COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS, November 12.-Our remarks yes
terday in regard to the establishment of a
commercial exchange in this city have met
with such favorable comment that we are
constrained to urge again upon the direc-
tors of the Board of Trade, at their meeting
on Monday evening, to take positive steps
to inaugurate it at once. There are quite q
number ofour business men who WILL i'm
mediately upon its organization, place ia
bles in the room and display and sell their
products on change. Agents of several
railroad companies are anxious for its cs-
tablishment, for it will soon be that all
heavy transactions in grain, produce. flour
and other merchandise to be shipped over
the different lines of railroad centering here
will be made there, and in a shorter time
than many now suppose or believe the ex-
change of Dallas will become just what it is
in other cities, an Indispensable convenience
to business men; There seems to be
an apathy on the part of many TO
inaugurate here enterprises of this charac-
ter. which have been so successful in cities
of far less commercial Importance than Dali
las. The officers of our Board of Trade are
among the most intelligent business men OF
our city, and having the fullest faith and
confidence in their ability TO place the Dali
las Exchange on firm and permanent ba-
sis, without inflicting upon its members
any heavy or enormous expense, the bust
ness men of our city expect them TO take
the inatory steps at their next meeting for
its immediate organization, and that 1t may
be opened at the earliest day possible tor
the transaction of business. Should the
Board of Trade be instrumental in giving to
ii al hupUa nndar
such rules and regulations as will place II
on permanent footing, IL will be the most
| important and valuable work they have yet
accomplished for the advancement Of Dallas
and her business interests.
1t seems that neither rain nor mud can
stay the tide Of trade that keeps pouring
| into Dallas. Although our streets and side
walks are muddy and sloppy, wagons fill
the former and the number Of pedestrir-s
are not seemingly diminished on the - er.

\ Is not an unusual thing for our bus J. es
men TO be compelled TO wait for .

road agents are daily urging cOnsigners 20
remove their shipments from the compan-
I les freight houses 10 make room for others
I that are constantly arriving. Business
/ of ali kinds has assumed such immense pro
portions as to astonish the most sanguine,
I and should our wholesale trade increase
as ruuidlv in the future az In the past

a place in the front ranks Of the great in

/ try. This is not idle yapOring but veritable
truth.
