COMMERCIAL,

g. DALLAS, Jund l9..--The market Is notso
strong or active as previously quoted and
prices have declined in grain and bread
stutlj in consequence of the bountiful
yield generally reported. The ravages o.
the careless or web worm prove to be eX-
aggerated In some quarters, while in 9TH
ers there seems 10 be sufficient cause for
the expression Of alarm and uneasiness, a
local dealer, who has labored faithfully to
obtain the correct sentiment of the agri.
culturlsts contiguous to this city with ref
erence TO the worm and its rAvages, con-
cludes from the substance OF his researches
that the alarm Is not unfounded or unwar-
ranted, butattributable to destruction al
ready perpetrated and others
still imminent. Corn has felt

relevant here to mention transaction
coming 70 notice which may be tap-root
leading tomu h complaint INDUCED In by
producers because of the bottom prices Of
fered by our local dealers. Whene person
offers load of corn TO dealer II is a mat
ter of business with him to make the pur-
chase ut as low figure as possible and II is
TO the sellers interest TO guard his indi-
vidual purse, A load of corn was purchased
by dealer this morning at 40t. per bushel.

The way to procure good prices Is TO assert a
wee bit of independence and consult them
all instead of one.
The grocery market Is UNCHANGED entire,
though refined sugar is reported to-day &c
higher in the controlling markets, with a
strong feeling for higher prices In the near
future. The local market has not respond

Dry goods hold easy, but anticipate an

The fruit market is fairly active and

Country produce Is In fair demand, and
butter is scarce and rules high, finding
eager purchasers at 20 cents.
