Tubs jay Evening, August 1, 1877.
Trade shows some life and grocers are do-
ing a fair amount of business on orders. Pro-
visions are quiet and bacon is lower. Hams
are also marked back a fraction. Flour is
unchanged. Wheat is firmer and the demand
is active. All offerings have been promptly
bought up at enhanced valuations.
The cotton market continues in a dull and
depressed condition. The advices are uni*
formly adverse, and Liverpool opened, after
the lapse of a couple of holidays, dull and
lower for both spot and arrivals.
THE FIRST BALE FROM COLUMBUS.
Messrs. Cannon & Williams received the
first bale of cotton from Colorado county to-
day. It was raised and shipped by James A
Seymour and F. A. Tanner, who have twelve
hundred acres under cultivation near Colum-
bus.
THE WORM IN COLORED A. COUNTY.
Judge J. W. Johnson, writing from Colum-
bus under date of 5th inst., to Mr. P. H. EH
hard, of this city, says that the damage done
to the cotton by the worm in Colorado county
is already very great and adds that 44 at least
one-half has been destroyed, owing to the
scarcity of poison." He thinks the crop will
be reduced to on*-fourth. The poison does
not ^prevent the worms from hatching, there,
fore it has to be reapplied whenever they re
appear. Judge Johnson states that he pois
oned some portions of his crop three times.
BANKRUPTCY NOTES.
A. W. Andrews, Esq , Register in Bankrupt
cy for the Eastern District of Texas, in his
consolidated report for the year's business
ending June 30th, supplies the following inter-
esting items:
No. of compulsory cases
Amount of assets of bankrupts
therein $243,187 66
Amount of liabilities of the bank-
rupts 413,749 12
Amount of dividends declared—
In composition 108,932 37
By assignee 159 58
Average rate ten per cent of divi-
dends declared therein 37 66
By assignee, 15 per cent One case
The liabilities of the six voluntary bank
rupts amounted to $149,795 65. The assets
were estimated at $20,214 84 good, and $54.
315 08 valueless. There was but one dividend
declared ia these six cases, and it was only
13 per cent. In the nine involuntary or com-
pu'sory cases of bankruptcy, the assets
amounted to $243,187 66, and the liabilities
were $413,749 42.
The Bankrupt law, as amended in|'June,
1874, provides that a composition, or compro-
mise, may be effected between the creditors
and the bankrupt even after a case has gone
into court, and it will be observed that the
dividends in such cases were large, amounting
to 37 66 per cent., whereas the only dividend
declared by the assignee was in one case, and
the total was only $159 58. or 15 per cent.
Another important feature ie the diminished
fees realized by the register, which in all the
cases above enumerated did not amount to
one thousand dollars.
COTTON.
The Liverpool spot market ruled dull and
easier at 1-16 dec'ine, with sales of 7000 bales.
Arrivals closed weak.
'J he New York spot market ruled dull at

ners. Futures declined, but closed steady,
with sales of 47,100 bales.
The New Orleans market closed easy at
decline, with sales of 300 bales.
In this market sales of only 16 bales were
reported. The ifxchan^e reduced quotations
'H*. on all grades bei -w goo i middling, which

market as closing •* weak."

8th of May last I obtained an injunction from
Judge J. F. Daly, of the Court of Common
Pleas for the C ty and County of New York,
against a person staling herself "Madame
Gouraud," restraining her from 44 selling,
transferring, interfering with or in any man-
ner disi osing of the goods, chattels, Proprie-
tary articles, and trade mar«s of the late Dr.
T. Felix Gouraud." This enjoins the sa e of

my deceased father. I have therefore to
warn the trade against purchasing from the
said "Madame Gouraud" any of said pre-
parations, or from dealing in the same during
the continuance of the said injunction.
Meanwhile my 44 Olympian Cream" is free
from legal entanglement, and my right to its

PK«»CL*IttATION.
To all to whom these presents shall come:
Whereas it has ihis day come to my j
knowledge that J. J. Groos, Commissioner of I
the General Land Office of the State of Texas, 1
did, on thte 16th day of July, 1877, in opposition i
to my solemn official protest in writing and
his own official assurances given me and the
Attorney General in writing, issue, in the name
of John H. Gibson, contractor for opening
and cleaning out the Bernard river, four hun-
dred and forty-six land certificates, each for
six hundred and forty acres of land; and also
to said Gibson, as contractor for cleaning out
Caney, one hundred and twelve land certifi-
cates, each for six hundred and forty acres of
land; in all five hundred and fir'ty-eight land
certificates of six hundred and forty acres j
each.
Said certificates for cleaning out the Ber-
nard are numbered from 1 to 446 inclusive,
and for cleaning out Caney are numbered
from 417 to 538 inclusive. These certificates
were delivered by said commissioner to A. M.
Hobby, which certificates were issued con- I
trary to law and without consideration to the
State.
Therefore, I, R. B. Hubbard, Governor of
the State of Texas, do issue this my procla-
m tion forewarning all persons whomsoever
from pnrchasing or otherwise dealing in said |
certificates, as the patents for the same will
not be issued.
In testimony whereof I hereto sign n
name and cause the seal of the State to be i
fixed at the city of Austin, this 21st day of I
July, 1877. R. B. HUB BAR l>. Governor.

In offering planters the
GRIP TIE, the following advantages are
claimed for it: simplicity of application,
eater strength both of the Tie and of the
ind, close adjustment and freedom from slip,
which prevent any expansion of the bale, and
the impossibility of removing the Band with-
out cutting it.
The award of the Highest Premium by the
Texas State Fair to the GRIP TIE over the
Arrow and all other competitors, is simply an
indorsement cf the opinion expressed by all
Planters who have used it, as can be shown
by letters and certificates in our possession.
Arrangements have been made for the man-
ufacture of Bands of superior quality, and in
sufficient quantity to supply any demand, and
for the present the price will be $2 50 per bun-
dle, of thirty bands each.
The recent reduction in the price of ties was
probably due to the competition of the GRIP
TIE, and as we offer a superior article at tbe
same price, we trust dealers and consi mers
will recognize our claim to a fair share of pa-
tronage.

Cotton Worm
Interesting Correspondence.
RTessrs. Preston & Itobira, Galves-
ton :
Gents—I have long since been satisfied of
the efficacy of your 44 Texas Cotton Worm De-
stroyerbut have waited until this time to be
sure of there being no doubt, as it was killed
byfrost on the 10th instant.
The Poison 1 received was put up in paper
boxes, contaiLing five pounds, a measure
therein for 40 or 42 gallons of water. I dis-
covered the worms near the last of August in
considerable force in a cut of level bottom
land, (late cotton,) containing 20 acres. I wrote
to you for the remedy. I received it on the
30th of August. On the 1st of September I
apnlied it to five acres of the above cut, as the
worms had made such ravages in the interval
that there were not leaves enough left on the
rest of it to hold the poison.
MY MODE OF APPLICATION
was as follows: I had a large mule hitched to a
cart, in which I placed a 52 gallon barrel filled
with water, and placed therein two (2) meas-
ures of the poison, a driver in front. I took
my stand in the rear of the barrel with a
"Fountain Pump," directed the driver to
proceed. We straddled one row and sprinkled
four rows on each side, making nine rows
at a time, which the pump did easily, and thus
I passed over the five acres in a thorough
manner. I found in leaving a little water in
the barrel each t'me that about the third time
filling two measures was too strong, and blis-
tered the leaves a little. I afterward emptied
the water out each time and used the two
measures without injury,
In passing to the cotton I was sprinkling
from the spring I had to pass through a piece
eaten entirely up, with the exception of eight
rows next the fence, which was green, but
somewhat ragged, and worms working vigor-
ously. I concluded to test it on that, which I
did, and it stopped the worms, and it contin-
ued to bloom and bear until frost, as did all
of the cotton I sprinkled with your 44 Texas
Worm Deltroyer." I found very few worms
dead, but they stopped eating, and the cotton
is now bending down with bolls. I have no
doubt but earlier in the season a second
sprinkling would be necessary on account of
the new growth.
Many persons speak of your remedy—some
for, some against. I can only say what it has
done for me.
Kvery acre I sprinkled
bloomed and bore until front, «n
every acre I did not sprinkle hhn
eaten up entirely by tlie worm by
tlie 5 tli of September.
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully your
obedient servant, JAMES E. HADEN.
CM Springs, Tex., Nov. 13,1876.
Mr. Jagers, an old farmer, and the most
thorough connoisseur in worms, gives his
statement in his own words, as also Dr. J. A.
Dupree:
I was on Capt. Haden's premises, and saw
the cotton ten days atper sprinkling. It was
then green and blooming and doing well. I
also noticed very particularly (that being mv
object in going to see it) that it was not shed-
ding, as some Of the poisons cause it to do.
