Compared with yesterday trade did mo-
show up well to-day. The order business
was moderate only and spot buyers few anC
far between. 1t is busy times in The
country. The weather being favorable, crops
are being cultivated with the greatest
energy, and grass cut down. 1t
is no time for farmers to loal
around towns and spend money, and more
over they have none to spend There
is plenty of business on hand outside of mer-
camille pursuits. Scarcely respectable
sized farm could be found in our county, or
any other in North Texas, not wanting more
hands to work in the fields. House and rail-
way contractors are in the same condition.
Meats are active and buoyant Sales to-
day we're Mt the advance made yesterday

Flour is very firm and buoyant. A few
carloads of imported fancy have been on the
market during the week and rapidly sold.
Not much was found in town this morning
in other than retail hands. Imported is very
solid at So 25. The City mills are crowded
with orders pressing for immediate attention.
Prices are unchanged.
Sales of corn was confined to few hun
dred bushels Of white and mixed at
IS and "a cents, mostly to
the city. There are not exceeding four car
loads on hand.
General groceries are very quiet. Sugars,
syrups and coffees are buoyant and indicate
higher rates at an early day.
Bagging and ties are arriving.but are not
vet upon the market. 1t Is supposed they
will open at about the rates they closed at in
the spring.
Green fruit was more abundant this morn
ing, but dealers was not disposed to lower
their prices. Twenty-Five cents per dozen
for q poor quality of peaches is still de-
manded but not very freely paid. None
other than sckly little dwarf apples are
offering. Strawberries have gone out. A
few stands still have blackberries.
New potatoes of native growth are plenti-
full, and freely offering at SOC per bushel. No
new sweet potatoes for several weeks yet.
Green corn, squashes, cucumbers and cab
bages are in full supply and cheaper
Watermelons and cantalupes of Dallas
county growth appeared upon the market
this morning. The former were held at Zoe,
25c and SOC, and the latter at l2l to l5c.
There is no lack of vegetables this year,
and of very superior quality. There are
enough for all and some to spare, but we
have not as yet gotten into the habit of ship
ping them.
