COMMERCIAL REVIEW

DALLAS, February &c. = Several parties In this
CITY have II In contemplation to erect elevators
here which will anord them better tGcilllies FOL
handling grain. The grain trade has become
one OF the most important business interests OF
Dallas and If it should increase III the next year
Ms largely as II has during the past twelve
months. additional elevators nnd store rooms
will be- come necessity, lisa well established
fact that this city is the great grain center OF
Texas, and there are more of tho cereals hand
led here than at any other city In the whole
state, aud probable ten times AS much as Ia any
other city In north Texas. Dealers all over the
upper tiers OF Coulties seek this city as market
for their grain, aud orders for II are received
here from ali over the state and from the terrific
ries west, as well as from Louisiana ana other
southern states. In view of these facts,
there can be no doubt that more
elevators are required to afford
dealers greater facilities 10 conduct their bnsi-
ness promptly and porf' city, IN this connee-
ton II might he proper Ia speak OF the benefit

Hartford and Harlem.

Opposition to the Location Very Ds- ciied and Steps Taken by Large Prop erty Owners and Inf u enttaI Citizens.
 A meeting of the large property owners and taxpayers owning property between York street and West river was held at 234 Chapel street last evening. There was full attendance and the tone of the meeting could not be mistaken The Hart ford and Harlem road was treated and re- garded by those assembled as great pri- vate speculation, pur ely for the purpose of making money at the cost of private rights. The whole subject was pretty thoroughly discussed and an executive committee of five, consisting of Messrs. J. B. Sargent, F. S. Bradley, B. H. Barnes, George M. Harmon and B G. Stoddard, was appointed to take charge of the matter and use such methods as they should deem proper to protect the property owners interests
 The following resolutions were unanimous 1y passed
 Resolved First, that neither public neces- sity nor convenience demands the laying out or building of steam railroad through the city of New Haven anywhere between the top of the east bank of West river and York street.
 Second. that the attempt to construct a steam railroad through this city between the top of the east bank of West river and York street should be regarded simply as private speculation and entitled to no respect or con- sideration.
 Third, that the promoters of such a spec ulative private enterprise should be regarded and treated as public enemies of the welfare and prosperity of the city of New Haven.
 Fourth, that while we are willing to well come any railroad enterprise which will in- crease the railroad facilities to this city, we claim that such enterprise should be kept under proper control and be subservient to the public good, and that no more damage should be done to private property than is ab- solutely necessary for the promotion of such enterprise.
 There will be another meeting of property holders at an early day when further action will be taken to secure the rights of property holders against the encroachments of the so called railroad corporation.
