GROCERIES.

In the face of the worst roads ever before
experienced in this portion OF the state, the
wholesale grocery trade has fully main.
tanned 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 tins line, as
well as all others, extends in every direction
for hundreds of miles, and is gradually but
surely increasing its boundaries. Country
merchants are beginning to arrive to make
acquaintance 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
Culloch, in 1858, put down the worlds pro-
duce at l 100000 tons. In that year the is
land produced about 1876 26O tons. In 1862
63 the crop produced 5000 tons, the largest
quantity ever made in Mauritius in single
crop. These figures areindependent OF sugar
made from the beet or other sources besides
the cane. The crop during coupe Just over
is estimated at 125, 900 tons.
The coffee plant is productive throughout
the coast of Mexico to an altitude of from
5000 to 1000 feet above the level of the sea.
1t is accimated at a still greater altitude in
some other countries, but requires always a
mean temperature of from 81 to 70 degrees
Fahrenheit.
