COMMERCIAL.

GAZETTE OFFICE, January 10, 'S3.
The commercial week which closed
yesterday, according TO the GAzErrE's
chronology, presented no extraordi-
nary phases in the situation of bust
ness affairs, so far as Fort Worth is
concerned. The trade Of the previous
week was steadily main
tanned, the only notable diff
ference being slight. improv-
ment in retail traffic, due chiefly to
the passable condition of the country
roads and splendid genial weather.
The wholesale business continues fair
liz active. but dealers report somewhat
Of IA decline in the volume of business
as compared with the forward move
ment OF goods in the few weeks pre-
ceding the holiday season. Collections
however, are easier than was expected,
and the ability of debtors to meet or
satisfy their obligations imparts a
reassuring tone to the immediate pros
poets. a decline in prices of whole
sale dry goods is everywhere appar-
ent, on account OF the large supply of
cotton and the low price of the same.
The effect is even now visible
in this market. The grocery
market has undergone but few iiuctua-
tons hams and breakfast bacon hav-
ing dropped fraction, as Will be seen
by the quotations under the appropri-
ate heading. Business In this line
holds up remarkably well, and the out
look Is anything but uniayor-
able. But little Is doing IN
wool and hides, this season Of
the year being the dullest in those
commodities. our quotations are stu
kept up for the purpose Of indicating
the downward tendency of the East
ern market, with which the local one
never fails to act in sympathy. Tariff
discussion has had its visible effects,
and th.re il no divining, accu-
rateIy, what the status viii be
henceforward. The supply OF and de
mand for grain is so small that the
prices are somewhat unsettled. occa-
! sionally farmers bring In their surplus
stock of corn and oats and convert IL
( market for such produce in Fort
| Worth, and the last named commands
/ fair price. Fair weather and
I improved roads have stimulated the
movement of cotton from the gins and
storers arc anticipating AN increased
( business in consequence. The prices
seemed TO have struck the bed rock
and may remain comparatively sta
4 tionary for some time. The meanest
I grades are being marketed.
/ The produce supply is fully
/ equIralent 10 the demand. Our
meat stalls hang with wild game,
beef, mutton, pork, poultry and
country produce generally, for which
butchers and market men pay good
prices. The supplying OF these stalls
with pork by hog-raisers in the sur
rounding country is made the medium
Of handsome profits for tho producer,
and ought TO act as az stimulus
10 increased production ip the TIM
bered regions. There Is not surieit
Of poultry and eggs at present, but
usually the supply Is adequate to all

to have big barbecue and blowout,
and the tirst cattle run through and
cooled, to be cooked and eaten
down on the grounds, and
the whole country around to be
invited to the feast. The Cincin-

a car load of beer, and / want farmers,
cattle men and all interested 10 attend

splurging. l do 1t to stimulate the
raising OF fat cattle by everybody who
can buy calf, and that those who at
tend the barbecue can see the process

1--WE will build ii ourselves from
plans and specifications got up by our
architect under my direction. The
BOYLE Ice machine Company furnish
the refrigerating and ice making ma
chinery. The lumber comes from
Beaumont, Texas, the Reliance mill,
| The tanks boilers, fittings, tools, ETC.,
were purchased by me through our
agents in Chicago, Messrs. Osgood &
Gray. Our consulting engineers are

shall do all in my power to furnish
business for their road, which is not
appreciated by the people hereabouts

,o0uld hare been no slaughter house, as
there would have been no railroad
hope and pray they will start it for the
west, so can bring cattle from every
point to the slaughter house, moi
but what they can be driven overland
and will be, but hundred miles ride
won't hurt them, and it will stimulate
small shipments and we can build vi
stock yards. BY the way, you can sa,
our company will have stock yards
oattle, horse and mule pens in connec
ton with our works. and Will short,
establish a cattle market and eXchang
for the sale and purchase of all kind
of live stock, mules and horses. Tw'

A Boston woman has delivered the
following opinion of Langtry: Her
throat is like driven snow, her head
beautifully poised, and when she
dances how girlish and pretty she is
Her side face and slope of head is very
lovely, and her teeth! But her full
face is far from beautiful, and some.
times plain. She has no tender look,
only n smile, which is all but forced
at times, and there is almost no play
of expression--no mobility of feature.

The rirs, democratic Lady y II, Land.


A Washington correspondent has giv-
en- the public dish of society news, and
has the following about the wife of the
speaker:
Mrs. Carlisle, the Wife of the new
speaker, will, on the lst of January,
when the society season opens here;
take her place as the leader in official
social circles. AS long as Senator Ed
munds holds the position of president
pro TEN. of the senate. Mrs. Edmmds
win really rank Mrs. Carlisle. But even
if Senator Edmunds should continue to
be acting vice president, Mrs. Carlisle
will continue to be the leading lady, as
Mrs. Edmtiffds is in mourning for u
daughter and consequently will not go
in society at all. At all official dinners
this winter Mrs. Carlisle, hike Mrs. Keis
fer last winter, win rank her husband,
and if the president Is present will take
the position corresponding to his. This
official etiquette seems very strange
outside of Washington, but here, where
so many guests at. entertainments arc
Official, it is absolutely necessary that
there should be some ruleof precedence,
! or else there would be bitter jealousies.
At dinner the Oldest senator in point
of service takes precedence of all other
senators present, although he may be
the dullcst and most unintere sting OH
present. In the same way the members
who have served the longest take prece-
deIce of the younger ones.
Mrs. Carlisle is woman who can fill
any position. She is Kentuckian,
having been born in the city of Coving-
ton, where their home now is. Her
father vas a prominent man in Ken
tucky and was mayor of Covington for
many years. Mrs. Carlisle inherits the
splendid physique of the typical Ken
tuckian. She is five feet nine inches,
and as straight as an arrow. He figure
is as 1.-the as a young girls. She is
blonde in complexion, with blue gray
eyes, set rather deep under strongly
marked eyebrows. Her blonde hair is
banged and worn slightly waved in the
prevailing fashion. 1t is hard to real
ize that Mrs. Carlisle is the mother of
two grown sons. The eldest one was
married last spring to Covington lady.
Mrs. Carlisle is very proud of her "two
boys" as she always calls them. She
has great faith in her husbands politi-
cal success, and has always herself done
great deal to insure it. She has been
as cool as her husband during the speak
ership struggle and has not doubted
for one moment that he would be the
next speaker.

Chicago Herald: If the democratic
party will now stand boldly forth as the
champion of tax reform and economi-
cal administration it will have some ex-
cuse for continued existence. If it is to
go on croaking forever, with no purpose
but to get the offices it might as well
disband at once. No party can creep in
to success in this country stealthily.
The victorious organization must have
policy, and must not be afraid to pro-
claim it boldly. The step ahead which
the democratic party has taken is one
of the most cheering signs of the times.
1t indicates that change of leadership
has taken place, and that the politics of
the country is to be lifted from the quag-
mire of snarling sectionalism and mere
office-getting to the higher plane where
the science of government may be dis
cussed-and passed upon by an enlight-
ened people.
