FORT WORTH. TEX. March p. 1855.
The conditions Of Wholesale and retail
trade in Fort Worth have undergone q
complete reversal in the last twenty-iour
hours, for though yesterday retail mer-
chants had their hands fall and the job
bling trade was comparatively dull, TO- dsy
has been a rather quiet one for retailers
while wholesalers have done fioulishing
business. Small dealers say they do no
expect to do large business until sitter
the Ggriculturists of this section have
completed the lsbors necessary at this
season If the year, for until then they
will be too busy to do any trading.

sales in the stock market were made at
irregular changes from yesterdays final
prices, but declines were in the majority,
snd the market was decidedly weak in
earlJ trading, The decline wss soon
checked, however, and although extreme
sctIvity lasted for over half an hour,
prices quickly recovered, and while the
market remained feverish for most of the
day, steady Improvement took place,
which closed only with the close OF bust
ness. The advance was specially marked
in the last hour, and the close was COM
p1rs.ivsly quiet but q rm to strorg az the
