THE BUSINESS WORLD
COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS, June THE envy and jealousy
manifested by residents OF other cities IN
Texas, when speaking OF Dallas, is but an
evidence that this city is outstripping them
all in the race for commercial greatness.
The malicious darts hurled at the business
men and the business OF Dallas are only OBJ
jects of derisiye contempt, for they are i'm.
potent for harm, and only add to the al
ready acquired importance OF the city. A
prominent citizen of city not very remote
from this point remarked TO resident OF
Dallas, that he could select three men IN
his city who would contribute more in one
hour To any important public matter than
could be coaxed out of the whole popula,
ton of Dallas in week. This was bold
assertion to make. but probably when those
three individuals contribute as much as has
been done by some of the enterprisins citi-
zens of Dallas, they will have little LETT to do
nete to the next improvement inaugurated.
If Dallas has arrived to her present status
without any liberalty or enterprise on the
part of her people, then is her growth
truly phenomenal. But the reverse is the
truth. Her people know that great cities
are not built without liberal expenditure
OF capital and energy, and whenever pub
lie enterprise OF merit Is inaugarated they
have not been found wanting. The remark
made by paper that Dallas was THE
great city of pretensions and failures, and
closes its wOuld-be- witty paragraph by say
ing the last failure is the cotton factory is
ily worthy of the source from which it
emanated. The cotton factory is not
failure hut il will DE erected, and that soon.
1t would be difficult to induce the members
of the press association who visited this
city last month to believe that the people
of Dallas were not liberal and enterprising
and the very ilattering encomiums paid by
them to Dallas and her people fully attest
this fact. But Dallas and her people are
serene. the city will continue to grow and
expand long after the envy and hate OF her
traducers have become forgotten, ana the
authors Of all these spitetul sayings have
passed out ofmind.
GRAIN AND BREADsTUFFS.
The southern wheat crop increased IRON
81 600 bushels In 1873 to 81 600 600 bush,
els in 1880. This shows the rapid strides of
the south toward food independence OF the
north.
The Mark Lane Express, in review OF
the grain trade during the past week, says
The brilliant weather of the past week has
had beneficial effect on the crops Wheat
is strong and healthy. The demand was
nominal and the supply moderate. Prices
are rather lower. Foreign wheat is dull
and lifeless. The retail demand was some.
what weaker. The best grades OF flour are
steady, but others are somewhat easier.
Foreign i.snr Id unchanged. Inc hnesi
grades are firm American is uns0und and
almost unstable. Barley and oats are I'M
changed. The same may be said of foreign
barley. Oats In large supply and slow.
Maize is in bad condition and prices are
higher, but the market Is fiat. Oli-coast
cargoes are few. There were ten arrivals
aud four sales. A dozen cargoes are due

the corresponding week last year.
For the first time in fifteen years grain
arriving in New York is being stored In
stead Of being Immediately shipped to
Great Britain and the continent by vessels
previously chartered. MIR. Harrison s.
Vining, chiei Of the bureau of inspection OF
the national board OF Marine Underwriters,
states that there Is not at the present time
q single vessel In the port of New York
loading with grain for either Great Britain
or the continent, and very few charterid
steamers. In TACT, the grain-carrying trade
Is so remarkably dull that shippers are
doing almost absolutely nothing. Last
month but 10 vessels left New York with
gram, OF WnlCh 10 went TO PORTUGAL Win
grain in bags, the demand in that country
being tor very low grades. Up to within
couple of years at least 100 grain-laden yes
sells departed for Europe each year during
the month of May. The cause of this fall
ing Off is attributed in shipping circles to
the speculation in options on change.
