NEWS OFFICE, I
Wkdnes >ay Evening, August 1, 1377. t
The last of the summer mouths opens with
trade quiet in all departments, but with a
very confident feeling in commercial circles.
The outlook is encouraging, the only im
portant drawback at present being the pres-
ence of the worm in the cotton; but this evil
has no doubt been magnified, and the proba-
bility is that in the lower counties, where
planting is early, full average crops will be
made. #
In values no material changes were chroni-
cled to-day. Cats are firmer, but no siles
have transpired.
The New York Chronicle of Saturday sum-
marizes its weekly weaHier reports by tele-
graph as follows:
The development of the crop the past week
has been generally satisfactory. The temper-
ature, however, is not in the average as high
ag desirable, especially considering the back-
wardness of the plant; and at Memphis and a
few other points less rain would seem to be
de^ir^ble. From Galveston we learn that
caterpillars have certainly appeared, though
tne injury done is limited, excepting beyond
the Colorado river, where much damage has
been done.
THE BOSTON WOOL MARKET.
* The Shipping List says:
The demand for wool hag fallen off consid"
erably from the large transactions of the past
few week', but at the same time a fair aver-
age business has been done. The railroad
strike has also had a tendency to limit trans-
actions, as several manufacturers hesitated
to complete negotiations for round lots while
so much confusion and anarchy prevailed.
The railroad strike has. in fact, become so
formidable, Ferious and unexpected, that busi-
ness men in all departments of trade have
hesitated to move, but there is a confident
feeling at the close that it will soon be under
control.
It was quite fortunate that so large a por-
tion of the wool clip of the West has already
come forward. The receipts of the week have
been upward of 4,000.000 lbs . and during the
past five weeks the receipts of Western wool
have been about ^0.000,000 lbs., so that our
dealers are well stocked with all grades and
qualities, and no inconvenience will be ex
perienced by the interruption of supplies.
In prices no change and the market is
steady and firm rt previous rates. Sales of the
week include 23,000 #>s.. T>-xas at32(^35c.; 73,-
0(H) lbs., Texas at 3tic., and ~*000 frs,. Texas
at 30c. $ I*.
COTTON.
The Liverpool spot market ruled easy but
not <|iiotablv lower, with sales of 7000 bales,
incluuing 4800 American. The market for ar
rivals ruled steady.
The New York spot market opened quiet
and closed dull and unchanged, with sales of
fi2i bales principally to spiDners. Futures
opened steadier and closed firm, with sales of
31,100 bales at a slight advauce over yester-
day's closing prices.
The New Orleans market closed easy and
unchanged, with sales of 150 bahs
In this market sales of 21 bales were re

Section 13. That the cost of filling, raising,

shall make out in a book regularly prepared

GRIP
COTTON TIE
FIRST PREMIUM
AWARDED BY THE
Texas State Fair
THE
CELEBRATED ARROW TIE
B E I N O
ONE x COMPETITORS.
In offering planters tiie
GRIP TIE, the following advantage!* are
claimed for it: simplicity of application,
rreater strength both of the Tie and of the
Sand, close adjustment and freedom from slip,
which preveDt any expansion of the bale, ana
the Impossibility of removing the Band with-
out cutting it.
The award of the Highest Premium by the
Texas State Fair to the GRIP TIE over tha
Arrow and all other competitors, is simply an
indorsement of the opinion expressed by all
Planters who have used it, as can be shown
by letters and certificates in our possession.
Arrangements have been made for the man-
ufacture of Bands of sup rior quality, and in
sufficient quantity to supply any demand, and
for the present the price will be $2 50 per bun-
dle, of thirty bands each.
The recent reduction in the price of ties was
robably due to the competition of the GFIP
'IE, and as we offer a supe ior article at tha
same price, we trust dealers and consumer*
will recognize our claim to a fair share of pa-
tronage.

Cotton Worm
Interesting Correspondence*
Preston & Robira, Galves-
ton :
Gents—I have long since been satisfied of
the efficacy of your " Texas Cotton Worm De-
stroyerbut have waited until this time to be
sure of there being no doubt, as it ^as killed
by frost on the 10th instant.
The Poison i received was put up in paper
boxes, containing five pounds, a measure
therein for 40 or 42 gallons of water. I dis-
covered the worms near the last of August in
considerable force in a cut of level bottom
land, (late cotton,) containing 20 acres. I wrote
to you for the remedy. I received it on the
30th of August. On the 1st of September I
apnlied it to five acres of the above cut, as the
worms bad made 8uch ravages in the interval
that there were not leaves enough left on the
rest of it to hold the poison.
MY MODE OP APPLICATION
was as follows: I had a large mule hitched to a
cart, in which I placed a 52 gallon barrel fi led
with water, and placed therein two (2) meas-
ures of the poison, a driver in front. I took
my stand in the rear of the barrel with a
" Fountain Pumpdirected the driver to
Froceed. We straddled one row and sprinkled
our rows on each side, making nine rows
at a time, which the pump did easily, and thus
I passed over the five acres in a thorough
manner. I found in leaving a little water in
the barrel each tine that about the third time
filling two measures was too strong, and blis-
tered the leaves a little. I afterward emptied
the water out each time and used the two
measures without injury.
In passing to the cotton I was sprinkling
from the spring I had to pass through a pie««
eaten entirely up, with the exception of eight
rows next the fence, which was green, but
somewhat ragged, and worms working vigor-
ously. I concluded to test it on that, which I
did, and it stopped the worms, and it contin-
ued to bloom and bear until frost, as did all
of the cotton I sprinkled with your 4t Texas
Worm Deltroyer." I found very few worms
dead, but they stopped eating, and the cotton
is now bending down with bolls. I have no
doubt but earlier in the season a second
sprinkling would be necessary on account of
the new growth.
Many persons speak of your remedy—some
for, some against. I can only say what it has
done for me.
Fvery acre I sprinkled grew,
bloomed and bore until frost, and
every acre I did not sprinkle was
eaten up entirely by tlie worm by
tlie 5 tli of September.
I am. gentlemen, very respectfully your
obedient servant, JAMES E. HADiN,
Cold Springs, Tex.% Nov. 13, 1876.
Mr. Jagers, an old farmer, and the most
thorough connoisseur in worms, gives his
statement in his own words, as also Dr. J. A.
Dupree:
I was on Capt. Haden's premises, and saw
the cotton ten days atfer sprinkling. It was
then green and blooming » nd doing well. I
also noticed very particularly (that being ray
object in going to see it) that it was not shed-
ding, as some of the poisons cause it to oo.
