WEEKLY REVIEW.
OALVK8TON, TEXAS, I
Fill ha v Kvknino. August 21, 1874. (
During the week just expired there has
been an increased volume of business in most
branches of general merchandise.
The cotton market has been stagnant, part-
ly from the absence of all demand whatever,
and partly from the extreme depletion of
stock, which has probably this week reached
its lowest point for the entire season, as the
few unexpired days of the cotton year are apt
to add to rather than subtract from present
figures.
The blackboards of the Cotton Exchange do
not show a single transaction this week, and
though quotations have been given daily,
their entirely nominal character has been in-
dicated.
The account* of the crop continue unfavor-
able from the extreme drouth. ltains have
fallen along the Gulf Coast and in Eastern
Texas, but there has been none of any conse-
quence in the rest of the State. The upland
crop la, undoubtedly, much impaired, and
even bottom lands are now beginning to need
moisture.
The demand for cotton worm poisons has
ceased, there being but little spprehension of
insect {tests in so scorching a temperature.
The last sail vessel of the season hence for
Liverpool- the bark Hose Brae—cleared on
TueHday, with 1371 bales.
The Hteamer San Jacinto Is now loading st
the wharf with a cargo of wheat and flour
from the Northwest—the pioneer in the en-
terprise of a wheat business for Galveston!
in values there have been during the week
• but few mstsrial changes, except as to hog
products, which hive again advanced.
Bagging is held firmly at quotations, and
has advanced elsewhere.
Gold closes in New York \c. higher than
last Friday.
The financial statue seems to indicate in-
creased eaxe. The drain of specie from the
Hank of Eugland has come to a pause and the
rate of dixrount was yesterday reduced to 3)tf
per cent.
Money on call Is 2&2)£ por cent. In New
York.
In the hide market there has been a strong
feeling, and as high as VJ\c. was paid for
dry. The selection at this extreme figure is
very rigid. The wool soason has closed. The
amount received since May 1st has been near-
ly 675,iM> pounds.
Valuea in the general market show further
declines in coffee, and continued strength in
the prices of sugar. Floor has again bean
hard to move, at a further shading of prices*
11> the dry goods and hsrdware branches
the buMiuessdone indicates that the fall trade
has fairly opened; but it is a noticeable fea-
ture of the bills sold that they show a want of
c mfldeuce Buyers are operating lightly. In
view of the uucertain condition of the cotton
crop, on which all the business of the interior
neceitearily binges.

advantages of this celebrated Cotton Gin over
all others are numerous. Firstly—It will
gin more cotton in a piven time than any
other. Secondly—It will gin trashy cotton
cleaner and leave a finer staple than any
