DRY GOODS,


A late New York paper says the market
for dry goods has shown more animation
the past week, and the volume Of business
was at least encouraging, if not quite up TO
expectations. There was more activity in
the iobbing branches of the trade than at
any time since the opening of the season,
and while staple and department goods
were distributed in fair quantities by dry
goods jobbers, IA materially increased BUSH
ness was done by the wholesale clothing
houses. There was Il steady demand at
first hands for small reassortments ofdomes-
tics, prints. dress fabrics, ETC., and very fsir
orders were placed for heavy woollens by
clothers and joDbers. The tarif agita.
ton in congress has unfavorably influenced
the demand for foreign goods, and in this
connection buyers continued to operate
with extreme caution and in accordance
with actual wants. The tone ofthe general
market is firm, and stocks are by no means
redundant, in view of the large demand for
consumption that will probably be deyel.
oped as soon as the weather becomes more
spring'like.

HE BUSINESS WORLD
CuNNERClAL


DALLAS, March l0.--lt must be gratifying
TO the business men of this city to witness
the great change which has taken place in
the opinions OF gentlemen who are Offering
to fill the executive and legislative branches
OF our city government after the next an-
nual election. Every candidate who has so
far submitted his name to the voters has
unequivocally announced himself in favor
of ali those material Improvements which
are so much desired, and the want OF which
has no doubt retarded the growth and best
business interests of the city. Some, il not
oil OF the members of the council holding
over assert that they will act in unison with
the wishes of the great majority o! the
people Of the city In regard
TO street improvements, uni
form system of sidewalks and efficient
sewerage. SO far, mono OF the outgoing
members of the council have ANNOUNCED
themselves as candidates for reelection, and
from present appearances the city is to
have new men, who aspire to
the positions, not to crafty
an itching desire for office but because they
each and every one feel that he is honest in
believing that he can do the city good serv-
ice in securing the passage OF such ordi-
nances as Will make Dallas as beautiful in
appearance as she is great in commercial
Importance. The recent action of the pres
ent council in approprating moneys in
secret session for questionable purposes has
created a distIust in the minds OF the citi- |
zens, who will endeavor to elect men to
office who will not candestinely squander
the money collected by taxation from the
poor as well as the rich, and which the tax
payers were credulous enough to believe
would be appropriated for legitimate pur-
poses to support the city government, and
make suCh necessary i'm improvements as were

ON CHANGE.
Prices have settled down to about pres-
ent quotations on the Exchange, and the
fluctuations are only worthy of notice.
From present appearances tie markets for
grain in Chicago and st. Louis are almost OH
an established basis, one day advancing
and the next receding. 1t was thought for
q time that May wheat in st. Louis would
reach $l.25, but the indications now are
that 1t has reached about to its maximum
figure for this season. The same can be
said OF corn and oats. Still rings may be
formed and corners made that for short
time will advance prices, but when the
shorts shall have settled up prices will no
doubt 70 back to old figures.

How Phil. Sheridan Looks.
lCleyeland Leader.

found him this morning in the seat so lately occupied by bluf Tecumseh Sherman. It is one of the best rooms in the war department building. It looks out upon Pennsylvania avenue just across from Corcoran s art gallery, and from it's east windows you have good view of the White House grounds. The room IS large and it is hung with oil p pAintings of western views, the taste of Sherman who liked nothing better than life on the plains. The general sits at a desk in the east end of the room. and Sheridan was sitting there as entered to-day. He rose to meet me and paid my respects and those of the Leadey in due form. Sheridan looks much more like soldier than Sherman. He is very erect though short and fat, and his air IS martial and commanding. He dresses better than Sherman and looks as though he takes more care of his personal appearance. He has large face, broad, full fore head and fat cheeks of dark red. He wears no beard, but his moustache. gray and well-irimmed, is decidedly handsome this new head Of the army. He has a brave look, and, though his face bears maRy a wrinkle, as though much care had devolved upon him, it is very pleas ant one. His eyes form it's chief eharac- ,eristic. They are gray, small and as sharp as needle. They seem to look right through you. and they always look right at you when he is talking. They show you that they have soul behind them, and Il their owner IS angry they can, as the blood and thunder novel says, glare with a look of baleful hate. Gen eral Sheridan has short, stiff, gray hair, smoothly combed, broad shoulders, and short, heavy legs. He would, 1 think, look bigger on horseback than on foot. and l doubt not that as cavalry com mander he presented very striking ap- pearance.

FACTS.

The AnhegSef Busch beer has been on tine market for years and has gained for |, self a reputation for purity and whole soineness which the rapidly increasing demand sustains. This beer was awarded gold medals .l, the Centennial Exposition ln 8To and al tine Paris Exposition in i"z5, and the vast quantity produced and shipped annually by the Anheuser- Busch Biewing Association of S,. Louis is an evidence ot the universal esteem in which their beer is held. Changes of climate. and other influences which tend to make some other brands of beer uawhelesome. have no effect on the Anheuser- Busch It IS shipped 10 every country on the globe where beer Is used as beverage retaining it's strength and wholcsomeness III any latitude

A RETROSPECT.

The fishing season at Faulkner's lake, Arkansaw. has just closed. The keg has run dry and the wild duck futters where few weeks ago the troller's boat split the smooth water. The gay sap-sucker rious camp fire, and the board on which the fried fish and Irish stew were spread, is damp with the cold rain of autumn. In the burning coals at home we look and see the gay company. The glad laugh and the wild shout are echoed in the falling chunks We see the manager, Billy Zeisler, in his boy jacket, hopping around with the lightness of the lawn. An. wonderful man-boy. with a child s leas. on life with the princes generosity, aRd with the warriors mznliness. How that man can fry fish. 'Uh, huh, says the old negro who, with his walking stick and shrunken shank, comes and stands around, sn,iiing the delicious culinary mer IS made enjoyable. Phlegmatic men are transformed into boys. Rheumatism gives place to activity. The names of Boldt, Schwartz, Butler, kupferle, the festive ake, Brookins. Steifel. Sirobh art, Williams Pagan, Whit1ell, Parker, Ea- Ing, and others, are written Tn the sand, and when the summer again comes, the names will arise above the dry grasses and once more call Zeisler's merry lead ership in the bright sunlight of sport. IL was solaoe. |, was redemption from the sweltering days of July and August. How that man can fry fish. The yellow leaves that drift on the lake, the falling cypress balls that fall in the water, the doves that come from the cold plowed land all say How that man can fry fish The lean lack falstaff, who was no, only witty in himself, but was the cause of vi, in others, Billy Leisler, how he can fly fish.
