yember 1t is understood that dealers in hay
will ask that this product shall be put up on call
as is the case with grain and cotton This is
subject that will have to be acted upon by the
board of directors
COTTON.
There was very little done in cotton to-day,
although It was called as usual. Dealers are
very careful in regard to their transactions in
this staple. and although there seems ms
cline, no one seems willing to back his judg-
ment on the future market. September cotton
was offered at 10 GO. without takers
and planters that they are requested, when IN
this city, to visit the rooms of the Exchange.
The grain reports in st. Louis to-day were as
follows, as reported on the Merchants Exchange
in this city to-day: September wheat 9l2S: Oc-
tober wheat 9l1l. Corn for September, 81 BID;

| GRAIN AND BREADsTUFFs.
The flour manufactured by the mills In north
Texas this season has preference over any
brought from Kansas Missouri or California.
The. wheat grown in Texas this season has been
of an excellent quality, and the -four manufac-
est s drGm mas will will be seen
by quotations that prices are below those of
former years. There were fair arrivals OF oats
and wheat by wagon day, and the shipments
were about as usual. Several cars were sent TO
Louisiana over the Texas & Pacific road, and
one or two forwarded TO the western dis
ricts The prices are urn IN hs c sSte sn S he
