cultivate the gifts that nature has
bestowed upon you. If you haye

to sing some choice s1ngs and to

about twelve cars and the shipments some ff-
teen cars There were liberal arrivals of wheat

PROVISIONS.

PROVISIONS continue very active In this city,
and the shipments are unprecedentedly largo
for this season of the year. The high prices Of
beef cattle contribute greatly to the sales of the
hog products everywhere and their influences
are felt even here in the great cattle state of the
Union There Is probably as much or more
meats and lard sold In this city than In any other
three or four Of the largest cities In north Texas
and the demand here is gradually growing.
Prices In Dallas are always maintained.on a
parity with those in packing centres, and buy
ers are protected in supplying their wants here
