DALLAS November Tho amount of frogh
shipped from this city by rail during the pas
month, not including cotton, is fully double thu
of any other month in the history of Dallas
The demand for grain from all points of tn,
state and south has contributed mate rally t
this result but the great bulk of the railfoat
business at this point is composed of merrhan
disc of all kinds, agricultural implements, flour
carriages and wagons, livestock etc. OF COuTst
the shipments of cotton are larger, the daily re-
ceipts here now averaging over 400 bales, and
which would require nearly n full train daily Il
transport to the seaboard. Hardly day passes
that there are not received In this city from five
TO twenty cars of grain. Hour potatoes and Other
articles Of produce, and 1t Is stated that ut least
fifteen cars of lumber are the aggregate receipt,
per day from the mills in eastern aud northern
portions of the state, These estimates are under
instead OF above the actual facts regarding the
railroad business, and do not embrace the
many minor articles, which would aggregate
nearly as much as those designated above.
From this casual and imperfect statement
u VIII be observed that the business of Dallas is
large beyond what one might conclude without
close observation, If Dallas continues to adj,
vance In the next five years as she has during
me past twelve months, she will be by far the
greatest commercial city in Texas. unless other
cities Of greater .pretentions push ahead more
rapidly ana surely than they are now doing
