Oh uc staple. All the representations OF the
unusually wet until the FIRST of November, and
when can but be OF great disadvantage TO
planters in picking and marketing their crop.
The price of cotton Is gradually declining which
is the result of many causes. the principal OF
unsoid at the manufactures IN Europe,
and tho light demand for cotton
goods generally II Is thought however; by
those whose opinions are worthy OF consdcra-
ton that bottom prices have been nearly
reached and that better feeling will obtain
soon. There is marked falling of In the re.
ceipts of grain, not only In this city but all
over the country. 1t is well known that In
Texas at this season Of the year every laborer
that can be employed Is engaged In picking
cotton, and there are few farmers that can pay
tho prices asked for gathering corn and other
farm products. 1t Is therefore fair to presume
that the receipts Of grain in this city will be light
until tho holidays and there Is
every reason to believe that corn and
oats will be advanced In price over present quo
tatlons 1t Is u pleasure TO know that our farm
acreage In wheat oats. barley and other small
grains, for they pay better profit on the
money and labor expended than does cotton.
The fall clip0f wool Is now being marketed, and
IN the history OF wOol-growing In Texas Prices
for wool all over the country are lrmer. There
Is demand for Texas hides which generally are
heavy and command the highest prices paid in
decline In the number of cattle purchased In
thS city for shipment abroad, This Is owing
III great measure TO the growing wants to sup
ply the consumtion in this city, which must in.
crease as the city advances In population Good
shipllng cattle are scarce, aud butchers take
nearly all that are offered Native fruits are be-
coming scarcer day by day and California and
northern varieties are eagerly sought for. The
egular market reports of the HERALD Will indi-
cato the prices ut which they are held. There
~ liberal supply OF apples coming in from all
over north Texas, but not enough TO supply tho
demand, the, shipments from the north
are increasing daily. There mover
before has been the same demand for all kinds
OF building material in this city us charactcrizes
tne trade to-day. Lumber Is not only required
tor building purposes Mt home, but there IL an
active enquiry from the country. Prices arc yet
unchanged but dealers anticipate an advance
~ the mills, which win carry with Il rise in all
me markets of north Texas. The brick manu-
Iacturers arc well supplied ut this time, but they
anticipate heavy orders In the near future. The
market is far from being well supplied with
chickens and eggs and prices arc very firm.
Sood butter brings better prices than
formerly and MI homemade is in
good demand, Wood IL bringing full
quotations. and parties find II difficult 10 con-
tract for requirements for the winter ut present
prices, Hay is plentiful, and even with severe
winter tho supply will prove ample for all pur-
poses. II Is only necessary To say that the
wholesale trade of the city Is far above that of
extending In all directions The retail business
OF Dallas Is prosperous In all branches, and In
volume IL nearly double what ii was one year
ago.
on CHANGE.
On and after tomorrow wednesday, the
members of tho Exchange have contracted for
good, substantial lunch TO be provided for those

NJ TO their ribs by mns,cating the yiands set on

The transactions ON the regular board were
about as usual, and the few operations noted
We're rather of private nature. Tho Call
