DALLAS, July 23-Looking back 10 the
early days of Dallas, when all the building
were lumber, and all the lumber hauled
from the bayous ON wagons and on OK carts,
and viewing it to-day, with Its costly
structures already occupied ana us more
costly ones being built; taking into the mind
the vast and growing wealth of the city, ilG
influence on the state and its status IN dis
tant lands, amazement IS the result OF Sucil q
reconnaissance. Blocks, last year vacant
commons, this yeu are sites of residences,
eumplete in the details of comfortable az
rangement and adorned with devices 81
architecture. such as causes strangers tOStare,
for peuple of the East and North refuse to be-
heve until they behold the advances Dallas Is
so rapidly making. The citizens themselves
those who reside hcre-are In many eases un-
aware of the benuty and the solid growth the
last twelve months has brought. y buggy
drive over the entire corporation will reveal,
on any day, a startling story of progress. And
now Dallas, having built herself, is building
other cities. IN the West, towns are spring
ing up, every piece of timber, every pane Of
glass, every nail and every door-ocll Of
which was handled by q Dallas dealer and
sent to the spot by trains over railways
which, without Dallas, would never yield a
dividend. The reader far away may accept

Advices from the United Kingdom state
that owing to adequate importations and ia
liberal supplies of produce atloat, together
with the fineness of the weather, the wheat
trade has been very quiet, but without mute
rial change in prices. Millers are operating
cautiously, and are only supplying actual
wants. They pursue that policy because in Il
few weeks, time they expect to have offered
To them Selection OF excellent wheat which
they hope to purchase on very moderate
terms. The wheat crop In the southern couu.
ties of England Is rpening rapidly, bul the
rain which Is now falling in the London dis
trict, and which we are officially informed Il
not likely 10 be protractedly heavy, will b,
calculated to check an advance to hasty ma
thrifty, and will not only benefit wheat, bu
will also be OF great bencht TO the later-SOw1
crops. Not only is there no reason for de
spondency, but on the contrary II hspefu
view should be taken OF the future.
