.- GAZETTE oYyI0E,
FORT WORTH. TEX. Feb. q. 1858.
The bad weather has caused slight
falling OF in retail trade to-day, but there
has been no dullness.
Jobbing merchants have had their hands
full, and goods amounting In value to 8
large sum were shipped from the city to-
day.
Butter is now worth zoe per pound.
Eggs are quiet at 10c, but II this
weather continues long they are expected
to go up again.
THE STATE OF TRADE.
There are no uniavorable features of
general trade reported in special teleS
grams to Bradstreet's this week. The
movement of merchandise has been
lighter Or less active only ct Quincy, H.,
Louisville and Pittsburg among the cities
specially reported. At other points 1t
has been moderately active, well maln-
tsiDed OF improved to some extent. At 8
few points, notably Kansas City, Chicago,
St. JJseph and St. Paul, the gains have
been more noticeable. At the
larger eastern centers the increases
have been in s few lines only.
At New Orleans the crop movement has
been lighter owing to exhaustion Of sup
plies, but the weather has been more
favorable fer planting. The reduced rail
rates have greatly stimulated trade at
Kansas City, Davenport and Chicago. Not
only have receipts Of general merchandise
for the week been the heaviest for six
months, but heavy interior cash busi-
ness has been stimulated. Orders for
spring dry goods are being plsced more
freely at eastern centers. Cottons are
strong as ever, snd some mills are behind
on contracts. Prices Of popular brands
are advancing Il Brsdstreet's.

1884, but who has recently moved to Ssr
Diego, CAL, was in the city last night
He is in the real estate business st San

there permanently and likes the country

"In the matter OF superiority, the sd-
vsntsges are entirely with
Texas, Southern California has a
msgn fcent climate, but, In my
opinion, 1t is not equal to thst OF Taylor
county, my former home. BY means Of
irrigation fine fruits and vegetables SIRE
raised In abundance. The boom in real
estate has been worked up by the real
estate agents. Thousands of people
nave settled there, but, candidlv, there
is and has been no legitimate cause for
the boom, and collapse must necessarily
come. Compared with Texas, the lands
are high In price and worthless wi bout
irrigation. Poor men who seek homes
make q mistake in going to California.
In Western Texas aud the Panhandle,
fertile lands that need no irrigation are
cheap, and it is in the power Of every i'm
migrant to get good home. am glad

Hrhere's the objection to California
They have mixed SCHOOLS, and in every
way, the color line Is oblitersted. You
may go to frst-class hotel, yet
have no assurance that the bed you occu-
by WAS not occupied the night before by

went to church soon after we moved TO
California. Not long after she hsd been
seated q burly, black negro walked down
the aisle and seated himself beside her
Not being stoned to such things, she
arose and left the church. Socially, Texas
Is far superior to California "

Columbia, Dak., Feb. 21--Hon. James
A. fletcher, author Of the local option

representative called his attention to the

"Is there any truth in the contention
OF the liquor party of Bismarck that the
local option bill was not properly pass
edp
None whatever. The special to The
Journal etstes the local option bill ORR
ginated in the house and was known as
house bill No. As. The original bill was
referred to it's proper comittee, which
reported back a substitute bill, which of
course, bore the same number as the
original. The house passed the su5sti-
tute and transmitted il to the council.
The council meeting passing the substi-
tute, sent ii back to the house for a
clerical correction. The correction was
made, but by mistake. Tor shrewd work.
the house returned to the council the
original bill, which was passed by the
council and signed by the governor.
Thus she council passed and the COVER
nor signed the original bill which had
never been passed by the house.,
