element in our foreign export trade, leading
all other animal products in value by over
S30,0O,000. The value Of the hog products
for the commercial year 1881 is placed at

The production of oysters has more than
doubled in quantity in and about New
York harbor, Staten Island, and Perth
Amboyc during the past five years; Car
loads oloysters are shipped to California
from New York every few days. The
native" oyster of that western coast is OBJ
tanned in the Gulf Of California, and is
small and of copper taste. There is as wide
contrast between the California biyalve
and the Eastern as between acrab-apple and
and Rode Island greening. Something
OF supply is being obtained on the Oregon
or Washington territory coast. These are
better than the more southern.

Bituminous coal, said to equal the best
Cumberland has been discovered in III Paso
county. Reports from the new coal mines
- miles above Laredo on the Rio Grande
represent that the Texas Mexican Road has
made contract to have coal put upon the
surface at $l.25 per ton. 1t is thought
that coal can soon be delivered at any point
IN Texas along the railway, ut from $500 to
S. 90 per ton.
The supply of buffalo COW and antelope
bones in Taylor and ADJ ''hihs counties
seems to be ineXhaustibe. The ,'mpments
from Abilene alone are enormous, one
dealer in. less than three months shipping
over one thousand tons The bone trade of
that place is considerable in its aggregate
business, being eagerly sought after by
bone dealers and find ready sale at from
$40 to Sll per ton.
Last year the German wire mills supplied
England with 10000 tons of wire, and Rus
sin with 10000 tons. France received from
Germany from 1000 to 10000 tons of steel
wire for sofa springs, and America not less
than 30 600 from the same source.
In 1875, 10000 tons OF iron supplied the
annual demand for iron in and about Chi
cago at the present time the annual con-
sumption amounts to 100000 tons, an in
crease of 72O, 600 tons in six years,
COTTON.
The receipts are not as large as they
should be, taking the condition of the
roads into consideration. Saturday
is always dull day in the cotton line and
probably there should not be expected
larger arrivals at this season Of the year
About three hundred bales are entered at
the elevators, nearly onc-third of which
were stored awaiting higher prices. There
have been some comments on thc.light re-
ceipts of cotton in this city, but il should
be borne in mind that other points are now
taking cotton which in past years has come
to Dallas. While our receipts up 70 date
amount to over 10000 bales, Waxahachic,
which, two years ago, was not cotton
market, has already received over l4,OOO
bales, Other points near here have also in
creased their business in the staple, and
Mckinney claims to have bought nearly
SIX thousand bales This will in measure
account for the light offerings in Dallas. We

THE CROP OF 1881
We are indebted to Latham, Alexander
Il Co. for their compilation of reports of the
probable yield OF the cotton crop OF lSSl-2.
In this connection we take pleasure in again
referring to this firm as being one of the
most reliable, as well as one of the most re-
sponsible banking institutions in the coun-
try; as cotton commission merchants of in
