The Now Orleans Times says a circular
has been distributed in Mississippi, and
doubtless in other cotton states, among the
planters, advising them TO hold their cotton
| back for high prices consequent upon the
! supposed shortDess of the present crop.
| This circular appears to have been issued
| by New York parties and is literally sent
out through the country, as is learned by
Vicksburg papers. OF course such docu-
ment il not gotten up in the interest of the
cotton growers, but of the spectators who
have been "cornering'' the cotton and
"bulling" the market on both sides of the
sea lately. Should cotton be sent to mar
ket rom the plantations freely it would
break down the corner, hence the Issuance
Of ms circular.
DAlIts, November 5-Ths outlook for
neav Wholesale trade during the winter is
letter neg than any time during the sea-
son. OurSnHsrchants state that they have
many customers who will want supplies reg
ularly, and that sonse OF them are among
the heaviest dealers In psrrssnding and
more distant towns. Although the crops Of
this section Of the stnte have kSap greatly
damaged by the drouth on tho whsle our
farmers and planters have had prosperous
wear. and their conditions far bstter than t.
was one year ago. There is great change
in the situation Of our granger" element
nov from what it was ten years ago,

Thea they lived in small cabins, without
shelter for their stock and many Of them
with few of the home comforts which make
lifs pleasant. Now they have vest fields
under cultivation, rome posses. elegant
residences, and all have comfortable homes,
surrsundod BY stock Of al kinds and all the
emit farm -life As they have increased in
wealth and prosperity their wants have en-
hancsl In . corresponding ratio and they
provide themselves with many comforts
they formerly could not afford to enjoy.
And 70 supply these wants our merchants
enlarged and to-day the pleasant towns and
villages surrounding Dallas can
boast Of mercantile establishments
on uel to any others in the country, and with
a rev exceptions ere not surpassed by this
city itself. All these merchants surround
ing are learning by experience that they
can save money by coming ,S. 70 Lsl l, to
Der now go beyond hare for their supplies
Hence the Wholesale trade of this city is
steadily sdvaacinG and all that is now re-
auirsd BY our dealers II to solicit trade az
do other commercial cities, and 1t will
hasten the destiny which awsits. Dallas, and

years 70 on.
Pricss in ssneral merchandise have not
m stsrially changed during the week. There
has been . slight decline In oofsos, hour
and meals, but generally tho narkst has
been Arm. Some articles in tho hardware
line have IN upward tendency, but as yet
dealers have not advanced quotations.
There has also bsen deduction in few
articles of drugs, which viii be noticed in
our regular reports. Dry. goods have I'M
dergone no change, Notwithstanding prices

1t Is now said the sugar crop OF Louisiana
and Texas will be much larger than antici-
pated few weeks ago. The cool weather
of the last ten days has had . be1sticial eff
feet in ripeninc the cane, and "
be large. The Hst~0ian >cfop of sugar is
estimated by gss1 judges in San Francisco
at 43, 74s toas Or ~ 10000 pounds. OF this,
abou 100000 POUNDS has already been
rnceiyr3 in thst city, and there are some
who think that We will obtain 100000
t. 1900 eco pounds more during the next
Two and half months. Something like
one tenth of the sugar in the world is pro-
duced in Nautilus. McCulloch, in 1883,
put down tho worlds produce at 10000
tons. In that year the island produced about
126, $50 tons. In 1903 the crop produced
1865 600 tons, the largest quantity eyer made
in Mauritius in single crop( The steaiHcN
Nslsbar arrived at New York Gam--1i-g
Philippine Islands, with "a cargo of 1928
tons of sugar. This is said to be the first
steamer that has ever ONE from the Phil
ippine Islands to the United States, and she
brings what is believed to be the largest
cargo of sugar ever imported into the United.
States from any country. 1t is estimated
now that the total importations OF sugar for
the years 1882 will be not less than 10000
tons.
The loss 10 the country from the partial
failure of the leading crops.this year IS estl-
mated by some as high as sOO,OOvOo,
which is equivalent 10 loss of more than

The extent and proftableness OF the CaliS~
fornis fruit trade are indicated by the state
ment that Mr.. Briggs, a fruit-grower IN
Sacramento county, will this season pack
go 200 boxes Of raisins, which will sell ior
at least 81 per box Mt the vineyard, making
$500, 600 for the whole. Besides this he has
already sold $40 600 Forth OF grapes al 80
per ton. One fruit-A ,wsr near Sacramento

over 81 600.
The Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, to.
bscco crop is reported TO be only one-third
Of an average, entailing loss TO the county
Of over 81 900 600. In neighboring counties
the loss will be as much more.
Shad are getting 10 b. quite common IN
the San Francisco markets. They can be
caught every month in the year in Caliior-
