Everything indicates a large and pros-

supplied myself with an aiyple and well-
selected stock of Groceries, atul I cordially
invite interior merchants and the trade
generally to call and exatnine my foods and
prices, feeling assurednjtth my many ad-
vantages and large facilities, I can offer
them great inducements, and save them
time and money.
It is conceded Houston is the best cotton
market in the State, and to confirm this
fait I challenge comparison of sales with
those made in any competing market. As
an earnest of henv well J can serve those
who may be kind enough to entrust the
handling of their Cotton to me, 1 will re-.

DIRECTIONS FOB USING
the great soap wonder,
" DEATH on DIRT."
1. Put one article at a time that is to be washed
into the water, then place it on the washboard, rub
a little soap on it, being sure to toueh all soiled
places, roll tightly as when sprinkling-clothes and
place in tub under water; after all are finished
leave them from thirty minutes to an lrt>u»* accord-
ing to condition of garments and the soap will do
its work. Have just water enough to cover the
clothes and no more. Then place each piece sepa-
rately on the washboard and rub lightly, should any
soiled places then remain, rub on a little more soap,
roll and soak as before. Don't scald or boil a single
piece.
2. Rinsing. Rinse in warm water, iben rub the
clothes lightly on the wash board without using
more soap.
8. Bluing. The water may be either warm or
cold, srir a piece of soaD in the water, add less blu-
ing than usual, rinse, ring and hang out, and your
clothes will be white, clean and sweet.
The teakettle will furnish all the hot water need-
ed. Have the water in the wash tub warm, not hot.
Ask your grocer for "DEATH OH

The General Market Quiet but Steady
—Cotton Steady-—Weekly Review
of the Cotton 3MCarkets>
News Office. January 12.—There is but little
change to note in the general market. Values in
all lines rule steady, while the general tone of the
market is quiet. There are some revisions in the
quotations for lemons. The market is still over-
stocked with pecans, and though the receipts have
been light the stock decreases very slowly. Quota-
tions are more or less nominal, with but little de-
mand for anything but large and choice pecans.
Poultry coutinues in light supply, and the larger
part of the receipts of chickens sold readily at
$5 per dozen, though some ;sales were reported as
low as $4 25. Wild game is in light supply, while
the demand is good. In bacon, dry salt meats and
lard there is only a light business, with no change
in quotations to note. Crain is steady. Staple gro-
ceries generally are without change.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE COTTON MARKET.
The continued large receipts at the ports have
had a tendency to depress prices during the week,
and quotations, especially for the low grades, ar^
weak and. in some cases, lower. As the season
advances the proportion of low grades received in
creases, and in some instances the staple is not
so good as that of the earlier part of the season.
While the excess in receipts at the ports over last
year is rapidly increasing, it is worthy of note
that the Atlantic ports show a rapid failing off in
receipts since the holidays, while the volume of
increase over last year is now principally at this
port and New Orleans, Below will be found the
usual weekly resume of the market by days:

an increase over the same week last year of 67.988
bales, of which 57,451 bales were at the ports of
Galveston and New Orleans, leaving an increase at
all the rest of the ports of only 30,507 bales over the
same week last year. During the season the in-
crease has been 463,990 bales, but the excess is like-
ly to be decreased during the coming week by. cor-
rections made last year at West Point, embracing
over 100,000 bales. Just at the present time the
wisest heads among the oottonmen seem to be at a
loss as to the future, and the shrewdest speculators

Markets by Telegraph*
New York, January 12.—Governments generally
weak. Railroad bonds moderately active but
irregular. State securities strong. The stock mar-
ket was extremely dull all dav and closed steady,
the majority of active stocks being a fraction
higher than at the close yesterday. Among the
ipecialties were Memphis and Charleston,which de-
clined from 52^6 to 49 regular, and 48 seller, Ten-
nessee and Richmond and Danville, which declined
from 53^ to 40^. This has been the smallest day's
business for the year past. The Post says: It Is
fair presumption that tne diminishing business is
as much due to the increasing conservatism of
bears as of bulls Everybody seems to be waiting
for further developments, and the market is get-
ting into a temper, in which less important circum-
stances than heretofore would cause an important
movement of prices. Transactions, 153,000 shares.

Xtive Stock-
Last week Mr. C. A. Sternberg bought 100
four-year-old beeves &t$30 per head and twen-
ty cows at $20 per head from Mi*. R. Binder-,
wald, of Long Mot-t.
Calhoun county. Mr. Greer, an English
capitalist, who contemplated establishing a
beef-packery at Lavaca, shipped his machinery
to Tuxj>an, Mexico, last week, on account of
the high price of cattle in this section of coun-
try.
Corpus Christi Free Press: We note that
many of the cattlemen of this section are im-
proving the cattle as fast as possible. A few
are improving them for milch cows, while
most of them are improving them as beef
cattle....A late telegram from South Farm-
ingham, Mass., says that three cars of Scotch
beef cattle, of the Angus Poll breed, have been
shipped to Corpus Christi for breeding pur-
R. Savage sold to J allies F. Scott, of
' ntonio, last week, 1000 head of beeves.
Brownsville Cosmopolitan: A large number
of horses and cattle will be driven from this
county in the spring.
The United States Treasury cattle commis-
sion estimates the sum of $:2,000,000 is required
to stamp out the lung plague among the ani-
mals in this country and recommend the re-
quisite legislation. In discussing the question
of the admission of American store cattle to
Great Britain the report concludes: *4 It is vain
to hope that England will remove the restric-
tion as long as we fail to show that the last
vestige of infection has been wiped from our
laud, and nothing short of absolute and unde-
niable extinction of this disease in the United
States will reopen the British market
to our live cattle and save us those
millions we are now every 3'ear pro-
digally, we might almost say insanely, throw-
ing away." The report estimates the Yearly
losses from the lung plague in the tJnited.
States at from 2.000,000 to 3,000.000 and pros-
itive loss 50,000,000. The capital represented
present yearly losses at 5 per cent, would
be from $40,000,000 to $(50,000,000, and that
represented by prospective losses, at the same
rate, $1,000,000,000. The governing principle ia
all the recommendations is that the Federal
government shall forbid the movement of stock
out of any infected state, territory or district
except after quarantine, such as now imposed
011 cattle imported from infected foraigu coun-
tries. The report recommends the secretary
of the treasury be empowered to order instant
destruction of all cattle or other animals
which, in quarantine, give evidence of danger-
ous contagious disease.
Railroad News. -
Woodville Eureka; We learn the construe
tion train and boarding-cars of the Trinity
Tap and Sabine railroad nave moved up to the
eight-mile rx.«st from the junction on the Sabine
aud East Texas road. Track-laying is being
pushed forward rapidly, and soon the iron-
horse, with his accompanying train, will come
dashing into the young city of Colmesnail
from the west.
St. Louis Railway Register: That part of
Texas lying between Houston and San An-
tonio and traversed by the Galveston. Harris-
burg and San Antonio railway, is as beautiful
a country as there is in the United States. Its
climate is unsurpassed; in winter there is no
snow and but little cold, and in summer the
heat is moderated by the cool breeze from the
gulf which rises soon after sunset. Ia the al-
most constant sunshine there is health, and ia
winter, especially, life upon this bright plaia
is more pleasant than residents in the North
can believe. This section of the State is a
vast prairie rising gradually from the
gulf until it reaches a height above
sea level of nearly a thousand feet. Numerous
streams of water cross it, and along these there
is considerable timber. As Houston is ap-
proached great live-oak trees become abun-
dant, lending a rare charm to the landscape.
This prairie is covered with nutritious grasses,
which make it a paradise for stock, and the
soil is for the most part a marvelously rick
black loam. Here and there, however, the lime-
stone breaks out above the surface. The Gal-
veston. Harrisburg and San Antonio company
has done much to bring in settlers, and conse-
quently the growth in population along the
line has been rapid. Those who see the thriv-
ing towns and rich lands .are easily induced to
remain. In time this road will pass through a
vast stretch of gardens, vineyards and farms,
and its local business will be immense.

Ix the East cringing travelers tamely sub-
mit to all sorts of inconveniences and indigni-
ties, considering themselves lucky to reach
home alive, but in the exuberant West it is
different. According to a Montana paper a
stage driver in the Black Hills lately under-
took to horsewhip a passenger into leaving the
stage and pushing it up hill. Instead of obey-
ing, the }>assengers emptied thear revolvers
into the driver, held an inquest, found that he
died of pneumonia, and then drove on.
