Texas Woods and Hides.

We extract the following from circular issued by
VIM ?. Converse s. Co., of New York, in relation to
the wool and hide markets:
The Texas woods have become more and more pop
ular among our manufacturers lately, as they have
shown evidence of better care and have arrived here
in better condition than formerly; the great desire
of orr manufacturers is to obtain woods Of long and
strong staple free from dirt, grease, prairie grass
and buIrs (partculary the small burrs), possible
Woods having the opposite qualities are less desirable
and can be sold only at comparatively low figures
In our circular of last season mentioned that 1t
was preferable to pack in bales of 800 to 600 pounds
but find that the majority of the buyers OF Texas
woods in this market pay for the baggng, rope
&c. when covered with gunny cloth; hence we think
would be advisable 10 have them packed in the Or
binary American burlaps; FIVE and half yards to
each bag. These burlap bags, when received here in
good order will sell readily at from forty to sixty cents
each thus increasing by that much the net proceeds
The wool should be free from dampness when
bought or else proper allowance should be made III
price as it generally loses in weight particularly when
shipped here during the warm season.
The feeces should be tied up separately with string
and tag locks, dung balls should not be put inside
of them.
The prospect for the Texas woods in our market
for the coming season is good, and we give the toll
lowing quotations here as probable safe basis tor

Bounty to Emigrants.

From the New Orleans Pcayune
The lands in British Honduras are chiefly held by
some six cmpressarios, OF whom the chief Young,
Toledo & Co. One Of the great difficulties formerly in
emigrating was the unwingness of these landhoders
to sell their lands, which they had acquired chiefly to
get the mahogany, logwood, etc, off of it. They
have now changed their policy and not only will
ing to SELL but will be below the principal firm
offers bounty Of one hundred acres to each able
bodied settler.
A gentleman gives US opportunity to furnish our
readers with copy of letter handed him by Mr.
Hampstead, the land agent of Young, Toledo & Co.:
BELIZE, BRITISH HONDURAS,
March 7, 1867. {
Dear Sir-since our conversation this morning, |
have seen Mr. Toledo the managing partner Of Young
Toledo & Co. in this colony, and he anhoriscs me to
Offer free of cost hundred (l0O acres OF land to
each blebodied settler who will settle on their lands
in the north and west of the colony
Messrs. Young Toledo & Co. the largest land
holders in this colony, very wealthy and liberal, and
their orders can be relied on.
have time to say more at present, but shall be
able and willing to give you any further information on
this subject hereafter.
hope you will be able to sec Mr. Putnam, and you
may show him any other person interested this
letter. C. Hampstead.
One hundred acres is farm enough for any man.. A
greater area would lead to sovenly agriculture and
efforts at speculative planting the bane of these
States. If any cultiyaes one hundred acres Of
tropical soil WELL he will equal the labor of Hercules
If he and each hand he employs cultivate thoroughly
twenty in annual crops he will do better than
any one within knowledge Large grants leave
desolate wastes between ncighbors, and deprive the
children of schools. Let men take such pieces of
ground to settle upon they USE bring others to
Similar adjoining, and they will raise up school
and churchsupporting settlement readily. The league
and labor grants of Texas were the curse of that
State Had the grants been in small tracts, they
would have benefited it, The Honduranean andholders
are wise in their lberality and liberal they are with
the richest lands within the tropics.
