Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1888-11-24

IherS Two ISSSO1s iJE llls IN my
opinion. First, Is that the crops in DGl-
las county were quite inferior this year,
and the second is, the increase in
competition. There ere more retail
shops in DAilas than there is living
trade for. Every man that gets hundred
dollars ahead is inspired by the laudsble
ambition to be Independent, and he sc
cordinely opens some little shop. Il Is
true that tina mor;slity of such shops is
enormous, but they spring up 81 even 8
greater rate than they die out. OF course,
the fsct that cotton receipts are now only
be 40 600 and so 0C0, hiss much 10 do with
the shrinksge in retail trade.
