market il well supplied with tropical fruits
which are selling at reasonable figures There
Is little doing In hay, although the crop Is large
and eggs are In reasonable demand and the
market fairly supplied. In provisions there
Is not much change 10 note in prices.
During the early part of last week they advanced
have again been reduced. The grocery trade
Is very active md but few changes in prices are
noted In dry goods and notions there has
been heavy trade, and shipments in these lines
have been larger than ever before known at
this season. The same may be said of boots and
shoes. drugs, hardware and queensware. The
saddlery trade has also experienced an activity
not usual at this time of the year, and sales have
been extensive. Business In retail way has
been unusually brisk for the month OF June,
which gives evidence OF larger trade in the
early fall months The business prospects OF
Dallas and In fact Of all north Texas, have never
peen brighter than they are to-day.
on 'CHANGR
There was more activity on change to-day
than has been witnessed for several days past
The wide difference between tho views of BUYERS
and sellers still exists. Among the transactions
were ten cars OF bulk oats TO be delivered after
the 10Th OF July at % cent?, which would seem
10 establish the fact that prices will not be
greatly changed from those figures for large lots.
one car OF sacked oats at Carrollton brought
10 cents, aud one car of sacked oats in this city
sold for 81 IL cents, Tho general impression
among dealers seemed TO be that the spring oats
crop Is failure In this part of the state, and
that prices will keep up much better than was
anticipated few weeks ago
TuEREis growing feeling on change TO have
all deliveries OF grain made In this city, instead
OF buying at different railroad points surround
Ing, Ms Is sometimes the case now IL would no
doubt, he better TO have the grain brought her,
Whcfs II can be Inspected and passed upon ns "a
quality, Differences will arise regarding tho
gradeof all kinds of grain, and a great deal OF
tiounle ana expense may be avoided by hayins
the deliveries all made In Dallas II would Ger,
talnly be more satisfactory To all concerned

and should Justly be attributed 10 the efforts q
