increased about $13, 200 900 since the LIST of
March, or at the average rate of about 81
900, 900 per month, or about 100000 less
than the average monthly coinage, showing
that not far from $4,000, 600 have gone into
circulation during the seven months. The
amount of silver certificates out
standing on the LIST was 1854, 1890,
or about $6,5OO,OOO more than on
the LIST of September, and $16,20O,-

It is with feelings Of pride we speak Of the
continued business prosperity OF Dai'ns'
Day after day we note the activity oil TRADE
in our city, and while other cities in the
country speak of dull days and trade light
we in truth can only say that our business
is extending, and that each day shows an
addition to our trade over the day preceding
it. We do not speak particularly. OF the
retail business, but more directly refer TO
the jobbing trade. Our wholesale mer'
chants tn emselves are equally surprised at
the increase of their orders from the coun-
try, and without an exception they assert
that their trade is unprecedented and iar
beyond their expectations. We have no
change to note in prices, While other
wholesaling points are advancing their
prices to meet the advance of manufactures
our dealers keep their goods marked
down to correspond with the cost OF goods
several months ago. Dallas is the lowest
wholesale market in the country to-day.

RECENT decision of the United States
supreme court declares in substance that
no state has right to impose what is known
as tax on "drummers." The court holds
that such tax is an infringement of the
power vested in congress to regulate COM
MERGE among the states; and that here a
power is vested exclusively in the federal
government, and its exercise is essential
to perfect freedom of commercial inter-
course between the citizens of the several
states, any interfering action of the states
must give way. This is the first decision
by the supreme court Of this question,
though in number Of state courts similar
questions nave been decided in similar
manner.
