DALLAS EXCHANGE AND COIN.
COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS, December 22.-The retail bust
mesa of the city is extending its limits, not
only eastward.but in northern and south
ern direction from Main and Elm streets
1t is well known that the city of Dallas
proper is clrcumscrbed by boundaries
which exclude fully one-third of our popu-
lation from being enumerated as citizens,
and after crossing the limits Of
the city east on Elm street
there is continuation of business
houses extending almost to the Fair
part Of Dallas, although not within the
legal boundaries of the corporation But
we intended 10 speak of the retail trade of
what is known as East Dallas. There is
probably no part of Dallas that
is increasing as rapidly in popu-
lation as that portion of our
city, and as conse iuence the retail trade
is growing with its growth and assuming n
business Importance that in short time
may surpass in volume even our present
most favored retail districts or localities
The stocks there in some lines are rs large
as are those in more pretentious localities
and they cover every branch of business
whether of dry goods, groceries, hardware
drugs, saddlery, or furniture, and in addi-
ton the Stock-yards are erected
there, which are always an auxiliary to re-
tail trade 1t is pleasure to note that al
of them who are engaged in business pur
suits in that portion of our city speak ct an
increasing trade, and that they are pros
porous in all the essentials which ultimately
lead to wealth.
THE wholesale business ofour city has no
fallen of in the least even at season wheI
other localities speak of decline in trade
1t would seem that Dallas is not affected by
seasons or weather in her jobbing trade, but
come rain or snow or drouth there is con.
tinaed demand for goods from The
surrounding country, so rapidly
filling up with immigrants, that our bust
ness men do not experience any Elimination
in their sales, and they know no beginning
or ending to business periods, as in many
other wholesale cities. Prices in all staple
articles are steady and firm, and the re.
ports, which are corrected daily, will indi
cate the state OF the market In all lines o
goods.
The Department of State, says Wash
ington correspondent, is in receipt of com
munication from Consul Roosevelt at Dor
deaux, relative to the exhibition of agricul
tural produce, to be held at bordeaux from
June to November Is. This exhibition
will be Of especial interest to Amaricai
wine-growers and distillcrs, as from the
ravages ofphylloxera In the most produc
tive.wine districts Of Europe there are stronI
probabilit ies'0 or An important market beinl
created fq- American wines and spirits
