The conditions Of trade to-day in Fort
Worth have been substantially those Of
yesterday, there being activity in retail
circles, but degree Of sluggishness in
jobbing business attributable to the ap-
proach Of the election.
The receipts OF cotton have been about
$50 bales TO-DAY, with values ranging be-
tween and 75c.
Eggs are plentiful at 1871; butter lie
more scarce al 20;; and chickens are IN
fair supply at S2@2 25.
Wheat holds a. previous value.

Compel ton between the New Orleans,
Charleston and Saysnnsh rice markets is
vary s..f this year. New Orlesns has
sent e great deal of that ceresl into
Carolina and Georgia. The bu OF the
rice crop las not yet b2en marketed.
The crop Is unusually late this season,
owing to the ireshets, and many Of the
planters are holding their rice until it Is
thoroughly dried. Notwithstanding this,
however, the receipts up to this time
have been large, with sales at good prices
and 1t is the opinion that the total crop
will be larger than 1t was last year.

CRAea OF Mistaken Identity

A friend OF the Listeners tells him
this morning that he fances the hero of
the story related yesterday of a lady's
mistaken SalutatlOn of strange man
on the street rs her husband. His story.
however, differs little from that told
yesterday He was walking along
School street when lady took him sud
denly by the arm and eXclaimed: "Did
you ever see such looking thing in
your life:' He looked up, surprised,
and at the same moment made an effort
to escape from the lady familiar grasp.
why, what is the matter with you"
she said: and then she looked very hard
at him, and suddenly dropped his arm
and turned very red. looking around in
complete confusion; and from the haste
with which she joined another gentle
man behind him, the Listeners friend
was convinced that, having become
separated from her escort on the cross
ing, she had mistakenly fixed upon some
one who resembled him physically, to-
wit, himself. As everybody knows,
this is not an infrequent mistake, though
it Is generally discovered before it has
gone so far as this abrupt lady carried
it.
The hero Of this incident, by the way,
relates an odd mistake of his own, of
the same kind. Walking along fremont
street one day, he saw, as he supposed
his sister and his cousin looking in at
the window of picture store, with their
heads very close together. Stepping up
behind them, he playfully put hand on
each of their heads and gently knocked
them together. The two ladies sprang
away in establishment and in very vigor-
Gus resistance. As they tured around
he saw that they were total strangers.
His confusion was so great that the
could not say word; but it must have
told the story just the same, for the
comicality Of the situation at once
dawned on the two ladies, and they be-
gan to laugh heartily. Under the cover
OF their laughter the gentleman beat a
hasty retreat. -BOston Transcript.
