here ever before enjoyed by an city in Texas.
! There has been an advance in meats and lard
corresponding with the rise in packing centres.
The stocks in The north are below what they

is rapidly growing in volume, and the ssles in
this city are far above those Of any previous

ware the same prosperity is noticed, while the
drug business has assumed metropolitan proper;
tons. The trade in liquors is very active, and
the same increase in sales is noticed as in other
leading branches of business. All of ouI

) enterprise in keeping full stocks, and Dial,

The retail trade of the city is active and no bet

localities are noticing failures in business, and
the journals. chronicle tull times, here in Dallas
the business men all, whether wholesale or re-
nil. wear cheerful faces and look forward to
increased transactions in the near future and an
enlarged and generous trade during the entire
year.
