Fort WORTH. TEX. Aug. II. is1n.
Trade was brisk in all lines again to-day, no
one complaining Of dullness. There were
great many farmers and country folk generally
in the city to-day, and after dlsposing OF the
various products which the majority OF them
brought they ratronized the merchants quite
extensively. The first cotton OF the season was
disposed of on the Fort Worth market to-day
there being three bales-all arriving about the
same hour Monday evening. The cotton was
classed as strict middling and brought lOc. One
OF the bales was auction ed at loo The general
produce ma kets were flirly well supplied To-
Gay With all commodities, ana there are no
changes to note. Wholesale merchants repoIt
trade good, both in and out OF the city.
The Dry Goods Economist (New York)ln com
menting upon the trade throughout the country
and the Gu look there, says business has De
veloped great activity, but the feeling IS tnat
the fall trade will be large. The loboers report
a good demand and their season may be SAID 70
have opened. The packing and shipping de-
partments have reflected more activity tnan az
any time since the middle OF June, and tine
presence of many buyers is an assurance lhat
others will follow tn m rapidly. from Nortn,
Middle and extreme Western markets. brilliant
reports have been made of the trade IN progress
which have been supported Dy the orders 10 the
resident representatives of all markets for spe-
cal assortments of staple and fancy goods by
fast freight.
Cotton has been In limited demand and only
for such quantities as will carry manufacturers
to the new crop. Spot quotations are un-
changed us compared with week ago, but the
market is stronger at l2lc or micd!ing uplands.
Cotton goods have been quiet, still Irregular
purchases and recorders by ali markets have re-
turned larger volume OF business than Eener-
ally supposed. Prices current are very steady.
Wool has shown no improvement, though OF
some sorts free sales have been made. The
market is a waiting ons and more in favor OF
BUYERS than sellers.
Wooden goods have done fairly well in the
layirg-out of orders for spring. Through
buyers on the spot and from statesmen on tine
road the transactions have reached a large ag-
gregate.
