DRY GOODS.

UNLIKE many other, cities in the south and
west Dallas Il seldom affected in her wholesale
trade by what is known MS the dull season.
When one crop becomes exhausted another
comes in. and thus trade Is continuous, whereas,
If business was dependent on the cotton crop
alone there would be long periods duriag the
summer months when transactions would be
light The dry goods, like all others in the
city, has continued Ia increase and sales are re-
ported by dealers as far better than ever before
at this season. very large number OF mer
| chants in north Texas never think of buying in
any other market and those who do investigate
prices in more distant cities are sure to return to
This place where they find they can buy as low
and on MS favorable terms as in any other whole
sale point in the country. There are only few
changes to note in our quotations, prices gener-
| ally being very firm aud steady.
