north Texas regarding the cotton markets
of the country, save TO spectators alone.
The planters and buyers are not much in
terested in the advance or decline in prices
rs the staple has nearly all been marketed
The future markets do not point to ad-
vanced prices during the coming season,
aud If they prognosticate anything, IL is
low prices for the next year: Inc only
change in prices during the last week has
been a decline in Galveston OF a sixteenth,
although the outlook generally is not OF an
encouraging nature. While the market in
this city is inactive, there has been no
change in quotations. During the last
week futures have not changed materially.
In New York they are few points lower,
and in Liverpool they are without change.
There have been some receipts Of new
wheat in the city during the past few days.
The quality is not greatly different from
that of last year, a goodly portion OF which
would grade in st. Louis as No. 2, but
other lots would be regarded as strictly
No. 3. the grain is not as plump
as it should be, but it weighs well and may
brings about 90 cents for the best quality
Very little new oats have yet been mar
keted, and it is not thought that the arriv-
ais will be as large as last year. The men,
bers OF the Exchange are making all the
necessary preparations to care for all the
receipts Ol gam WHICH COl1e W tuc WY
At this time there is only small arrivals oil
hay and prices are nominal. The only de-
mand is from local consumers. Flour is
active and some good sales are being
effected daily, not only to home dealers but
good shipments are being made to near and
more distant points. Bran is in demand
and there is an increasing inquiry for it.
Cornmeal is steady at former quotations.
The low prices offered for wool has almost
stopped the sale in the western counties,
but in this city dealers are purchasing at
figures which are satisfactory under the
depression in the markets east, to the wool
gro.ers. Dallas is beginning TO loom up
as wool market, where growers can
get the highest prices. Hides are steady at
Heavy green hides are preferred, if free
from grubs and other defects. The cattle
market is buoyant, and all that is suitable
for shipment are taken at full figures.
Butchers stock is in demand, and the sup.
ply is not as good as week ago. Veal
calves are nearly out of the market, and all
that are offered on the exchanges are
arriving freely, but during the last few
days there has been a falling off in the offer
ings, and the supply is only equal to home
demand. There is little sale for hogs, al
though the offerings have been liberal.
Horses are still in urgent demand, particu.
larry large heavy work animals. Ponies
and light driving horses are scarce and but
few are exposed for sale. All kinds of live
stock command good prices. Broom corn
is almost entirely out of the market, and
the askings are liberal. Poultry is scarce
, and high. Very few spring chickens are
exposed for sale on the streets or
In the stalls. Every one seems de-
whether for the table or for propagating
purposes. Eggs are not plentiful and prices
are advancing. Potatoes are offered in
abundance and they are generally of bet
ter quality than ever before brought to this
city. The markets afford a bountiful
variety Of gre, n vegetables, which always
sell readily. Never before has there been
such an abundance OF native fruits exposed
for sale in this city, md prices for them are
well maintained. Tropical fruits are
higher and the supply is gradually falling
off. Wood is scarce and higher ami is now
bringing prices which will not probably be
advanced during the winter months. Mel.
Ions are offered freely on the market, and
