DALLAS, December 23.-rhe completion
of the Chicago, Texas & Mexican Central
road to Alvarado to-day opens up another
avenue of trade to Dallas. At Alvarado
this road connects with the Missouri Pacific,
which is now completed to Waco, and all
that section of country lying south, as far
as we have named, can be made tributary
to this city, If our merchants and business
men so will it. We understand the road
from here will not be open for passenger
business until II is completed TO Clcburne,
which will be in u few, very few, days from
this time, but they will carry freights for
dealers as an accommodation on their con-
struction trans II Is to be hoped our
merchants will not delay sending cut their
representatives, for the first blow is ever
half of the battle, and il the tide of trade
il once turned in this direction
IL will forever after come here. In this con-
nection Il might he pertinent to say that a
gentlemen just in from III Paso, and who
stepped of ut every town along the line of
the Texas & Pacific road, states that in
nearly every place he visited he met with
travelling statesmen, from st. Louis, Gal
weston, and even New Orleans and Chicago,
but only occasionally did he find one from
Dallas. He says in the face of this fact,
by far the larger portion of the trade comes
that with the desire the people out West
manifest to transact all their business here,
Us fur as Is in their power TO do So that our
wholesale merchants are behind in their
efforts In that direction TO secure the
benefits eagerly protlered them.
There has been an activity to-day IN re-
tail circles never before witnessed In Dallas
aud dealers In fancy goods suitable for holi
day gifts have been engaged from early
morning until long amer nghthll Their,
has also been corresponding activity In
the wholesale trade aud shipments TO tht
country have been larger than Usual. prin
cipally upon orders by mail. In few
words-business has been buoyant In all
lines and never before at this season uf ia,
year has there betn as many costly fancy
goods purchased, or a heavier trade In 4
wholesale way than has been experienced
to-day In this city.

to the scarcity of treight-room in conse-

We had the pleasure of meeting Judge
Abncy to-day, who has come to Dallas for
the purpose OF occupying the pulpit in the
Christian church, He has formerly resided
in Taylor, Williamson county, and has
been engaged in raising cotton. He
informs us that the Crsp in that belt of the
State has been nearly equal to the yield of
last year, and that the second or top crop
of cotton has turned out well and better
than he ever witnessed before. lie thinks
