Wagons
ket. Hogs are abundant and above the de-
mand, and generally are in excellent condl-
| ton Horses, mules and ponies, II IN iair
working order, are always salaple. All
kinds OF livestock bring full quotations.
| The hide market is active, but prices are
not firm as they have been. Large quaint.
ties are being shipped by Dallas buyers
from nearly every railroad point in north
Texas, and this city is now regarded as the
most important hide market in north
Texas. During the past week some heavy
orders have been received here for tallow,
and dealers are notifying their correspond
ents to send all they can purchase at cur
rent rates. As yet there is no wool coming
in, Shearing has begun IN the southern
portions of the state, and it will only be
few days before portions of the new clip
will be offered here. Prices in the eastern
cities remain steady and comparatively
high. Some parties in this city are making
pre- parations to buy eggs to ship north and
to New Orleans, and If they can purchase at
prices that will justify them in doing SO,
will enter largely into the trade;
The backward spring has prevented
the receipts being as large as they. have
been in former years. Very few, chickens
are offered on the market, while turkeys
here are almost q curiosity, and as conse-
ouence prices remain firm. There is no
change to be made in good country butter:
What is now being offered is iirmer and OF
better color generally than characterized
Texas butter a year or two ago. and conse-
euently it is preferred to that brought from
the north. New vegetables are beginning
to be seen at the stalls, and before another
week passes they will be abundant and
cheap. Good potatoes, Of variety desira-
BILE for seed, are high, while those suitable az,
for table use are declining in value; The
markets are well supplied with cabbage,
and prices are receding. Apples remain
firm at former quotations, while all kinds
of tropical fruits are lower and OF an excel
lent quality. There is not that demand Tor
wood which was noticed upon the. streets
week or two ago, and prices are becoming
steady at about su miner figures. The gen
eral business of the city is in most salts
factory condition, both wholesale and re-
tail, and to use common expression,
shines are good" in Dallas.
ON CHANGE.
Among other visitors on the Exchange to-
day were Mr.. A. H. Lea, of Cofsicana, and
Mr.. A. ID. Wilibone, of Fort Worth.
The attendance on the Exchange to day
wasfair, and grain operators were all anx-
ious to purchase both of corn and is. A
few transactions were made in these staples,
but the stocks being light holders were I'M
willing to make any concessions on regular
quotations. There were several sales OF
millet seed made, but generally in small
way and to fill orders from surrounding
towns. There was good enquiry for wheat,
| but the little left in the hands of farmers is
taken by millers at full prices. Very little
| was done in hay, although several parties
offered it at what was deemed to be inside
| figures.

GRAIN AND BREADsruFFs. :,
| The receipts of grain have been unusually
light during the past two days, much is at
! tributable to bad roads. There has been
some grain shipped west by
dealers in this city from Kan
sas, and very large number of or
ders coming to dealers here will be shipped
| from that state in future. The wagon re-
ceipts are now barely enough for local con-
sumption, and prices of all kinds of grain
are firm and steady. There is a good de-
