Gen. N. B. Forrest finds a defender
for his course since the war in the
Grenada (Miss.) Republican,, although
that paper is politically opposed to
him. It says:
He had fought and lost; he was
fairly whipped, and, we believe, was
whipped all over. He returned to the
walks of civil life to see his fortune
scattered to the winds, save here and
there a fragment, which he soon com-
bined, and began the struggle of life
anew, with what success we do not
know, but that indomitable energy
which belongs to him by birth has
borne him forward and upward until
he is again a man of mark. It is our
honest belief, since he told his ragged
8(|Uadrons to "go home and be good
citizens," no man in the South has
more respected his parole of honor or
kept more sacredly his oath of alle-
giance. When the troubles growing
out of the capture of the Virginius by
the Spaniards raised a little war cloud
over our political firmament, Gen. For-
rest was among the first to tender his
services in case of hostilities, and
Lieut. Gen. Sherman had the good
sense and confidence to write that, in
case of necessity, he would place Gen.
Forrest high on the list of officers that
would be commissioned in the United
States service.
Gen. Sherman knew his man, for
we presume he had his eye upon the
civil career of Gen. Forrest, as well as
hundreds of other Confederate officers,
since the close of the war. Had the
authorities of Gibson county accepted
the services of Gen. Forrest, we surely
believe that most of the guilty men en-
gaged in that Trenton murder would
have been safely lodged in prison.
They would have been dragged out
from their hiding-places, whether in
the mansions of the rich or the hovels
of the poor; whether in the tangled
brakes of the swamp, or the open
streets of the town; wl»3ther backed up
with the defiant preparations of the
desperado, or skulking around as guil-
ty cowards. We believe that General
Forrest is in full accord with the Dem-
ocratic party, but notwithstanding, in
the discharge of his duty, he would
not be swayed in the least by party in-
fluences, but would exercise his official
authority alike upon the Democrat and
Republican, looking wholly to his du-
ties in the case as defined by the law.
TriE Order of tbe Lyre has been found-
ed by the Emperor of Germany. He
should at once advance the Southern cor-
respondent of the Inter-Ocean to the
highest degree, and string enough mysti-
cal letters after his name to fit out a doc-
tor of divinity for a lecturing tour.—In
dianapolis Sentinel.
And if he will add a string to his
neck, there will be but little injustice
done.
"Table d'hote, table d'hote, what

GALVESTON, TEXAS, ;
Friday Evenikq, °otober 16, 1874 S
The week just ended shows some imple-
ment in business over the preceding w&ek,
confined, however, mainly to four Aipart-
ments: cotton, hides, hardware ar>l dry
goods. With these exceptions there )fc«been
but little done, and nothing to b#**t *n"
eluding them.
Our receipts of cotton show a material ad
vance upon last week and an #normous one
upon corresponding week year. The
comparison with last year is u^t, however, al-
together a fair one. as the financial panic had
not yet subsided at this d»te last year, and
yellow fever, with it~» attendant quarantine
restrictions, was widely prevalent in the inte
rior, to the detriment of all trade movement.
Tbe cotton did not move last year simply be-
cause it could not iptfve. This year s figures
loom up into la»v® proportions when a com-
parison with year is instituted, but really
the moT«*n**nt has lagged this year—until last
w#<oc and this weex. Considering the stimulus
i* precocious maturity afforded by the drouth,
the necessities of our people, and the good
harvest weather we have been having of late—
receints have not beon as large as might have
reasonably been exp«oted.
Our information is that three influences
have operated to retard receipts. One is that
the planters are too much pre-occupled in
picking to attend to ginning or shipping, ex
cept when spurred by immediate need of
money, and compelled to market a few bales.
The country is bare of money, and all cash
resources are now locked up in the crop yet
to be marketed. Another influence has been
the general belief in the interior that the
market is apt to materia ly improve further
along, and that it would therefore be the
grower's policy to retain possession of his
produce as l«>ng as his ability will admit.
There is a wide spread t-peculation in this
form throughout the country. Another in-
fluence operating in favor of detention on the
plantation is the fact that the provisions of
the new landlord-and-tenant law recently en-
acted by the Texas Legislature, inve&ts the
land-owner with more authority over the pro-
duce grown by his tenants than he possessed
heretofore. He:etofore there has been a
strong propensity on the part of the laborer
to sell the cotton about as fast as it tonld be
got into marketable shape, and the landlord,
having but little power of interference, was
continually put upon his vigilance for the col-
lection of his rents. Tbe new law pives him
preferred lien for his rents, and enables
him to estop movement Hntil he is satisfied—
a power which he has not failed to avail of.
The accounts now coming in from the coun-
try are more favorable than heretofore, and
estimates of the crop are being increased
somewhat, both in the country and here. The
picking saason has been remark-ibly good
since the rains ceased, and much progress is
being currently made. It is said too, that in
some sections the second growth, started
sin- e the drouth, begins to show a promise of
amouuting to something, should frost hold
off long enough. We opine, however, that
this profipect is a precarious one.
The probab lity is that the top crop will
amount to very little anywhere. The middle
crop promises moderately. The bottom crop
is said to be a g<>od one. The complaint is
that the crop—pretty much all that is made—
all opened at once, and will be difficult to
save. A v gorous effort to that end is, how-
ever. being made, without doubt, and it is re-
ported that the laborers are picking better
than heretofore. The picking season cannot
be a very long one, and this consideration is
apt to have much weight against extreme
crop estimates.
For the week just ended, the receipts at all
United States ports have been simply enor-
mous—121,175 bales, against 96,638 last week,
and 78,758 this week last year. Though it had
been anticipated that they would be large,
and though it would have seemed most proba
b!e that the cffect had been discounted, the
actual result has served to depress the mar-
ket on this side, and to decidedly pull down
futures in New York.
For comment on our cotton market, we
must refer to the special caption.
Our hide market has manifested a rapid ad
vance this week—especially the latter part of
the week. The advance since last Friday
amounts to something more than lc. per
pound on dry flint selections and %c. on wet
salted The excitement is due altogether to
local competition, uninflenced by any general
enhancement in value.
It must be considered, however, that a good
portion of this advance is fictitious—appa-
rent rather rather than real. A higher price
is paid for selection, but the selection is, in
many cases, more rigid than heretofore. A
trade on the basis of a certain stipulated fig-
ure for selection, is coupled with the condi-
tion that simply damaged hides are to be
taken at half price, and badly damaged or
glue-stock at one-quarter of sound price.
J here is no absolute iiue of demarkation sepa-
rating damaged from sound, nor partly dam-
aged from badlv damaged. The different
classes ail imperceptibly graduate—fade—
into one another, and afford a wide margin
for vibration in the selection—not unfre-
quently availed of under stress of a higher
nominal range of prices than is consistent
with intrinsic market values.
Competition among our hide dealers has
forced up the price for selection to
such flgu-es as must needs enforce
a stricter selection than has been the custom
heretofore. The fixing of some standard for
t-election is a need very apparent in our hide
trade. Its attainment may not be as diffi-
cult either as might seem at first thought. It
would be no difficult matter on the part of
the sellers to appoint one or more supervisors
to fix the selection aud deliver the bides.
Approximate uniformity in the selection
would be the result, and at less cost than is
aow lost through the leakage of the prevalent
lax system.
Duriug the week wool has ruled steady and
with little or no change. Receipts currently
have been limited, and the fall clip has not
yet begun to appear in full vdume. For the
week sales have been 201 sacks, some 48,500
pounds.
Other products in our general market re-
quire but brief mention this week. Hog pro-
ducts are lower. The decline during the week
has beon %c in clear tides, clear rib, hams
and shoulders, and %c. in lard, with a contin-
uace of the protracted dullness. Since the
speculation has had its back broken theee
staples have lost all their former friends.
Sugar has been firm, with a further slight
advance, but not to tbe full measure of the
advance elsewhere.
Tobacco has been comparatively active, but
at a lower range of prices than the parity of
other markets, our dealers still complaining
that in our market the general advance can
not be made available.
Flour has been dull of sale but firm at quo-
tations.
Coffee contiuues steady and firm at un-
changed prices. Sales are not active, but
the demand is fair, and promptly met without
concessions.
Hay has declined $2<&8 per ton, and is dull
of sale and in full stock.
(5orn is steady, and has advanced 10c. per
bushel.
But'er is firmer and more active, and choice
brands are more in request.
App es are abundant and easier except for
very choice, which still command outside
rates. Potatoes are in good supply and
shade easier than last week.
The New York Commercial and Financial
Chronicle of the 10th inst. contains the folio
ing. The excessive rains did much harm, but
the great instrument of damage was the pre-
ceding drouth:
The Situation of the Growing Crop,
In our issue of the 22d of August, we stated
our irapi ession of the position of tbe growing
crop at that time. We see no necessity for
repeating what we then said, as subsequent
Information requires from us no modification
<>f the conclusion reached: that conclusion
represents what we then believed, aud have
additional reasoa now for believing it to have
been a f-*lr, moderate statement of the posi-
tion (>X the crop at that date. Since then the
surroundings of the plant have been favora-
ble ar some points, and at others unfavorable,
making the future result less certain, and yet
the remembrance of the actual facts may
ktep us fr ,m petting far astray.
First.—At the date mentioned above we
stated that tbe greatest danger the plant
would be liable to after tbe drouth, was an
immediate long-continued rain, but that t-how-
ers would be extremely beneficial by check-
ing the shedding and in many sections devel-
• ping new fruit. Everywhere from about that
time this showery weather was the prevailing
feature, b ginning at Galveston that very
week, and eont, nuing further inland and
along up the Atlantic coast the following
weeks We do not mean to under-estimate
th* harm don»* by the drouth—beyond a doubt
that was very considerable. All we now say
is. that, the drouth was everywhere terminat-
ed or broken up in the best possible manner.
Second—After this showery weather, and
with the week beginning September 5th, ex-
cessive raii.s were reported in Texas; our
weather report of September 12th will show
that it rained every day of that week at Gal-
veston and Indianota. The next week there
were only two showery days, with a rainfall,
at Galveston, of fifty-four hundredths of an
inch, and at Indi<tnoia of only five hundredths
of an inch. The next week (ending Seotem-
ber 25th) there were three showery days at
Galveston and five at Indianola, with a rain-
fall at the former place of one inch and
twelve hruidredtbs, and at the latter of three
inches and seventy-two hundredths. Last
week (ending October 2d) only seventeen bun
dredth* of an inch was regi-tered at Galves-
t n and four hundredths at indianola.
Now the auestien arises what harm have
these rains done to the Texas crop? Had
they immediately followed the drouth and
been continued rains, the question would be
free of doubt; but as it is we can not
answer it with any accuracy, and it is impos-
sible to determine the result until later.
Especially are we made of doubtful mind by
the cr 'p statement of the Galveston Cotton
Exchange, reports from that source being
heretofore so reliable; were it not for thur
last issue we should be of the opin'on (judg-
ing in great part from the weesly weatner
statements epitomized above) that a very
considerable amount of staple had been in-
jured, but as dirty cotton would make just
about as many bales as clean cottofi, the loss
to the crop would i e more in staple than in
bales. Mill the report of the Exchange
leads us to suspend judgment venturing the
simple remarc that a fine late fall and winter
would be of immense service to the Texas
crop in its oresent condition.
Third -With the exception of Texas, the
rains nowhere are reported a* very excesive.
There have been storms which have beaten
out cotto i In some sections (as ia ihc Mem
phis district, for instance.) and a severe and
extremely violent coast storm along the At
lantic (injuringgreatly the rice crop but doing
"%ery little harm to cotton) reported in our
weather statement of last week. Otherwise
the picking season has thus far been very fa
vorahle for developing any possible new
growth and lor gathering in the crop. On the
bottom aud rich low lands, the top crop was,
at our latest mail dates, still developing; this
is especially true of the Mississippi Valley,
but it is to a considerable extent true all over
the cotton section.
As to the plant on the uplands much of it
was left after the drouth too parched and
dried to make any more fruit, and the top-
crop in such sections will be poor. The Mem-
phis and Nashville districts were very badly
affected in this respect, as well as by exces-
sive shedding; but there, as elsewhere, the
weather siDce the drouth has been favorable
with the excepti n of some beating out of cot-
ton by rain and storm which ^happens every
year; so that all the plant is capable of, the
autumn weather has thus far tended to de-
velop.
Fourth—Our conclusion from the above is
that estimates of the crop made now may
need very thorough revision later on. As
already stated a late fine open fall would aid
much to^the yield—more than many will now
admit, for it Is the rich lowlands or bottom
lands mainly that ara thus to be benefited.

THE GALVESTON MARKET.
The market has been fairly active during
the week. Sales foot up 7600 balps, against
4300 last week, and 5415 the week before.
On Saturday the closing quotations of last
week wete maintained, but tho market closed
quiet aud weak, with sales of ipeo bales. On
Monday there was a good demand at un-
changed quotations, sales reaching 2200 bales.
On Tuesday the inquiry still oontinued, with
sales of 1864 bales at unchanged quotations.
On Wednesday there was somewhat less de-
mand. but prices remained unchanged, with
sales of 1239 bales, the market closing quiet.
On Thursday the demand decide ly abated,
and on the 1 87 bales wh ch changed hands
brokers were able to obtain a concession of
He. on all grades except Ordinary, which re-
mained as before—the market c'osing easy at
the decline. On Friday, to-day, there has
been almost no inquiry, and though quota-
tions remain unchanged, sales have oeen only
210 bales, to three brokers, the market c'osing
dull and heavy. It will thus be seen that
during the week prices have declined only >»c.
on all grade? above Ordinary, and none on it.

THE NEW YORK MARKET.
The market for spot cotton has fluctuated
but little during the week, and sales in vol-
ume vary but little from those of last week,
being 11,505 bales against 11,147 last week and
4245 three weeks since. Of the sales this week
3653 have been to spinners, 7078 to exporters
and <74 to speculators.
A comparison of closing prices this week
and last shows a gain of *c. on Ordinary, *c.
on Good Ordinary and a decline of *c. on
each of the other grades. The market to-day
has ruled dull, with sales of only 1031 bales,
at a decline of *c. on all grades, except Ordi-

Futures opened this week strong, with an
advancing tendency, and continued to im-
prove in price the first two days of tbe week.
On Tuesday the tide turned and prices have
been receding daily since—the movement
somewhat accelerated to-day by adec'ineof
*c. on most months. The decline for the
week amounts to an average of 3-16@*c on
Octobcr. November and December, 5-16c. on

however, that tbe daily sales have been

reaching 43.200 bales for to-day (Friday), and
17§,900 for the week, against 137,900 last week,
and 127,600 the week before. It must be kept
in mind that these sales of futures are on old

MR. LOPEZ, an ex-physician of the
Spanish Army, has turned his attention to
the shoe business. In connection therewith
he manufactures laets adapted to any feet.
To do this properly requires a perfect knowl-
edge of the anatomy and physiology of the
foot, which Mr. Lopez possesses. By this
means he prevents and cures c rns, and offers
a challenge of $100 to any corn doctor to com-
pete with. He uses but the best materials and
