DALLAS EXCHANGE AND SILVER
COMMERCIAL.

ID LAS. March l3.-Since the last weekly
review Of the markets Of this city, business
In ali the staple products has been remark
ably steady and quiet. The one staple In
which all classes are more interested at this
time than any other, is cotton. For some
time past the price paid for it, has been not
above the cost Of production, and conse-
quently il has ceased 20 be profitable pro-
duct OF the country. Nearly all that Is now
offered on the market, is badly stained, and
Is value thereby reduced below quotations,
which are only given for grades that will
bear close inspection. Pnces have not

cept In New Orleans alone, where an advance

PROVISIONS,

In the provision trade the consumptive
demand for hog product has been very ac-
tive throughout the year. The great de-
cline in the foreign demand has hardly been
felt as an embarrassment, that for home
consumption having absorbed the meat
about as fast as it could be prepared for
market.
An exchange says: "As cold weather
passes away and spring approaches, less at
tention is being given by buyers TO the
weight of hogs and more to quality, 1t is
the smooth, trim hog that will be wasted
from this forward. The active season for
the manufacture of lard closes with the cold
weather, and the rush for lard or heavy
hogs is over with the winter packing season,
Breakfast bacon and small hams are the
great articles Of manufacture by packers
during the spring and summer months, and
it is such "porkers that can be worked
best into this product that is most sought
after, and realize the best price during this
season. And the country shipper that seeks
to supply this demand TO the best advan-
tage must meet with the greatest success"

DRY GOODS.

The latest special from Boston says that
agents are as strong as ever In their views
on cotton fabrics. Production is fairly sold

Brown and bleached sheetings and shirtings
are firmly held at previous prices, and some
yanced. Colored cottons are quiet.
Prints have moved little
more freely this week, but sales are
still below expectations. Popular special
ties in satins, suitings and skirtings are
doing remarkably well for the season, but
warmer weather Is needed 10 impart ami

have been reduced 10 &c. and - fine sheet

Gao. Print cloths are in light demand, and
prices have hardly been sustained. There
Il a decidedly better feeling in the market
for wooden fabrics for mems wear. Buyers
are operating with more confidence, and
the outlook Is promising for all the higher
grades. The clothing trade has improved
and dealers look for large business during
March. This has is effect on the wooden
industry generally. and imFarts confidence
all around. In suitings and sackings Tor
ladies' wear business has been moderate
and steadily improving. No movement Of

Dealers in grain seemed more anxious to

mer down prices holders of the cereals were
pleasantly enabled to maintain al kinds OF
grsin at the highest quotations. Some good
sales were effected for corn and oats, and ON
the call board few exhibited an anxiety to
purchase wheat for May and June. which
desire was freely met by those who think
prices are above what the crop in sight and
the future demand will justify. The HER
AID said few days ago that thespeculative
bee was buzzing in the bonnets ofthe mem
bers of the exchange, and If there are a few
more meetings like that of to-day it will be
verified to the letter. The operations were
not confined to grain alone, but some
of .ie more ventureous went III on
meats and mess pork, asserting that the
hog products were too low, and that they

lucrative trade ever vouchsafed the city
Groceries are low, and provisions are steady

large and satisfactory operations which are
surely awaiting them during the entire
