Few persons ARE aware Of the extent
10 which tho sweets Of life are manu-
featured In this "City Of tho Soa," II
We were 10 ask even well informed per-
sous how much candy was manufacture
cd IN Galveston, they would answer u
few hundred pounds, Vet one arm, J."
H. BoltO Il lir0i on strand, below
Iwenty.ilrsi boil from i've 10 HiN bar
rels OF sugar u day, and more when
they work nj night, ~ lhcy are nov
compelled 10 do, pnssluR into their
establishment yesterday wuH like en-
terlng the main iluc Of Ncbuchndne2'
gars fiery furnace, There were great
kettles OF boiling sugar aud brond
stone tables ON which the candy was
laid In various stages OF manu- incturc.
The Bolio Brothers are making all
kinds OF candy That ARE made In New
York. Hitherto their manufacture hns
been confined % the plain Kind Of stick
striped aud barber pole-but they
now make all kinds of drops chocolate
aud gum, burnt almonds, nnd all the
various Kinds OF fancy confectionery,
luscious In taste and beautiful n APP
pearanCe. They even manufacture
That most costly OF all Injuries, sweet
kisses.n Hitherto all limitations of
fruit aud fancy objects have been im-
ported from New York, Now they
viii he manufactured on the premises,
and New York will get neither profit
nor toll from Galveston, Workmen,
skillul In all the manIpuallons of
sugar, have been engaged especially TO
prepare an enormous stock Of those
elegancles In the cOlleclloncrs nrl mat
are so much IN demand during the hol-
idnys. Many u barrel null OF sugar
plums will Kriss Kringle buy rom the
Botto Brothers, aud many are the eX-
quislte ornaments they will hang on
Christmas trees In every part OF the
state. IT Is well known to all mer-
chants that northern made candy VIII
not stand the humidity Of Texas eli
mate. Instead of making candy from
pure sugar only, these experts iXwith
with IL terra dibd--whte earth. Bul
no sooner is the case opened than the
sticks become limp and soft as II wet
cloth. Texas candy-at least that mnde
by 3otto Brothers does not absorb
moisture, but always continues firm
and snappy rs an old maid Nor Is
this the worst of IL; aduterated candy
Is very unwholesome, and no sooner Is
il in the stomachs of the little lnno'
cents than they oct up such q howi Tor
soothing syrup rs touches the toughest
maternal heart. Resides being large
manufacturers of candies ANA oonlec-
tionery, the Botto Brothers deal heav-
ily I'm nuts and fruits. They have at
tile present time several cords OF pea
nuts. and in their season will do large
trade i'm pecans. As fruit dealers their
business is extensive. During the past
eenson they received heavily from
MICHIGAN, ana are now making eaten
siye arrangements for the fall orange
trade. One of their purchases, made
the other day, was n thousand barrels
of Louisiana oranges, to be Delivered
in lots, AZ two days notice, rresh
plucked from the trees,
III addition to these, they have COM
pieted arrangements with fruit deal
In Kansas and Missouri for weekly
shipments of apples from those states;
These, coming as they will by the full
car load, will be ut a comparatively
small charge Of freight. Botto Broth
ers will also receive full and constant
assortment OF California frpir5.
I'VE have been thus profuse in our
details that the country buyer may
know that Galveston Is a good market
In which 10 bay confectionery ana
