GROCERIES.

THE grocery trade of Dallas Is all that could
be asked or expected The iobbing houses are
doing II most excellent spring business, and are
filling orders in field, never before reached by
them Onr railroads, extending in all dircC.
tions from the city, give facilities unsurpassed
by those OF any city, and, as our merchants
carry the heaviest stocks in all these regions by
many fold, they are able to ell ON better terms
aud are better able to supply all wants.
These facts being patent II is no wonder that the
grocery trade Of Dallas Is on the increase. The
spring trade to date is heavier than for
amy preceding year, and heavy post
harvest trade is anticipated.
II Is now but n month or two TIL they will be-
gin shipping teas from China and Japan all over
the world. THE cGrg0cs," says the San Fran
cisco journal of Commerce, will begin to arrive
here month or two later II has been rumored
of some time pnst that the Central Pacific would
put on several additional steamers so as 10 com.
pete with the SucZ canal route. If this be so, we
VIII have scene of busy activity VI the Oakland
wharVeS and on the line of railIosd, for ii may
beaSSumcd that they will get at least their share
Of that freight Our statistics of distribution for
the past four yearsgivc the following data:
Pounds Pounds
1881 ............b,l III 100 1879 ......3 SO COG
1850 .,.,....,.,., S0sj 07s 1878. ...... $780, 2gG
This shows that the distribution was pretty
steady until last year when II increased nearly
l,lOOOO pounds over the year previous This
Increase is attributed not only to increased con.
sumption NJ home aud to the improved Circum-
stances of our people, but also TO the new fields
opened up TO us in Arizona, Colorado, etc and
direct shipments of tea east, which are begin
ning TO assume some Importance. We entered
The year with u stock of l,Ss5, 500 pounds 10
which we have added nearly 700, 600 pounds,
making In all about 1900, 900 pounds. Assum
Ing that our distribution has been on the basis
OF ISL wo should have distributed 1900 O0J
pounds and have on hand IL $1,000 pounds
This Is nota very heavy stock, and 1t looks II
our assumption of distribution Is correct as II
we VIII nave no extra stock on hand by the
time the new teas arrive
