THE BUSINESS WORLD.
COMMERCIAL,

DALLAS, Oct. l.-Under the impetus given
by renewed interest In cotton, business has
generally revived The indications are
strongest In groceries, but everything IN
more cheerful than has been the case for
many weeks There is steady demand for
lumber in the rough MS wen AS the finished
productions of the sash and door
factories. Ready made houses are frequently
sold here on orders from western counties.
The planning mills are working on full time.
In dry goods, distribution is beginning to
show up somewhat equal TO the expectations
oft dealers. v inter goods are in stock
although so far, buyers have not inclined
beyond autumn patterns. Fuel Is In excel
lent demand. Cord wood and coal
In being stored for the cold
months now nearly at hand Perhaps the
largest stock of books and stationary ever
before seen in n Texas city have been brought
on by Dallas dealers. The toy dealers are
nlling up for holidays already, and all sorts
of ornamental goods are showlly displayed In
the windows of houses devoted to those
matters. The autumn clip caught up with
the spring wool. Heavy stocks of both are
unsold, and that staple Is sadly depressed
Hides are beginning TO Improve again. This
will not be Tie case to anl great extent until
the tanners gel rid of the great stocks OF
leather on hand.

THE SHOW IN NEW ORLEANS.

4E2E SkAO " EN NEW OALEANSs
 The New Orleans exposition, which is to be opened on the 16th of next month is a centennial affair and will, it is declared excel the centennial show of 1876 in many respects
 The central idea of the projectors was the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of the cotton trade by the shipment of eight bales from Charleston to England in 1784; but, like snowban rell- ing along the ground, the project has grown to such large proportions that the original idea has been lost sight of and now it is to be a universal exhibition, like it's predecessor, in the scope and variety of it's exhibits, in cluding every product of nature or of art from every country and every age. The buildings are of enormous dimensions, cov- ering greater area than those of any worlds fair previously held. Their situation is the upper city park, an agreeable pleasure ground of two hundred and fifty acres, near the river bank, made picturesque by groves of live oaks. The chief building is greater by one half than the main building at Philadelphia It is ,378 feet long and 905 feet broad, the largest iron building in the world. The other great structures are the government building, the machinery and horticultural halls, all larger than those for corresponding purposes at Philadelphia. So many have been tho responses to the invitations to exhibit that there will be no empty spaces in these vast buildings. The United States exhibit Is very elaborate, costing $500, GOO All the States will be represented and most of them have made appropriations and have taken that their industries and products are adequately represented. A department of women's work, presided over by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, will be full of interest. Twenty foreign nations have sent contributions, and some of them will be the most comprehsn- sive and complete exhibits of the resources of those countries ever brought together. This is especially true of Mexico. Of course, manufacturers, inventors, artists, natural ists, cultivators of social science, and men of various other pursuits, will bring their contributions to the great and varied dis play.
 Beginning in January, and continuing through the remaining five months, there will be series of lectures in Music Hall Ca sub division of the main building) on subjects
 appropriate for the occasion, such as the Mississippi river, the Tehuantepec ship rail- way, the Nicaragua ship canal, the Panama
 ship canal, the progress of Mexico, the Span ish-American republics, etc., etc., all of which, it is expected, will have fine effect in turning attention toward the new and inn portant questions which will hereafter occu-
 py the public mind. Among the fruits which the exposition may be expected to
 bear are the encouragement and stimulation of industry in the South, and an increased internal commerce between our States, the softening or abatement of sectional animosi- ties, and the enlargement of our field of for eign commerce.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There are signs that business is about to improve. Business can stand improvement.
 The Rev. Dr. Burchard's two sons voted for Cleveland. It is great pity that their father was not Cleveland man. Still, he did the best he could for the man his sons voted for.
 Occasionally something happens to show that this is pretty serious world. A woman whose son had been ruined by dissipation was fined two dollars in Hamilton, Ontario, days in jail, because she knelt before a sa- loon and asked God to curse the liquor traffic.
 Mr. Clevelands friends are already talking about another term for him. But they fer get that he is unalterab1y opposed to any such thing. In his letter of acceptance MT. Cleveland urged a constitutional amendment against the re-eligibi1ity of President and added: sFWe recognize in the eligibility of the President for reelection 8 most serious danger to that calm, deliberate and intelh- gent political action which characterizes a government by the people"
 The efCapital vs Labor" question Is of un- ending interest in all countries. Next Janu- ary there is to be held in the city of Edin- burgh Scotland, 8 conference of artisans, capitalists and persons interested in the study of social problems to discuss from every point of view the questions connected with the distribution of the results of labor ba+rvaoy, tho ooH11oI 1uor1rara and fbooo ay1T,- plying the capital. A gentleman of Edin- burgh has given $5,000 toward carrying out l the proposed programme.
 The city of Cleveland is discussing tn. question of coeducation at Adslbert college 1 Two of the faculty presented memorial tt l the trustees asking that date might b' fixed after which no more girls should b. admitted. The chief reason alleged was tn | fear that young men would be prevented from entering the college if they knew i took in girls. A committee wrote to educa
 tors all over the country asking their opinion
 and finally presented two reports to the trus
 tees, 8 majority report of five in favor of tn
 girls, and minority report of two agains
 them. The trustees, twelve to six, decide
 in favor of the girls. Their action was base
 chiefly on the fact that all the opinions un
 favorable to coeducation were from institu
 tions that did not admit girls, while all tha
 did admit them declared coeducation sue
 cess.
 Of all the trade-unions in this country th
 Amalgamated association of iron and ste'
