Texas Intelligence.

From the commercial article in the Galveston
News of Tuesday last we extract the following:
The sales in our market were retarded, from the
opening of the week, under the favorable advices
per steamship Niagara, by advance pretensiOnS of
holders they amounted to 800 bales Saturday,
750 on Monday, ll50 bales in the three days from
Tuesday to Thursday, and to-day about 100 bales
only.
On Thursday, most vessels in port took clear
anGe although several of them have none or but
little cargo on board. We have now but two yes
sells in port, both foreign, that have not cleared,
and it is very much desired that portion Of the large
feet of vessels now due and overdue, should arrive
SO as to reduce the eXtraVagant demands for room.
Most shippers seem to consider clearance by .. S.
Customhouse desirable for safety of their ship
ments, and hence the clearance in advance.
The table Of receipts and exports embraces, as
reported, the full requirement of vessels that
cleared without being loaded, reducing stock to
4549 bales, against &c G24 bales same date of last
season.
The receipts of the week amounted to 4044
bales, and have many evidences that they
would be larger but from impossibiIity OF hauling
and lowness of Trinity river. Prices appear to be
satisfactory to the majority of planters who are
| now sending forward.
