Here is nut for those to crack who pre-
dcted that the completion of the Texas "
New Orleans railroad would revolutionize
and divert trade from Galveston to the Cres-
cent City. The cotton receipts Of Galveston,
Wednesday, for the present season, were
l0,9OS bales, against 1905 bales for the same
date last year, difference of 1852 bales;
while trade for the month of July and
August has exceeded that of any preceding

'osding wholesale houses, they say it
is rapidly increasing in volume, and pre-
dict that Gslve-toH will have one Of
