BAROMETER OF BUSINESS.
Az Index to the Condition Of Trade
Generally.
THE FUTURE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER.
Conditsns In Texas Are Such NJ TO
Warrant a Revival After the
New Yenr-Trnde Notes.
Office Of The Post,
Houston. Thursday. December ls'

Houston. Thursday. December IS
The general trend OF business is dull
which lis due mainly to the Tact that th'
end of the year Is near at hand and M
terror buyers are preparing for their an
nial settlements. However, the holiday
trade Is reasonably good.
AS O rune, merchants expect IL good
trade next year, because Texas should be
In good condition. Although cotton Is
nearly 1iac below last year, the yield Is
between $4,000 and 10000 bales more.
Then, again. the Texas wheat crop this
year amounts to several mliason dollars
In excess Of last year. Last season NIL
Iiors were sent out of the State for corn
and oats which this year remain at home.
Lumber is higher, wool has been adj
va,iced and the live stock industry was
never in better condition.
Al, things considered, there is every
reason to hope for a prosperous year in
1879
