DALLAS, Saturday Afternoon,

boards. The wholesale merchants have NJ
reason to complain, and the store and shop
keepers were busy selling and delivering good
to their customers, generally in the city. Tit
business for the week ending this Afternoon
has been satisfactory, considering it was
"between season" time, The margins upor
leading lines are quite close, and
takes many sales every day 10
clear expenses. Trade is gradually
improving. There are tangible evidences
that we have passed about the dullest days
of the summer. The sales of wheat, WOOL
hides, oats, hay and green vegetables arc
making money matters more easy than last
year, when we had no money and nothing to
sell TO bring it.

to-day were quite out of stock in the fore
noon. Large shipments will certainly be in
town tonight or tomorrow night Thesales
to-day were at yesterdays quotations, 81 for
smoked clear sides, but the dealers inform us
they will advance the price Monday morning
to cents for clear sides, and other cuts in
proportion. Dispatches from Kansas City
report that market higher and extraordinarily
active. Purchase made there to-day will
cost nearly 81 laid down in Dallas.
