COMMERCIAL.
DALLAS. Nov. al have not experienced
what might be called a dull day In business
since the middle OF August" was the remark
to-day OF one OF our prominent wholesale mer.
chants. InterrogntiDg him further. be said that
his business this season had very nearly doubled
In amount what II was last year; that his sales
had extended to farther localities. and that he
was receiving orders from the best country mer-
chants In the state who had never been In this
city and who had never been visited by his sales
men There can be no doubt that merchants
throughout all north Texas are DESTROYS OF max
Ing their purcbasesin this city. If they are not
personally acquainted with dealers here, their
affiliations and likes are all with u.s. and this
feeling will grow with years and Dallas viii go
Texas as commercial point until
her supremacy viii not be disputed. But BAL.
las wants more wholesale houses In all lines of
business to accommodate the demands made
upon her now almost unsolicited, and that rep
resenatlves f,om leading houses here should
visit every city and town In at least three
fouIths of the whole state. Our people should
encourage the establishment of more wholesale
houses In this city for they are necessity.
