DALLAS EXCHANGE AND COIN.
COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS December 1T is wonder to
many how the great number of new retail
establishments recently opened in our city
find customers to sustain them. 1t would
astonish the leading and some of our older
citizens to know the great increase in our
population, both in city and county in the
last few months. We do not believe we
are out OF the realm of facts, when we say
that Dallas to-day contains twenty-five per
cent. more population than she did six
months ago, and, while the increase
has not been of so great ratio in the
country, IL has been beyond precedent in all
former years, Every retail merchant of
long standing in this city will tell you that
his business is now larger than il was one
or two years ago, and all those who have
recently engaged i'll trade here express
themselves satisfied with their business.
Our city is rapidly and permanently in.
creasing in population, and us a consequence
more facilities must be offered the public in
the way of retail houses.

The cotton market all Overthis country, as
well as in Europe, indicates downward
tendency. And while we know that no
paper can control prices, we recognize it as
the province of all journals to give facts as
they may present themselves. The HER
AID has endeavored to do this, and it il
gratifying to know that its statements of
the market have been correct, although it
could have wished the results had been
different. There are few who
find fault with the HERALD's quotations,
as well as its published views of the
market, but 50 far, all our readers will bear
us out in stating that we published bare
facts, which nave been verified to the full.
est, The HERALD believes the crop of 1SS1-2
VIII be below an average, and that prices
may go up after the new year, but il has
asserted that there could be no material adj
vance until after the receipts began to fall
of at the ports. The weather so
far has been favorable for pick
ing and marketing the crop, and
II may be that the receipts after the first of
January will he below that Of any previous
year, but that the price of the staple will
ever 60 to the eXhorbtant figures many of
TIL" bulls" anticipate we donot believe. We
think there will be IN advance after the
holidays, but 1t will not he enough TO lust
ify planters in holding over, or, spectators
buying futures with the expectation of
making millions out of their Investments.
1t may be interesting to our readers to
know the receipts At all the ports from the
LIST of September to December Sd, which are
as follows.

Bethenler's Gold.

A few days ago a rare FIVE dollar
gold coin was handed US BY l. Breezeale,
oil Calera. for our inspection. Said
coin was about the size of silver quar-
ter, shade thicker, the color Of old
gold.' and was inscribed as follows:
On one sids-'Carollna gold. August
lst, 1884. I40c. 20 carats.' On the
other slde-'C. Beltcher. At Rutherf.'
5 dollars The history Of this coin as
We learned 1t from Mr.. B., is about
this: A gentleman by the name Of
Beltcher owned and worked gold
mine in North Carolina about the date
shown on said coin. At this time
transportation facilities were not so
good as they have become since, and
the means of communication were much
more limited. On this account Betch-
Ter found some difficulty in getting his
gold dust to market and to the mints,
and he formed the idea Of coming it
himself. Not wishing to infringe upon
the Government or to be considered
countertsiler, be ascertained the exact
amount OF gold contained the different
varieties of gold ceins coined by the
Government, made hI own dies and
coined bis gold dust 10 his own name.
stampi ng his own name and the value
upon each as shown above. This WAS
known throughout North Carolina as
Betshler's gold and passed among the
people Of that State and elsewhere,
where the facts were known, as readily
as the gold coins that bore the stamp OF
the Government mints. The 6ye.dollar
coin we saw, and which Mr.. B. has in
his possession, is a beautiful one and is
well worthy Of place in the cabinet oil
a numismatolegIst.
