DALLAS, Monday Afternoon, !

june III, 1850
The leading feature of the day was the APP
pearance of new -four, from Texas wheat, on
the market. The City Mills have at last got
enough stock of wheat and are now under
full Roadway. They have a joint capacity of
300 barrels per day when running upon full
time, and will, if nothing happens, throw
that amount upon the markets of Texas
from this time until spring if they
can keep supply of wheat on
hand. The market opened this morning Mt
SO per hundred for the best grade and $3.50
for the lowest. The demand is active, buy
ers freely taking stock Of the to us, novelty,
for we have been eating Of Missouri and
Kansas for several months exclusively. AS
nobody Is hurt or will be, we congratulate
everybody upon the resumption of eating
our own Bread and thus keeping the money
going round and round at home.
There is no great amount of imported
-four in town, not ten cent that the trade
is calling for, and hence fresh shipments have
been ordered of standard established brands,
"whose lights" their agents say, "w!ll not be
snuffed out all of sudden" Revolutions,
even in kitchens, arc slow in their formation,
and even cooks will not fly to new religion
upon one sermon.
New wheat came in quite freely to-day,
and the receipts will rapidly increase from
day to day. We quote from sales as follows:
Rejected, 65: No. 8, Toe; No. 2, Soc. Good
old wheat brings 80 cents,
Oats are in liberal supply and easy at %
cents in bulk. The receipts to-day were
moderately heavy.
Corn was active. Fresh shipments of
white and mixed luckily came down this
morning, and the latter was freely purchased.
There will DO plenty on hand to supply the
trade during the week. 1t dances to the old
tune, IS and 5Sc. per bushel.
Corn meal is also in bet or supply, active
and firm at $l.40.
Meats are very firm and scarce.
1t took spot gold on the counter
to-day to shade 5S for clear bacon sides. s
Dry salts and hams are also in limited sup
ply and firm. The tendency upon meats is 4
upward. 1t takes enormous quantities to
supply the Texas plantations, and the de- I
mand will continue heavy for many weeks
TO come
General groceries were quiet, especially
for shelf goods. Though molasses, sugar
and syrups were in moderate request COT
fee is quiet and unsettled in price, still pre- e
senting downward look.
The wool market had the qutetness of Q
;tagnstion. We heard of no sales, and quote
he best at 20 cents. The
St. Louis market stood rs follows
last Saturday: inactive; prices steady on
better grades, but weak otherwise; oit5rirgs c
ight-receipts small, and most of supply
neld off market. Tub--Choice 44(l45c, No s

Country produce was moderately active.
'utter and eggs are dead scarce, with dealers a
upremely Indifferent about getting stock. .
We quote choice table butter % cents from
ounter and eggs 20 cents.
Another shipment of ripe peaches came in i,
rom Denison. They dropped another so h
ents and were sold out at $3.50 per box of
of busheI. They are small and defective
4 quality and can only be called peaches in
lead of plums by the smell. But they are b'
IL right, however, when turned into u cobler
nd doused with rich cream.
