GALVESTON. TEXAS, J,
Thursday Evening, Sept. 30, 1875.»
Trade has not been activs to-day, and it
scarcely ever is on the last day of the
month. There aro a few buyers In tho city,
but tho bulk of business has been done on
orders. The aggregate of the month'* busi-
ness would have been very heavy but for the
damage done to railroads by the storm; and,
as the total stands, interrupted almost in the
middle of the month, the entire sales of mer-
chandise give an amount greater than the
total for the corresponding month of last
year.
This is a little remarkable when from the
principal business centers of the whole coun-
try complaints of dull trade and a plethora of
unemployed capital have been unccasing, and
commercial writers have been busy with the
task of supplying solutions of the gentral de-
pression in monetary as well as in trading and
manufacturing circles.
The New York Shipping List says of
FINANCE AND TRADE.
In some branches of trade, notably season
able manufactured goods, there is a moderate
degree of activity, but the aggregate of busi-
ngs la considerably below the usual Septem-
ber average, and discouraging reports are
hoard throughout mercantile circles. While
UM re<;ent failures have not disturbed the
commercial world, generally, as much as
might have beon expected, and as would
have been tho case had not tho country for
two years bean curtailing expenses, yet
they have created a degree of distrust
which is exceedingly detrimental to busi-
ness enterprises or all kinds. Solvent dis-
t ributing merchants persistently adhere to
the hand-to-mouth policy, while manufactur-
ers and importers are extremely cautious to
whom they sell. Meanwhile stocks in first
hands are, in most cases, unwieldy, notwith-
standing the comparatively moderate rate of
production and Importation during tho year,
and prices aro low and not unfreqaently be-
low the point which leaves a profit to tho pro-
ducer.
INFLATION OR ('HEAP MONEY AND ITS
DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES.
What inflation or "cheap money" loads to
has been abundantly demonstrated by finan-
cial history. The French assignatsof tho last
century became so "cheap " that it required
$100 to $100 of them to purchase an article
worth no more than $1 in gold. Our own Con-
tinental monoy a hundred yearn ago was so
"cheap " that $100of it was equivalent to but
91 in silver. Coming down to modern times,
it required a bushel of Confederate currency
to purchase a loaf of bread. In the course
time all of these forms of "cheap"
money became entiroly worthies-, lead-
in*, ss a matter of course, to great
losses and distress. Tbe Inflationists to-day
pretend to believe that if enoagh bills were
printed, based upon nothing, the country
would be made rich. The lesson is, that,
whether men will bear, or whether they will
forbear, the laws of trade, of political econ-
omy, of national growth in wealth, can not
bo violated with Impunity What these laws
nro Is as easily to be understood as it is that
if one earn two thousand dollars a year, and
spends three thousand dollars a year, ho is
liming property; and if another earn two thou-
sand and spends one thousand a year, ho is
getting ahead in the world.
There has been nothing notable to reptfrt
from business centers to-day. Gold closes
X lower In Now York than bat evening, but
sterling did not improve, ana the movement
in the cotton market has been restricted.
Domestic exchange is lower, and commercial
or bill of lading bills were not taken by the
banks at better than *£o. discount for New
York, and %<s. for New Orleaas.
COTTON.
Sales to-day 601) bales, last evening 207 bales;
total 887 bales. The Exchange makes no
changc in prices, but reports a weak market.
Tho demand was not general, and tho sales
wore confined to three brokers.
