Contemplating is going busily
forward, but the fields have got the
worms beyond the power of yormi-
fugo TO remedy. Whole fields have
been stripped baro of leaves the
last few days, and tho hopes of
large crop in tho lower country are
measurably ruined. The general
report is that from Il third to half
a crop will probably be secured.
Business is obscrvabiy 'livening
up in Houston. and dealers in staple
goods arc making large sales to the
country In many lines of goods |
do not doubt that Houston is the
cheapest market for the general
buyer to be found. The merchant
who buys Of our largest iobbing
houses, that Of Hutchins for in
stance, finds himself as well suited
and on equally good terms with
those who buy in New York, while
from the immense stock of L. w.
House the whole round of buyers
can supply all their reasonable de-
sires. Numerous houses of less pre-
tension are equally acco mmodating,
and Houston seems to be making
bid for trade which the somewhat
too greedy disposition manifested
for two or three years back has
driven from her, merchants.

Competition between means of
transportation between Houston
and Galveston is becoming a great
advantage to the State freights and
passages over this fifty miles are
cheap, and every effort of either
party, to add new facilities TO its
own traffic but stimulates the other
to greater exertions. This season
there will be two trains day over
the Galveston road, while the steam
boat company VIII run 1our Doats,,
giving at least nine steamers a week
each way, Among the steamers is
the T., N. Bagby, now on the way
out, boat that has been built, by
Capt. Sterritt this summer and is
said to. be far ahead Of anything Of
the kind ever brought to Texas
This and the Whitclaw, a magnifii-
cent boat, as all travellers, know,
and which has just been thoroughly |
oyerhauled and renewed IRON stem
to stern, will be tho passenger boats,
and as usual will 10 doubt carry a
large share of the passengers be-
tween the two places. ,.,.,, Ia
