The recent rain which foil here was general
in North Texas, and tho extraordinary
amount which fell added TO that preylo sly
received during tho winter gives assurance
that the crop viii not suffer for want Of mois'
turo. Our soil being ofa fpongy character
holds water many months after It Is received,
Wheat noyor looked better on tho lst Of
March than II does now, And so soon M the
weather turns warm, which will be Ina day
or 80, all manner Of Vegetation and seeds will
put forth.
Tho day was cloudy and gloomy
enough, though the public thoroughlarcs and
streoia arc In much better condition than
could have been expected, The ruin bent
them hard.
There was a good order trade but no stran-
gers wore IN town from tho immediate coun-
Try. The general grocery trade received ih
usual attention for Monday with prices cstab-
lishod last week holding good during the day,
Coffee Is firm. Sugar llrm Canned goods
rather slow. Meats were quiet, with the sup
My moro than the demand, Holders aro con-
idont of higher rates when the weather grows
hot. In patent brands OF special articles tho
old rates are standing.
Corn had m active demand, Last weeks
prices were asked, but many dealers thought
they would be justified In asking y slight nd
vance. Th0y did not however, There Is II
fair stocI, In the city, with liberal receipts 10.
Gay. Oats aro dull and neglected, except
f6f feed. Bran active and lnn. Hay ~
edsy. Flour is in slightly improved demand,
and retail men uslng live 10 ten cents per
hundred advance, but ut wholesale 1t Is I'M
changed.
Hides ARE llrmor, Saturdays dispatches
having given a rally of one'half cent in Now
York Texas buyers arc more confident and
freely pay the quotations below which they
refuse TO revise. They are not anticipating
another decline soon.
In country produce there Is little doing
Chickens have declined TO - 10 per dozen,
Eggs are in abundance at 10 cents by the
lot and l2I ut retail, Wild game has played
out whilst fish and oysters Gin very limited
supply. Apples are scarce and advanced to
SO 80 for sound, large article.
In tropical fruits several respectable lots
Of oranges were Offering, with lemons and
bananas in very limited stock
Dry Goods.
The date above reminds US that winter
has gone and spring has arrived, according
10 the almanac. Our mercantile establish
ments are making large and liberal displays
of prints of every shade and color the light
being the more prominent. There arc many
new patterns of cacOes and muslns and de-
LANES, perhaps twenty different stripes, dots
and figures never before seen in this market,
all looking fresh ms spring daisies. They
arc slowly moving of at wholesale. City
shopping has not fairly commenced yet, and
will not until the pr sent abominable spell
OF weather breaks.
Financial Annirs.
There is not very heavy de-
mand for money upon good
paper, upon real estate, or any
thing else. The banks are free lenders upon
round colaterals, but are chary of anything
offering which can be covered by our india
rubber homestead and presumption laws.
These laws cover multitude of property,
sometimes more numerous than anyone can
Number. The Sunday paper exhibited ex-
traordinary activity in real estate sales, and
that some species Of property had nearly
doubled in value since last summer. The
boom in this diercton goes ahead with una
bated zeal, with prophets plentiful who de-
clare that Dallas property is yet in territorial
cheapness. Ten years ago the block where
Sanger's store now stands, the Pacific depot
and tho compress lot was offered at S200and
refused. The ground istnow worth more
than that per foot, exclusive Of improve
aasnt.
