DALLAS, December 5.-The completion
Of the Gulf, Santa Fe & Colorado road TO Fort
Worth is an important feature in the whole
sale interests OF Dallas. 1t will prove a
feeder to the Texas & Pacific, as well as
an auxiliary to augment the trade of this
city. All that is now wanted is that our
Wholesale dealers should avail themselves
Of the advantages which this out
let gives them to increase their
trade and business. The only for
midablo composition Dallas will have
as far south us Waco is Galveston, and witt
the superior advantages this city offers,
there IL no reason why the great bulk of the
trade on that road should not be directed TO
Dallas. ltwould indeed be strange if our
merchants, who have heretofore been ready
TO grasp every advantage thus thrown out
TO them, should not send at once their tray
cling statesmen on this road and secure the
ben eiits that are sure to inure to them. The
fruit hangs ripening ready to fall into their
lips, and what is necessary on their part is
To-, gather the proaered harvest that is
offered them Galveston, Houston and
other towns of far less advantages than we
can offer are already making efforts
TO secure a trade that legitimately
belongs to Dallas, and ali that &
required to make the completion of
this road an auxiliary to our trade
and prosperity is an active effort on the
part oil our business men. Not only our
own people, but the citizens of the towns
along the Gulf, Colorado e Santa Fe Road
Will deem 1t strange if the merchants of
Dallas do not avail themselves of the pres.
ent opportunity offered and secure the
great bulk of the trade on that as well as
every other new road that is opened
ana which are to make our city tho
great ana most important com.

city is to be benefited more than any other
by every road that passes through Fort
