Our state has never had an executive OF

| THE WOOL MARKET.
Mr.. George Bowie informs us that there
has been shipped from this point up to
date 95, 900 pounds of wool and thinks The
amount will be brought to about 10y 0OO
pounds. The prices OF wool here, as else
where, are anything but satisfactory this
season, There are no speculative wool
buyers in the west at this time, and eastern
manufacturers seem to be buying merely
enough to supply orders for goods. The
new tariff law which goes into effect IN July
Is regarded as the cause. WINE
are bringing fair prices; the great bulk Of
Texas wool is not yielding as satisfactory
results as many growers had expected.
| Nearly all the wool of this section has been
handled in Henrietta, and the sellers have
probably done as well here, If not better,
than they could have done elsewhere. We
have heard of an instance or two where par
ties have lost money by shipping ana are are

done as well as they are doing elsewhere.

gave the editors, individually and collec-
lively, rousing welcome. The vast re-
sources of the city were severely taxed,
there being nearly ten thousand visitors TO

Some OF the papers continue to talk about
the penitentiary management 1t is q
matter that has elected more attention
than anv other subject in the political eco
nomy Of the state, but we think the state
should have years trial before being criti-
cisid. 1t yet remains TO be seen whether
resumption is practicable or not. Already
some Of the wise ones are predicting de-
fciency at the end of twelve months OF at
least SlOO, 900, which, IL IL proves true. will
be serious reflection upon the capacity OF
the present administration. As for us, we
can't understand what is to create den
ciency. There are some very wise editors
In east Texas, however, who seem 10 know
