A New House.—Mr. J B. Collins, late
of Jefferson, has opened in this city for the
purpose of doing a general commission busi-
ness. His advertisement will be found in
ant ther column. Mr. Collins is well known
in Texas, a. d we the following from
the Jefferson Daily JimplecuU of the4thinst.:
"Our friend and most enterprising citizen,
J. B. Collins, hide and wool dealer, has recov-
ered from his protracted illness and leaves to-
night for lialveHton, where he will open a
house. Sir. Collins has done an extensive
business in our city for live years, during
which time ho has won a high reputation as a
first-class business man, and leaves a clear
record and many friends here. We hate to
1o-h him, and can assure the Island Ciry that
in him she may safely count on a most live,
reliable and entei prising gentleman. We wish
him unbounded success."

Transporting Freight.—The Street
Railway Company have recently been
transporting freight, goods and wares on
a car arranged tor that purpose, and
which has been running over the vari-
ous lines operated by the company. Yes
terday the company was cited to appear
in one of the courts and ahow cause why
it should not pay license for transporta-
tion of freight. The attorney for the
company showed that this was under
taken owing to the difficulty of mer
chants procuring dravage on account of
bad streets. The case was dismissed,
and the matter of taxing the company's
freight car referred to the Board of A1
dermen.
IIkavy Finks.—Yesterday Jteeorder
Duncan visited three or four of the
negro cyprians of Vinegar Hill with
pretty lieavv fines—steep enongh,in fact,
to induce better behavior on the part of
the miserable wretches who inhabit that
iniquitous locality. Phillis Johnson and
Fanny Williams, who were convicted of
fighting on the Hill, were fined $.50 ami
costs, and in default of payment, ordered
to the county jail. Another duo of the
Milesian residents of the locality, Caro-
line Kogers and Frances Connor, arrested
for fighting also, were each treated to a
fine of $100, and, in default, to go to jail.
The consternation of the cyprians was
great.
Knights of Pvthias.—The subject of
the address of Vice Chancellor Sam W.
Small before the members of the above
order at their castle hall Wednesday
evening, was an expo-ition of the three
great cardinal principles of the order,
Friendship, Charity and Benevolence.
The hall was crowded, notwithstanding
the state of the streets, and Mr. Small's
address was listened to with much inter
est, particularly by members of the order.
After the address a regular meeting of
the lodge was held.
Demi monde9 in Court.— Yesterday
Mollie Lewis and Maude Melville, twoof
Houston's most notorious demi-mondes,
were arraigned in the Criminal Court on
a charge of keeping disorderly houses—
one east of Union depot, the other on
Chart reps street. Several witnesses were
brought up and sworn by the State to
prove the fact, and the Criminal District
Attorney and the counsel for the defend-
ants engaged in heavy and spirited
" sparring " on the case, which attracted
a large crowd to the court-room, as al-
ways happens when a social evil case is
to be tried.
miscellaneous.
Yesterday was another beautiful, sun-
shiny day, and almost spring like.
An affidavit was sworn out against one
Johp Wingfield, yesterday, charging him
with aggravated assault on a female.
A fellow disturbed the Criminal Court
yesterday by whistling. The offendei;
was ordered under arrest by the Judge,
but couldn't be found.
Maj. VandegalT was still in charge of
the Sheriff and his deputies at noon yes-
terday, up to which hour nothing further
hud been done in his case.
Two men, each bearing the name of
Welch, were caught asleep yesterday
morning on some salt sacks on Travis
street. The enoozers were taken along
to|police headquarters.
An affray occurred in a negro neigh-
borhood north of the bayou yesterday,
wherein three wenches participated,
two of whom fought like amazons in a
inud hole, and were parted by a third.
Eugene Pillott, Eeq., is to build a three

Another military company, to be com-
posed of fix-footers only, is to be organ-
ized to-morrow evening. If it will be
composed of as good material and present
as Jtine an appearance as the Light
(iuards, it will do very well.
Two suspicious characters were arrest-
ed by a detective of this city, calling
themselves Stuart and Green ; the former
having the unmistakable look of a " pro-
fessional," and the latter having been
known to the detectives in New York
twelve years ago as a regular shop-lifter.
Both hailed from that city. They were
released on promise of leaving the city
immediately, which they pretended to do
by taking the evening steamer for Gal-
veston.

There may be seen daily, on Chest-
nut street, says the Philadelphia Bul-
letin, a man dressed in faultless appa-
rel, with a great diamond upon his
breast, vainly endeavoring to outglitter
the magnificent solitaire on his finger.
In a German university he learned
chemistry, and not even Liebig knows
it better. His occupation is the mixing
and the adulteration of liquors. Give
him a dozen casks of deodorized alco-
hol, and the next day each one of them
will represent the name of a genuine
wine or a popular spirit. lie enters a
wholesale drug store, bearing a large
basket upon his arm. Five pounds of
Iceland moss are first weighed out to
him. To raw liquor this imparts a
degree of, smoothness and oleaginous-
ness that gives to imitation brandy the
glibness of that which is most matured.
An astringent called catechu, that
would almost close the mouth of a glass
inkstand, is next in order. A couple of
ouucesof strychnine, next called for,
are quickly conveyed to the vest pock-
et, and a pound of wine vitriol is as
silently placed in the bottom of the
basket. The oil of cognac, the sul-
phuric acid, and other articles that
give fire and body to the liquid poison
are always kept in store. The mixer
buys these things in various quarters.
They are staples of the art.
The Hannibal Clipper has this to say
of the excursion to Texas, which was
to have started from Missouri on the
ninth instant:
The train will leave Hannibal at 7:20
Tuesday evening, the 9th ingt. Tickets
to all points on the road will be sold at
half-fare rates, to Galveston and return
costing only $40. The train will be sup
plied with elegant passenger coaches,
and no pains will be spared to make the
trip agreeable. Kemeaib«r this is just
the season to visit Texas, and instead of
the cold blasts and the desolation of win
ter, you will find her boundless prairies
covered with verdant green. There will
be on the train parties from Danville, To-
lono, Decatur and Springfield, who will
be joined by other parties at Fort Scott,
Parsons, Ctietopa, Humboldt, Emporia.
Junction City and Sedalia. Tickets will
be good to return for forty days, and may
be used for that purpose any day. We
trust that a number of our citizens will
avail themselves of this rare opportunity
to visit the Lone Star State, and while en
joying the pleasure of the excursion, at
the same time, in a certain measure,
make more secure their own and the city'B
business interests.
Mu. Walter C. Hood, late State
Librarian of Ohio, did not want any
nonsense at his funeral. He left very
explicit directions as to his burial in
writiDg. Among the provisions for
the event were the following:
The coffin to be plain, unvarnished
wood. He forbade all ornamentation,
even brass nails. No funeral notices
to be sent out. He says, let the obse
quies be decent, certainly, but without
display or an item of needless expense.
COMMERCIAL.
GALVESTON, TEXAS, I
Thursday Evening, February 11, 1875.1
A return of bright, pleasant weather
gratifies the senses and lends a stimulus
to business. The movement in our gen
eral market continues active—staple gro
ceries and hardware still having the call
Country advices indicate that Tues-
day's rain was a hard one and extended
over a wide area—pretty much general
In the lower portion of the State, plough
ing, which was in progress, has been sus-
pended, awaiting a drying off, which
will soon come, if Old Probabilities
sticks to to-day's weather. Predictions
are rife of a late Spring and tardy plant-
ing. Such may be the result, but there
is very little in present indica-
t:ons to warrant the prophecy, and
in the main it may be deemed little more
than assumption. The planting last year
was a late one, beset with unusual dilfi
cultiep. Nevertheless, the outcome was
strong, and the propitiousness of the
growing season went so far towards re-
trieving the drawbacks of planting that
in July the crop prospect was one of the
best ever known, and but for the August
and September drouth there is no telling
what a crop Texas would have made.
There is nothing yet to j ustify the as-
sertion that planting will be late, in the
post helium sense, and even if planting
be retarded it does not necessarily follow
that the crop will be poor, though un
doubtedly its risXs will be augmented.
There is reason in all things. It is
rather premature to begin to preach short
crop for 1875. This may be a legitimate
theme for belaborment in the New York
Cotton Exchange, where futures are be-
ing sold for delivery next Septem-
ber, but: people less prescient as to
futurity have little occasion to cudgel—
common sense about the matter—cer-
tainly less than those commercial harle-
quins who live by the tumble and de
pend far their bread and butter upon the
plausibility of ilielr gossamer luglc. No
human being can tell as yet whether the
planting will be early or late—nor
whether it will be large or small, and
the discussion is simply the sublimest of
twaddle. Still some wiseacres are exer-
cising themselves about it.
Our cotton market is easier to-day.
Prices are no lower, but factors are more
ready sellers, and the spread on Bample
tables is larger. The look of Liverpool
is not as encouraging as expected, and
the home markets are- quieter, to say
nothing of the incontinent up and down
in the New York future market, which
goes for naught. Gold, too, shows a dis-
position to ease down somewhat, though
the wise say that the tendency for some
time ahead is apt to be upward. This
may be so, and by human possibility
it may not be so. Gold is not money
now a days, but is a commodity just the
same as cotton and corn and potatoes,
and just as absolutely dependent upon
demand and supply. Sterling Exchange
in.New Yew "iork has followed gold and
come down a modicum. All these con-
siderations have weighed somewhat witn
factors, who, though not afraid, prefer a
prudent realization to the risk of going
further and faring worse.
The Cotton Exchange telegrams report
the specie decrease in the Bank of Eng-
land for the week ending to-day £467,-
000—the amount withdrawn to-day be-
ing £19,000. The proportion of reserve
to liabilities is stated at 42$ per cent.,
against 43i per cent, last week. The
minimum rate of discount however re-
mains unchanged—at 3 per cent.—
the Bank authorities doubtless con-
cluding to take the risk of a further
drain, rather than surrender thedisconnt
market altogether to the private and
; oint stocK banks, which now give ac
commodation £ per cent, below the offi-
cial minimum. On the other hand, there
seems to be no end to the absorbent ca-
pacity of the Bank of France, which has
gained, for the week ending to-day, the
handsome sum of 72,021,000 francs.
Though business in our general market
has been fair to-day, there have been no
changes of consequence, save a slight
decline in gold and a further decided
advance in hides. The hide improve-
ment is due partly to the stronger tone
of the New York market, and partly to
the keenness of the local competition,
Prices have advanced another £c., both
Hint and wet salted participating in the
gain. The demand, however, is not gen-
eral among dealers, some of them being
■hut out of the market by their limits
since the advance of the past few days.
The Manchester Guardian thus com
ments on the lowering of the Bank rate
from 5 to 4 per cent., which occurred on
the 18th of January :
Owing to the large falling off in their
discount business, caused by the great
disparity between the official and open
market rates of discount, the Directors of
the Bank of England have resolved to-
day to lower their minimum rate of dis-
count from 5 to 4 per cent. The majority
of the public were not altogether pre-
pared for another reduction of 1 per cent,
this we k, but at the same time it was
evident that the movement could not be
long delayed. Considering, therefore,
that the open market rates were 1 per
cent, beneath those current at the Bank,
the Directors must be accounted wise
in adopting the only course possible to
secure a larger share of the lim-
ited discount business in progress
It will be seen by the Bank returns that
the total of " other securities " has been
diminished by «a much fas £2,370,000,
and that it is now only about £1,700,000
less than at this period last year, and
£3,770,000 less than in 1873. Evidence
is therefore afforded of the limited re-
quirements at the present .time of the
mercantile community, and it is probable
that there will be no material improve-
ment until the spring trade shall have
been fairly commenced. The supply of
bullion held by the Bank is larger than
had been anticipated, and indicates,
therefore, that coin is returning from
provincial circulation. The proportion
of reserve to liabilities, which was last
week 40 per cent., is now nsarly 45J per
cent.
The same journal, in another column,
says:
The Economist says that it can not but
regret much that the Bank of England
reduced its rate on Thursday last. The
banking reserve is still only £10,465,000,
and the Economist can not think this an
adequate reserve in the present times.
The Economist has often explained that
now the Bank of France has suspended
specie payments, and the Bank of Eng-
land is left in consequence the only place
at which a large sum in gold can be
readily obtained for any purpose for
which it may be required, a much greater
reserve than this should be kept by the
Bank even in ordinary times when there
is no visible daDger ahead. And at pre-
sent there is such danger. The German
Government must, sooner or later, begin
to buy gold here, and if it does we shall
need more than the usual reserve to meet
the demand, as we before found in the
same circumstances.
The last change in the money market
of the world is rather unfavorable than
otherwise. The premium on gold has
risen at New York, and it would seem
that we are not likely in our difficulties
to receive help from America. Some
persons, indeed, consider it an additional
source of anxiety. The murket rate has
dropped } per cent, since this day week,
mainly in consequence of the expectation
of the fall in the Bank rate and of its
occurrence. The influence of the Bank
acts in two ways—first, directly, as a
lender ; it lent on the average during the
year 1873—discounts, £7,739,000; tem-
porary advances, £2,907,000; total, £10,-
646,000.
Though this is not a large amount for
so great a market as London, yet we
must remember that this market is a most
delicate one, that the unused margin in
it is very small, and that, therefore, the
withdrawal of even a small sum from it
is sure before long to cause a decided
change. And next, the bank rate is the
customary standard by which the rate
given by bill brokers and interest-giving
bankers is determined ; this tells on the
market rate of discount, for in practice
bill-brokers and bankers are much more
eager to charge more when they pay
more, aud their eagerness is in part suc-
cessful. There can be no doubt, there-
fore, that the change in the bank rate
still most materially affects the market,
though it does not control it so absolutely
or so quickly as it used to do.

THE GALVESTON MARKET.
The demand is fair, but the market is
unquestionably easier, being influenced
by the relaxed ton© elsewhere. Prices
show no quotable change, but offerings
are larger and holders manifest more ill-
clination to meet the inquiry. Including
273 bales which changed hands after
business hours last evening, the sales
aggregate 2035 bales, five brokers par
ticipating in the business.
The Cotton Exchange quotes the mar-
ket " quiet and easier" at unchanged
prices, with sales of 2035 bales
