FORT WORTH, TEX. Nov. IA, 1890.
Trade to-day showed a decided i'm
provement IN every way over the last
few days. To-day the sun came out for
the first time for several days. and the
streets were in good shape and people
who had been housed for the past few
days were out In great numbers, and the
leading retail houses were well crowded
with buyers, and the result was good
sales were made all around.
There is great demand for country
produce on the market now, and dealers
find it no easy going matter to supply
their custom. Shipments are light, and
the supply from the immediate sur
roundlngs has fallen off slightly. The
same may be said of poultry, butter,
eggs, etc.
Cotton receipts to-day by wagon
showed some improvement.
There are but few slight changes in the
general quotations to-day.
