made upon II by thi'
advance,
In country produce the same old rata.plan
Chickens are squalling for S3 per DOZEN
with few takers. Eggs are dropping into
their funeral pans At bit for twelve or ia
cents dozen.
OPENING OF THE SPRING DRY
GOODS TRADE.
Our wholesale dry-goods houses are nov
in almost full stock and ready for the spring
dry.goods trade. They, anticipating n heavy
demand, have purchased moro than usual,
and will stand ready to repl0nish any article
running short.
Below will be found the quotations as
they actually are to-day. They were fur.
nished by Mr.. Rosenthal, one Of the head
saiesmen in the house of Sanger Brothers,
and are in accord with prices asked custo-
mers
In comparing these figures with dry goods
circulars issued recently by some Of the
great houses in New York, we have found
little difference between them, and some quo
tations actually lower here than there,
Sprngues prints, for instance, are
placed in New York Mt cents
while 10 Dallas they sell for r. In New
York some things are cheaper five do not
count the freight, but II we do, nothing what
soever can be bought there for one grote less
than in Dallas, There is nothing remarka-
able about this when the facts are considered {:
Dallas house in the habit of buying two or
three hundred thousand dollars worth of
goods per annum or more than half the
houses In New York pretending TO do great
things, can and docs purchase from manutac-
turers Just as choap MS they do.
Well, these are facts worthy
The consideration of country mer-
chants, and they can satisfy
themselves that they are facts by consulting
tho statistics of both markets.
The dry goods quotations will in future be
carefully revised daily.
