COMMERCE AND TRADE.
COMMERCIAL


Of this city for the past week the heavy transae-
tons in grain are TO be particularly noticed,
Outside of the Exchange but few OF our bust
ness men are cOgnizant OF the heavy business
done IN this line. For instance, to-day at least
twenty carloads OF oats have changed hands, 10
say nothing of wheat, corn. rye and barley.
There has been marked falling oil In the re-
ceipS Of both oats and wheat during the past
week, and while the prices of the latter are firm,
those Of the former show downward tendency.
The wheat grown In this section OF the state Is
q superior quality, and Is IN demand both III
this state and In other localities, and prices for II
are firm. Texas'rust-proof oats are regarded
as the best offered in any OF the markets.
year or two ago western oats
were considered the best offered in st
Louis or Chicago. To-day choice Texas oats
have the preference. lis believed that there
will be good demand for Texas oats this fall
in Alabama, Georgia and other southern states,
as 1t Is recognized as being superior To- amy
Others for seeding purposes. Prices will un-
doubleday be better later in the seassn. There
is no prospect of any change In the prices Of
wheat In this state, even If there Is marked
decline north. as 1t will not pay to ship II from
there 10 Texas and all that may remsin here
will be wanted for home consumption Old
corn comes IL very slowly, and the new crop is
not sufficiently hardened for marketable pur.
poses. Barley is scarce and firm at quotations.
AS this Is one OF the most profitable crops tho
farmer can cultivate in Texas, 1t is expected
there Will be larger acreage OF II sown III this
state next year than ever before. Rye bringsa
good price, but there is little ON the market
The people of our state may rejoice in the
