FORT WORTH. Tex. Sept. II. 1889.
The heavy rains have played smash
with the retail business, and have ma
terialIy affected the wholesale trade.
The latter, however, has not suffered so
much as the former. Trains have been
delayed by washouts, but these will be
repaired in a short time and business will
resume its wonted volume.
Cotton and wheat receipts to-day have
been quite small on account of the re-
cent storms, and it is feared that the cot
ton crop has been somewhat damaged.
There has been no change in quotations
since yesterdays report. Prices for all
commodities being as are given below:
