COMMERCE AND TRADE
COMM ERCyAI,

DALAI January Give see from our Chicago
papers that the Wholesale Grpcors Commercial
exchange In that city has been formally opened
They say that it numbers among its members
every wholesale grocer and nearly every broker
in the place The object of these exchanges Is
known 10 all the commercial world and the al,
yautages derived thcretrOm too numerous hhh
obviously important 10 recount In brief, they
facilitate trade and unite the interests both OF
buyer and selle,. standard OF price is estah-
lisned and one, toO,on which all can rely ON WIN
implicit confidence. OF course, In great cont
merciul cities like Chicago, this object rs more
readily accomplished and perfected than IN
young and growing cities, but the necessity Tor
their organization and announcement ~ none
tho less apparent to all who desire 10 place Oar
ter and trade upon permanent basis ana hNru
principles. Without complaining ut all OF our
own efforts in this direction. we must say That
M lch remains 10 be done here-much that would
rebound TO the incilcuiable benefit Of the
whole community. The grain men are, perhaps,
the most Jealous attendants upon the dairy
meetings of our boards. and some OF the Inor
chants contribute not only OF their means, put
by personal interest and attention 10 the com
mercial questions necessarily arising Yet sun
there IL by 10 means that wide.awake ana en-
Unused spirit manifested which sparBles IN the
eye and rings out In the voice OF inc chicago
exchange men. True we are somewhat luiau-
tile and have to crawl before we can walk-to
walk before We can rlln-and yet some babes
learn TO crawl, walk and run much lnster lhnn
others, AT u time like this-an era We may say
IN the life Of Ddllas-whcn tho status OF mum
Cipal hobble-de- hOydOm Is expected To mature
into the ripeness OF metropolitan fnllness-ca-
pecially ut such II crisis should our best efforts
be put forth, and the talent OF our most farsee-
Ing and asiutc business men be called mo
requlsion. 1t Is day OF syn
dicates and combnations-whon combination
must be formed 10 meet combination, even rs
the shpqer and miner is cnlljeahnon by the en-
>gineer TO meet GRa cOunterilnc against lht
rival antagonist who would blow him To the
skies. All blowing through one horn makes Il
wonderful noise, and many II city, besides
Jericho, has seen Its ramparts shattered aud de-
