COMMERCIAL.
GALVK8TON, TKXA8, I
Monday Evening, Oct. 4. 1875. t
Trade was Rood to day, better than moat
merchants expected, and the boats took all
the freight they could carry, but have not yet
been receiving for the San Antonio road, but
will no doubt do so to-morrow. A neiious
obstable to heavy shipments occurs in the re-
fusal to give car load rates, but this will be
obviated the day after to-morrow, when the
railroad bridgo will again be ready to cross
trauis.
In values to.day the noteworthy features
are a better feeling in the cotton market and
provisions generally firmer, sharp advances
having occurred in the figures for bacon
and hams. The advance In bacon is due to
the local scarcity. The same influence carried
clear sides to l&tfc. in New Orleans on Satur.
d ty. Potatoes, so plentiful a few days since,
are actually scarce, and are 75c®l 00 per bar.
rel higher than they were last week, but libe-
ral supplies are en route. Corn has declined,
and prime western mixed was retailing at
91 10© 1 12#. Oats are quiet and unchanged.
Woitern hay is very scarce. Northern plenty.
A CORRECT STANDARD OF HONESTY.
The following is from the New York Juunia
of Commerce, an<l is worth reading:
New Yore, Sept. 10,1375.
Editor of the Journal of Commerce:
A frond requests me to purchase for him a
quantity of cloth. I do so, and pay a mer-
chant J3 a yard for the same.
WI suing to make something for my trouble
in the matter, 1 request the merchant to bill
the goods at $1 25 per yard, in order that my
friend may believe I paid that price. Uudsr
the law hatft the merchant or myself committed
an indictable offense?
Your notice of the abovo will greatly oblige,
READER
the writer represented to his
friend that h« paid $3 23 for the goods, and
thus induced him to pay that amount, he is
guilty of obtaining money under false pre-
tenses, for which he may be indicted. No
man has a legal or moral right to *'m*ke
something for nis trouble" In such a case, if
he undertakes the service gratuitously, and
only obtains a prpflt through deceit and mis-
representation.
It now dovolves upon the Journal of Com.
mere* to answer the following question : An
individual or llrm doing a commission busi-
ness buys goods for its olients and charges
them a commission for so doing. Has this
llrm or individual any " legal or moral right''
to chargo its customers any advance on the
goods so purchased, or to accept of any re-
bates or commissions from the sellers of the
goods without accounting for tho same to its
said clients or customers?
SUGAR AND MOLASSES.
Tho New Orleans Picayune of Sunday says:
We have to note a dull sugar markat and
lift It-or nothing doing. There is only a email
job trade in the sheds at for common,
for good common, 8Xe. for fair, Uc. for
good fair, for fully fair, 9X<&9Xc.
for prime to choice, 9%<(L\Qc. for yellow clari-
fied, arid lOlfc. for off white clarified. jStock
in the sheds this day, a» taken by actual
count, 869 hhds.
There have been ne receipt? of new molas-
ses as yet. No demand for old and nothing
doing. Stock In the sheds 1333 bbls. and 10
half bbls. Louisiana and 02 bbls. New York
syrup.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Times,
writing from the lower coast says;
The crops along the lower coast are In
spl» ndid oonditlon, and although the lato
Ftorra damaged the rice crop to some extent,
it was not sufficient to cause any gloom
among the planters. The work of cutting is
going bravely on in the rice fields and every
day mIiow* an increase in the amouut ready
f.>r shipment. The su^ar hOtt— are being
ovorhau cd and new machinery beinir placed
In position, showing indications that the
grinding season Is near at band, and that the
crop is sufficient to guarantee all outlays for
repairs end improvements. Houses and
fencea have received new coats of paiot and
ahlM forth in tasteful array, while the off-
ers wear a n railing visage that speaks well for
the proHperity of the lower coast.
The New Orleans Price Current supplies tho
following comment* fn Its nomt wookly rovlcw
of the 2d instant:
Corn baa been In fair supply, but met only a
limited demaod at easier prices, tho closing
qaoUtloaa allowing a decline of 3c. per bash-
el. 'J'he market is bare of bulk. Tne previ-
ous excitement in Pork subsided on Wednes-
day and the market lost a part of Its previous
advance, but yosterday It rallied under favor-
able Western dispatches and cloawd at a not
falling off from Tuesday's rates of only about
■•001 has been dull, but has ruled at
I p-vious rates for shoulders and clear rib
sides and closed at an advance of )rfo. in
clear. {Sugar has been in limited jobbing de-
mand and ruled Xc. more in favor of buyers
We notice further receipts of new Syrup, and
al«o a first arrival of new Molasses.
The same authority commenting on the
latest intelligence concerning the cotton
crop, says:
"The weather has been clear and pleasant,
ond inspires hope that the crop may yet re-
cover from recent injury and the season
prore bom favorable for niekinf. Late re-
ports, however, from some localities, are de
cidedly gloomy, even more werious injury
having beeu done by the late storm than nad
b >en apprehended. There is some apprehen-
sion that the crop may be still further cur-
tailed by an early killing frost.11
In some parts of Texas the people are com-
plaining because their cotton crops are so
large they can not gather them !
CALIFORNIA COFFEE CULTURE.
The New York Bulletin says the results of
re< >nt experiment* lu coffee culture in Cali-
fornia conclusively prove that coffee can be
raised in every portion of that State where
tho soli is congenial, bnow does not appear
to have any materially Injurious effect on tho
plant. During last spring a number of plants
were slightly injured by severo freezing
weather, but later recovered aud sprouted,
yielding, after the moderation in the weather,
dwarf Hpecimens. California plants produce
twenty-two shoots, while those of Europe pro-
duce but one. Tho soil also Is thought to be
more favorable, as, unlike that of European
countries, it needs no irrigation. From all
accounts, it would appear that the culture of
this article, particularly in Nevada connty,
will In time become an industry of no incon-
siderable importance.
COTTON.
There was a fair demand ty>-day, resulting
in sales of 1125 balos. The demand was not
so fastidious, and all offerings of average lists
at quotations were promptly taken up. The
market closed steady, aud with but a slim
a ;sortment of samples left on factors' tables.
