Dry GOODS.

A dispatch from New York says the fea.
ture OF the market to-day has been the auc.
ton sale of woolens. The attendance of
buyers was very largo. The merchant
wooden company's beavers, Moscows and
other over-coaungs sold very low and very
unsat isiactory to the owners. The Peru
aud Lone Oak fancy cassimeres did very
well and for forced sale and trade opposed
to their purchase other than as actual re-.
quirements, the prices were very fair and
good. The general market was otherwise
very dull.
A Boston special says the dry goods trade
continues quiet. Jobbers report that they
are receiving some western orders, and that,
judging from auvices regarding the state OF
trade from their statesmen, they expect a
better trade. The retail trade Is good by
reason OF circumstances noted last week

Eighteen carloads OF shesp Wereshippsd
10 Texas from Los Angeles Saturday.
Southern New Mexico is especially adapt
ed TO sheep raising, and the business Is
growing with great rspidity. According
10 the census OF lss0, there were then To-
" J,OuO sheep in the country, and II Is est-
mated this number has since increased 20
jOUO,OOO. Last year over 30 eco GO COO lbs
OF wool were shipped from the territoIy.
The profits OF the business are enormous.
special from Little Rock says the cat
tie shipments still continue from that point,
and but Tor the want of cars more would
have gone forward. Seventeen hundred
he ld were shipped TO Van Buren, yesterday
in two trains, aud 2,GOO mead are waiting IN
Arrenta Tor cars. bound for the Indian
Nation. Another herd of 500 head is wait
Ing down the Latte Rock, Mississippi X
Texas railroad, near Tilar Station, for cars
to take them to Van Buren, from Argenia.
Twelve hundred head, belonging to the
Hon. q. N. Mcclellan, and the herds OF
Gus Byram, are now awaiting near Monti-
cello, in Drew county, for ears 10 Van
buren,. This letoer herd is destined for the
owner rancho in the Cherokee nation, lu-
dian Territory.
We clip the following from The Kansas
City Price Current;
The stock interest west of us, always an
important one, Ia becoming more aud more
valuable every year, bat with the increas
ing OF number on the range new order OF
things must assert itself The b1undess
iree ranges are things Of the past The
country has been cleared ot the Indians and
the wolves driven into Their hiding places.
Tie risk OF stock raising GA the plains has
therefore greatly lesseued, which increased
security has drawn many more men and
much new capital into stock raising west of
Us Tor tue past lew years. Sh great has been
the demand for ranches that all available
anu desirable Tree ranges have been taken.
And 80 crowded are the ranges becoming
tha' many ranchmen, where 1t can be done
are buying large land grants and pastures
buJ TINS Is only practicable in Texas and
the MeXlcos. Hence It is very apparent
that the cattle ana sheep business To the
iariher north must readjust itself. The
only safe retreat from our crowded free
ranges is the purchase of lands which one
can fence and keep intruders oil. The pre-
emption laws must keep open much of the
country yet, though fortunately, there is a
good deal OF railroad lands in Kansas yet
10 Do hau ny purchase. Take the county
OF Ellsworth, which has already become
noted for its ilocksof sheep and fine natural
grasses, and there aru still tracts of land of
the Kansas division of the Union Pacific
railroad unsold. The land grant to this
road also runs through the counties of
Eiiis, Russell, Trego, Grove, and others
farther west. Much of this country il now
occupied by sheep and cattle men. OF the
former, some are among the greatest flock
masters IN the state. And sheep. raising
and wool-growing is being carried on with
the greatest success in all those counties.

THE BUSINESS WORLD
COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS, Nav % 1t Is understood that
proposition will soon be laid before the
directors OF the Merchants exchange look
Ing TO the adoption Of life insurance
clause in the constitution, by when the
family or heirs OF any member on proof OF
his death shall receive not less than Sl,OO3
upon the return TO the exchange OF his
certificate Of stock and membership. At
though this Is not large sum oil money,
the very fact that members will feel assured
their stock will be OF even this value To
their families In case ofdeath will increase
their interest In the welfare OF the eK'
change. But the question has been asked
suppose one-f0urtn, or shy hall, oil the
members should die and the Merchants
exchange should become the possessor OF
its own stock by these deaths, would
IL not DO right to increase the
amount Of the policy The, New Orleans
Produce Exchange, on the death oil each
member, pays 81 500 to his family. Tho
New York Cotton Exchange gratuities are
as follows: $1,000, IL the member shall
have died within one year after June !,
1883; 81 ,501, II such member shall have died
after one year and within two years from
June /, 1883; 5000, after two years and

$500, after seven years and within eight
years from June /, 1883; $3.50, after eight
years and within nine years from
June 4. 1883, and 5000, If such
member shall have died after nine
years from June |, 1883. or course,
there would be no extra compensation
given to the officers Of the Exchange for
attending to the small labor which will be
aided to their usual duties by the addition
OF the life insurance clause. and hence the
expense would be reduced TO the very low
est amount possible. II Is TO DO hoped
