DAttAs, January ~ In reviewing the
Wholesale business of the city for the last
week, II Ia safe "a say that tile transact ions
have very nearly reached the magnitude OF
any week In the past six months, THIS
speaks volumes for Dallas for u consider
ING the bad weather and almost iinpnssable
roads II would be u reasonable deduction
10 arrive at that trade and commerce would
be dull, VI not NJ n stand.stlll' tut the
reverse has been the actual facts. our dry
goods dealers ali agree that their sales have
been heavy beyond precedent at this season
of the year. Our grocers have not oxperl,
enced dull day, and the hardware ana

truth, every branch Of business has been
well patronized by dealers from surround
ing towns. 1t might be regarded by those.
who are not acquainted with the extent Of
our wholesale trade as Idle vaporing, when
we say that our merchants are endeayoring
TO curtall their business on account OF ITS
unparalleled growth in the last few months
but nevertheless it is verify, and to-day
the trade that could be brought to this city
would sustain and prove highly
remunerative TO three. or Tour, time
the number OF wholesale houses
already well established here. If Dallas
depended upon her retail business alone, or
the little trade surrounding her, as, is the
case with some towns of magnificent pre-
tensions in this section of the State, she
might be considered q finished city, but she
derives her trade and support from locali-
ties hundreds of miles distant i'll every di-
rection, and she is fast becoming the pride
as well as the commercial metropolis of one
of the most productive and prosperous Sec
tons in the South, and it might be truth
fully said of our whole country. We want
more wholesale houses, and they will come
to us, for capital and business will concen.
trate where there is demand for them, and
where it will prove remuneratiye.
THERE has been an advance in freights
over the roads leading from st. Louis and
on the line of the NJ, X. q Il. Road in Kan
sas. The treights on flour are now sixty
cents grain fifty cents, and hay forty-fivt
cents There has been general revision o.
| the freight tariff to all points, and Dalla!
has not suffered any by the new schedule o
prices. There has been no advance on ship
ments North, and cotton freights remain a
former prices.
OURhardware merchants inform us thai
their trade is steadily increasing, ever
| at this season. and the demand for building
hardware has never been so great in any
former year. Orders from the West in thi:
line are unusually heavy.
The lumber trade of the city continues
very active, and, notwithstanding the in
creased transportation facilities, it is almos
impossible to secure supplies from the mills
to accommodate the increasing demand
from abroad. The sales for local building
purposes are as large as at any time during
the past year.
Country produce of all kinds is scare,
upon the market. Chickens have advanced
to two seventy-ive and three dollars egg
readily bring twenty cents, and all kinds o
vegetables command full figures.

LIVE STOCK

In the last two days the receipts of cattle
and sheep have been more liberal, and the
market is now fairly supplied with both.
Hogs are not so plentiful, owing to the TACT
that many are being bous hit up all over the
country and shipped TO Fort Worth for
packing purposes. Our quotations are I'M
changed and prices firm, particularly for
hogs.
the market for horses begins to show signs
of recovery from the early winter depres-
sion, and, as we have now entered upon the
last half of winter, we expect to see the
market in this branch of trade steadily
grow stronger as we advance into the spring
season.. There is every indication OF a
fairly active spring trade before MS IN all
branches of business, and the trade IN
horses will no doubt keep full pace with all
the other departments of business. Really
good horses of all the different kinds that
are usually wanted in the market are likely
to bring good prices from this time on.
Anew. and singular disease has broken
out among the horses and mules In lseard
and Fulton counties, Arkansas, and large
numbers are affected with it,. The animal
is first taken with lameness in the hlp or
shoulder and this is followed by difficulty
in breathing and lamenesss in all the 1eet.
Thus far only q few cases are announced as
having proved fatal, but the disease is SAID
to be spreading rapidly.
1t is estimated that there are 100000 cat
tie grazing in Wyoming, and the cattle
business, though assuming immense pro
portions in that prosperous Territory, IS
Comparatively new, the first breeding herds
having been turned loose in 1867.
Middlebury, w., shipped GU head OF
registered merino sheep last year, against
5,965 head in 1880, and 1000 head in 1879.
One hundred and twenty thousand sheep
and vast herds of cattle are pastured in the
immediate vicinity of Truckee, California.

Eating Poi.

We extract the following from
1.-The .yagabond's" letter to the
Melbourne argus. Some Of our
readers will recollect 1.-The vaga-
bond" who was o fellow passenger
of His Majesty between here and
San Francisco:
"At lunch we eat the last Of the
poi which Mr.. Dean had kindly sent
me at Honolulu, and which had
been kept fresh in the ice-chest. I
like this Hawaiian national dish when
1t is in good condition. I am assur-
ed that it is very healthy article Of
diet. The natives live and thrive on
it, but the true poi-eater likes it
"high," when the process of decay
has succeeded that of fermentation,
and when the unframed nostrils are
offended at the odour. But your
gourmand Of game in Great Britain
possesses exactly the same taste.
Putrid flesh, is savoury to him, as
.putrid vegetable extract is to the
Hawaiian. 1t is one of the ambitions
of my life to eat poi like true ma
tive---to sit around calabash, to
dip my two first fingers into the
cruelty gelatinous looking,substance,
to twirl them round as one does q
spoon in the molasses pitcher, and
then adroitly hoist and transfer a
streamy portion Of poi into my
mouth. That is the real way to eat
it. . That is the way I once tried to
do it. The result-the stuff went
into my eyes, nose, ears, down my
neck, everywhere except into the
proper receptacle. / eat poi with q
silver spoon now, but still nourish
the thought that some day / may
achieve my wish.

the light capabilities Of his new gas,

Old Eph Sewell, who as snake
charmer used to be one of the attrac-
tions of Barnum's museum, related
to New York reporter the Incidents
OF famous fight he once had with a
boa constructor. Eph had charge Of
a cage of reptiles, and used TO 60
into the cage and lie down with the
snakes. He said:-- .f3
ION one occasion i introduced
myself to the largest boa constric-
tor ever brought to this country.
He was eighteen feet in length. and
weighed over three:hundred pounsp.
He had been in the country two
weeks, and Barnum was obliged to
pay good price for him. When I
went into the cage i saw that he had
become monarch of the concern.
The remaining snakes were as SUBJ
missive as mice, and when they
crawled over to meet me his lord
ship looked wicked. I caught him
in my arms, and he reared his head
until 1t rested upon my left shcul-
der. Lifting him as much'as posi-
BILE, passed him around my body.
and he apparently imagined that he
was embracing tree in his native
jungle. He frightened his coil, and
a feeling like ! was being slowly snf-
located came over me. Quicker
than fash i caught him back Of
his head, and by desperate effort
wrenched myself free. Then we
both got angry. The boa came to-
wards me, and I caught him by the
throat. / was strong enough to
hold him at arms length despite his
struggles, and in q few moments he
gave up the fight and relaxed his
coils. Then ] shook him until he
was thoroughly alarmed, and ever
afterward no was submissive. Had
! permitted his coils to close about
me, no earthly agency could have
saved me-" ylsH.n}
