The receipts OF grain in this
city were large to-day for corn and oats.
Prices were steady ut former quotations:
In Chicago January wheat opened at
613, and remained steady during the day,
closing at 61k, O half cent below Saturdays
figures.
In general reference to the coming
year's crop, an exchange says it is a little
early to speculate, though all the informa-
ton at hand points to the fact that the. to-
tai area in California set 70 wheat
for next seasons crop will e1ual
g to 80 per cent aH more ebo man three
million and half acres, on which, with the
regular average Of yield, quite large crop
would be raised. Even with dry winter
it is stated, yield of 10 bushels an acre
would produce $1,000 900 bushels, or 81
600, 900 centals, which would leave $50 600 to
70O,O 600 tons for export. The inducement to
the planting of the great breadth Of land
the high prices California farmers have
obtained this fall. Late rains have started
blowing all over the state, and the outlook
is now promising for the largest crop in 1882
ever grown or harvested in California.
January pork in Chicago closed at ITO,
a decline of fifteen cents during the day.
The Cincinnati Price Current of the first

ing a total for this season of l,7OS, 900,
against 2,215 900 last year, during the same
time. From this the Price Current esti-
mates the total packing in the West for N o.
yember as rec, 1000 short of last year, and
that the end of the season will show fall
ing off of 900, 900 from last year.

DALLAS, December Cit is pleasure TO
know that several of our wholesale mer-
chants are already making efforts to secure
the trade opened up TO them along the line
of the Texas & Pacific Road, as far west as
Ell Paso, and probably beyond that point.
The shipments of goods from this city as
far out as Toyah are of daily occurrence,
not only for points on the road,
but fer. military posts and
other smaller towns and communities
miles from tne roau.t ine pcopie III VIC
west of here look TO Dallas for their
knowing it to be the best whole
sailing city in North Texas. Those of our
merchants who at this early day make the
effort to secure the trade, will hold IL for
wears TO come against all competition. As
an evidence OF the Iavor with winch Dallas
is regarded in FL Paso as a mercantile city,
see b BY the c,olPS aiPers H tass she
''Dallas Furniture Store" and a dallas
and she may have other business
with the prefix OF Dallas"
which have not come under our notice. A
proper effort now will bring forever all that
trade 10 this city and all honor is dueto those
whose energy and enterprise are leading
them forward In this direction.
TRADE to-day has been fairly active in all
lines. The large amount Of SUPP lies fur
nishcd the different railroads now building
Is Of themselves enough TO maintain the
present number Of wholesale houses
In Dallas, and If more wholesale establish
ments were opened here there would be
greater demands upon them for goods OF all
kinds. We require more jobbing houses 10 |
accommodate the growing wants Of the
trade, and IL Is 10 be hoped that before
another year rolls around the number Of
our wholesale houses viii be doubled or
trebbleS. BY our quotations Il will be seen |
that freiehts on cotton have declined 70
the Eastern cities, and also 20 New Orleans,
which are now ON q parity with Galveston.
This decline should enable buyers 70 pay
little more for the staple here. Dry goods. |
groceries, hardware. furniture. saddlery |
and drugs are all steady and prices firm. |
The lumber trade remains brisk. and a. yet
no advance has been noted in doors, sash. 1
or white pine, although prices are better IN
