seem TO be In earnest In regard to navi-
eating the Trinity. Two boats are being
built at that place, intended for the fall

Of carrying $50 bales Of cotton, and with
steam power sufficient to run her ten
miles an hour. Four boats will ply be-
tween Galveston and Dallas this winter,
if-sthe freights will justify.
One merchant has no right to obtain
information through the Customhouse
detrimental to another merchants in
terest. For instance, a merchant NAV
load vessel with merchandise for GER
tain port, which he desires to be con-
eealed or private. He fears by pubica-
ton of his exports other parties may
send similar csrgoes, and the intended
market be OverstOeked. In cases Of this
kind, which occur very often, 9ll that is
required for shippers under contingent
cies Of this character, is to request the
officials not to expose the
manifest.

Ons is not making very rapid progress
