COM MERCIAL.
DALLAS, WEDNESDAY, EysHIso.


There was every prospect this morning Of
realization OF our prayers for some time back,
that q gully-whashlng rain would descend,
but alas, II came not. Up to This writing
the skies are darker, n few drops fell Just be-
fore noon-a slight sun shower-but rain
that would do some good to parched vegeta-
ton Is still lacking. Besides the very direct
serious advantage to the farmers caused by
this drouth, It affects trade in many ways. A
dealer In hay, corn and oats said to. day that
IL we did not. get rain within aweek prices In
his line would go way up. General Jobbing
trade was very good to-day In groceries q
large order trade was done, and In dry goods
and other llnes fair days business was also
realized.
The markets are sluggish In all lines
except dty salt meats, which continue up
wajd. There was nothing doing much at the
stockyards, and the quotation, for live stock
remain unchanged. Produce Is dull, and SO
little ia ooing outside Of what may be termed
the regular rut that any remarks would be SD
perflu0us.
