DALLAS, April 20.-There is little laugh
ing remark frequently made and noted u
this effect: "Well, do you expect Dallas Ia
he eyerything-the railroad centre, the ruer-
chants emporium, and the great manuiac-
tnrinr point of TexasPh The HrWALn
replies that such is the purpose Of very
true friend OF Dallas, and the tendency OF
trades march TO permanent location. The
next subject to which it would direct the
attention of our commission men ana mer-
chants is the securing at all hazards OF the
wool trade of North Texas. Where does
wool seek its market Undoubtedly IA The
north, aud Dallas is on rs tracN 10 iharSet'

i, the want ~ properly directed efforts to
secure il. Agents, Of course, can he sent
ont and solicited orders filled and salos eff
iected, but whs, we want Ii recognition
of the fact that Dallas Is the main central
MONT of the wool trade Of North Texas, as

Only let our dealers remember and act upon
this fact, We daily .gain in the race for
commercial ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS outstripping
rivalry and do not, 20 far as tho HERALD is
concerned. fail to let tho world know tho
fact. '.Stil keep up the lick, " is the watch
word of our contegt-send good men 10 the
sOutl, the south-wes and especially to the
west, offer superior Inducements to tho
hockmasters and show them that this Is
the best markes. Be unremitting; start
first carding concern, then convert mate
rial into cloth, caIpeting and felt sacrifice
a little profit in the start, but above all
other considerations establish Dallas rs tho
great wool center of north Texas. Let out
side and lainor considerations be forgotten
in the race and II small golden apples fall
from the hands of others in the race stoOp
not to pick them up, but hasten to victory's
goal. The HERALD does not blow its trump
for Jercho's destruction, but to strengthen
her walls and make her waste places glad"
ON CHANGE,
In the absence Of better arrivals of grain,
transactions on the exchange are higher in
the cereals but the cotton buyers are active
and are endeavoring to secure all that is Of
fered ON the market There Is some discus
sion in regard to wool. aud parties nre al
ready taking steps to secure the agency for
heavy operators in Boston and Philadelphia,
and before the season fairly opens there will
be an increased number OF buyers in the
city, who will pay the highest prices posi-
BILE Tor this staple 1t is said that there il
more money, and better commission paid
TO dealers in wool than Is given to cotton
buyers. There is no reason Why commits.
sion men should not add wool to their 9TH
or business. Prices are steady on quota
tons for both cotton and grain.
The members present on the exchange
to-day were discussing the propriety OF hay
ing branch post Office established in the
new exchange building, and the proposition
has the appearance Of being n
feasible one. 1t would certain
ly DO of great convenience
to the members, Tor IL would afford them
facilities for buying stamps and postal
orders, mailing their correspondence and
receiving their mail when they transact
their general business. There is not n
doubt that the new exchange building,
wherever it may be located, will be the
great business centre of the city, for
branch of the telegraph will be established
in the main room, and If post Office is Sc
cured for the convenience of the members,
large amount of the postal business of the
city, will find that the most convenient and
eligible location that could he selected. IL
is a God suggestion and II the members OF
the exchange resolve to secure branch
post Office IN the building they will con-
sunmate their purpose.
