DALLAS, November 2i.-Buslness In Dalm
during the past week has been remarkably nc
tive In the Wholesale lines Country merchant
who purchased early In the season have expert
enc,d heavy trade aud their stocks have al
ready become low, and as the prospects for
Ing heavily again this soon 10 meet the require
ments of their customers. The operations ON the
Merchants Exchange continue good, although
u is with great difficulty dealers can supply The
demands that are made upon them for grain
from nearly all directions The grain market IN
this city has been active and while the arrivals
are Fight by wagon, there have been good re-
ceipts OF both corn aad oats by rail The ar
rivals OF wheat are falling OH heavily and barely
snihcent is coming IN TO keep the mills running
There has been Il fair demand for all kinds o
small grain for seed, and while order'
are generally small, In the aggregate they
reach large proportions Prices are steady
Cotton is coming IN freely, both by wagon aud
by raj. and while prices have not been as good
asconld be desired, dealers here are paying al
That Is justified In consideration OF the low
centres In this country. The yield promises Ia
be large one and with favorable market II
may prove tho largest ever produced in
America Flour remains steady and there has
been no change In prices during the week. Mil
let seed is growing In demand, and farmers nre
already beginning TO purchase for seeding in the
spring. Cattle continue In demand, and the sup
plies In ameasure are now brought here by
rail rom ,he western counties. The same holds
good az regards mutton sheep. There Is fair
inquiry for good grain fed hogs. Live stock OF
all sihds are bringing good prices In the past
week provisions have declined materially and
prices are now lower than they have been for
months past The fall clip of wool Is about all
disposed of in this section OF the state AID lttIo
remains In the hands OF the wool-growers. The
hay crop of north Texas has been unprcce-
IN, IN lima
the demand has been light There arc large
quantities stacked In all the northern counties,
enough to supply any demand that may follow
oven during II hard winter. There Is a good In.
qniry for bran and the mills are unable to sup.
ply the d. mand. Fruits of all kinds are plenti
lul, Apples are firm and shade higher, while
tropical and California varieties remain stendy ut
former quotations. There Is still an abundance
OF green vegetables offered on the markets 70.
tatoes are coming In finely from tho north, and
are generally OF an excellent quality. AS the
holidays approach, the enquiry for turkeys,
chickens, butter and eggs is increasing. They
care all bringing high prices, There has been
an extraordinary scarcity of wood on the streets
Tor several days past which Is owing greatly to
inc TACT that farmers and planters are now busy
with their crops picking cotton, gathering corn,
blowing and sowing their fall grain, and have
little time TO devote to other purposes. The re-
tall trade OF the city continues In very iatter-
Ing condition, and merchants generally are salts.
He'd with their sales which are. In fact, all they
could expect or desire,
