COMMERCIAL.
GALVESTON, TEXAS, I
Tuesday Evening. May 4, lsfr?. i
The cotton market has relapsed. Our own
market. New Orleans and Mobile have each
declined ,l,'c. The other home markets are
not lower, but are very dull. Tho New York
future market has declined heavily, the loss
being 5-32c. on early months and }£c. on re-
mote months, closing baroly steady, with
sales of 37,800 bales. The Liverpool market
Is dull and eany for spots, at a decline of I-I61).
-Uplands 7»ad.; Orleans «|l-16d.; sales HU^O
bales. Arrirals are reported 1-ltid. lower, but
the prices given are tho same as those of yes-
terday. Havre is quoted flat, but at unchanged
prices—Tros Ordinaire 90; Low Middling 90.
Manchester is dull but not lower.
Everything seeuis to be against the market.
The receipts at the ports, heavy yejterday^
are heavy again to-day, being 5828 bales,
againet 3841 last Tuesday, and 4455 corre-
sponding day last year. The "thue-far" for
the four days Is 5000 ahead of last week, and
1000 ahead of last year correspondingly.
The glorious uncertainties of the cotton
market were never better illustrated. The
rttatistical position is strong—unquestionably
strong Nevertheless the market declines
everywhere. Manchester seems to be at the
bottom of the weakness. Tho latest mail ad-
vices from that market are indicated in the
following extract from the Manchester Guar-
dian of tho 14th ultimo:
The quietness which characterized our
mai ket throughout the whole of last week
has to-day become much more marked, and
the tone may even be described as flat. The
demand is everywhere slow aftd for small
quantities, and buyers are operating with
great circumspection in all departments. For
the present their actual wants are few, and
after the recent large business it is scarcely
possible that orders can have accumulated.
Moreover, there is not in the present aspect
* business either at home or abroad any
of
very encouraging feature. The position of
the cotton market is al<H> on the whole re
garded as unfavorable to a policy of absten-
tion; for, although present indications favor a
crop of American imtbaa that of last season,
the comparatively small quantity taken by
American spinners from the ports has left an
ample supplwfor Europe. And as spinners,
at least in England, nold very full reserves,
and the stock in Liverpool is of fair extent,
no apprehension is felt of any early upward
movement in the raw material. Hence on all
sides circumstances appear at the moment to
favor a policy of cauti n. and this is evident-
ly the view upon which all classes of buyers
are juet now acting. Prices are to-day slightly
in buyers favor in several departments, but
more especia'ly in the case of yarns. Goods
are, a« a rule, steady in those sections where
the production is at all deeply engaged, but
elsewhern a slight decline is observable.
Yarns have, as a rule, been in poor demand,
especially those used by home manufacturers.
We hear of sales of moderately fair amount
in some spinnings of India and China yarns
at Friday's rates, but in other cases little
business is r-ported. For the Continent the
transactions Lave been few and of little im-
portance.
The same journal, in another column,
throws the following light upon the domestic
manufacturing industry of Bombay, so highly
unfavorable of late:
The reason for the great and continuous fall
which has recently occurred in the shares of
the Bombay cotton spinning and weaving
companies is stated by the Bitmbau Exchingc
Price Current to be as follows: Yarns which
In the prosperous days of the companies were
sold at HJtfa. P**r lb have now dropped to6j^a.,
whilst the cost of the cotton from which they
are spun is actually dearer. Thus the mar-
gin for spinuing has shrunk to the extent of
fully tf.Jtfa. per tb. But this is not all. Even
at the rednced prices the production is in ex-
cess of the consumption, and stocks of Bom-
bny-nade yarn and cloth are accumulating.
We lesrn also that shareholders are failing to
pay their calls, and in the case of •ne concern
the payment of even the first installment has
had to be enforced through the pressure of
the law courts.
The Alabama crop accounts seem to be
more favorable than those coming from most
quarters. The Mobile Pricc Current of the
1st instant says:
Planting generally has been completed and
Increased land has b<
i given to cotton. The
'eloping promisingly,
last week, and
been .
crop is well up and developini
Frost was generally reported ,
some damage done: rep Janting will be neces-
sary to a small extent. Labor is much more
efllcient than last season, and the loss of male
laborers has been made up by a matorial in-
crease in the number of female laborers and
by a large number of the idlers about small
towns be ing compelled to go to work.
We are indebted to Mr. A. J. Walker for a
copy of his monthly report of the Galveston
Bond, Stock and Money Market, dated 1st
instant. It is as comprehensive as usual.
Wc extract the following from the document:
The money market presents no new feature
worthy of commcnt. The demand for accom-
modation at the banks, is readily met at 12
Kr cent. On the street money on call may
had at 10 per cent.; and on flrst-class real
estate at 12 per cent for long, and 15 percent,
for short timo loans.
Pi A fair amount of business has transpired in
city bonds, as also in the dividend-paying
stoeks at quotations. Bonds of private cor-
porate companies, including Wharf Company,
Southern Cotton Press, Texas Press and City
liai!roa<l, rule steady

THE GALVESTON MARKET.
Under the impulse of adverse advices from
all quarters the market has given way slightly,
and the moderate business done shows a de-
cline of *c. on all grades. The demand con-
tinues very limited. Were there more inquiry
factors would be more disposed to invite busi-
ness, even at a further shading in tho way of
concessions, but the lack of all animation dis
courages overtures. The spread of offeiings
on the market Is large.
The Cotton Exchange quotes the market
"easy, with free offerings "at *c. decline
on all grades, with sales of 363 bales, distrib-
uted among three brokers.
