GROCERIES.

No branch OF the wholesale trade OF Dallas Is
In moro prosperous condition than that OF gro
series. During the last year the sales in this
Nne have nearly doubled that of any previous
one, and instead of quietly maintaining whet Is
at present coming here dealers are sending out
their statesmen into new fields and are constant
ly adding to their already heavy business.
There are many causes which conspire TO render
Dallas the lowest grocery market in The state,
and as this fact becomes established and known,
country dealers take advantage of u and consult
their best Interests by purchasing here. IL VIII
be seen by comparing quotations here with
those of the larger cities in the south or west
that not one of them MI offers superior induce
ment TO buyers, and In many particulars eN-
hibit advantages that cannot be presented by
any other wholesale point in tho country.
Prices are steady as follows

the following;
The coffee trade for the month of March was
exceptionally light owing principally to the
favorable adviCes from c0nsumpuye markets

The total sales during the month amounted To
only $500 bags of which IS 100 were for the
United States, 1860 for Europe !, $50 for the
Cape, and $500 for elsewhere. The total clear.
ances for March and the nine months of the

From this table II will be seen that there has
been large falling of in the shipments this
year. as compared with the preceding year,
although the shipments to the united
states show small Increase. The direct steam
ship communication with Canada has also
brought II new destination into the trade, which
figures as an increase. These results for the
nine months ending March 81 show nm increase
10 the United States of l7ii bags. Canada, 8,59J
