The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1882-02-22
GROCERIES,.

liz the face of the worst roads ever before
experienced in this portion of the state, the
wholesale grocery trade has fully main
tuned its own in regard to the volume Of
business transacted, and gives assurance of
increased operations during the coming sea-
son. The trade of Dallas in this line, as
well as all others, extends in every direction
iorhundreds of miles, and is gradually but
surely increasing its boundaries. Country
merchants are beginning to arrive to make
acquaintances and arrange for the coming
years. A larger part of the trade in this line
now is done on open orders. Prices are well
maintained, and yet our quotations show
this to be probably the lowest market in the
state, taking freights and other advantages
into consideration
Something like one-tenth of the sugar in
the world is produced in Mauritius. Nc
Culoch, in 1858, put down the worlds pro-
duce at | $50, 600 tons. In that year the is
land produced about 126, go tons. In 1862
63 the crop produced 10000 tons, the largest
quantity ever made in Maurtius in single
crop. These figures are independent OF sugar
made from the beet or other sources besides
the cane. The crop during coupe Just over
is ESTIMATED at l25 900 tons.
The coffee plant is productive throughout
the coast of Mexico to an altitude of from
1000 to 1000 feet above the level of the sea.
1t is acclimated at still greater altitude in
some other countries, but requires always n
mean temperature of from 81 to 10 degrees
Fahrenheit.
