New YORK, August 27.-The iobbing
trade shows an improving degree OF activ-
ity, which conforms TO the reports from all
interior and Western markets. BUYERS
recognize that goods are cheap, and are
making liberal selections, which fact is
also borne out by the frequency of daily
orders from interior iobbers for miscei-
laneous assortments. The demand from
agents, chiefly of this class, is to the ex-
tent OF "a good volume of sales. Colored
cottons are in better movement; staple
cottons are also moving in larger lots.
Seasonable specialties are also doing very
well, though many orders are noted for
woolens. In order request for duplicate
assortments the market is fairly active.

Correspondence Of 7Hc Mr,cx ana IEymld. I
HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, February 2S.-
Our last letter to youwas from Del Rio,
whence our travels were continued I'LL
4! VIC have passed over five thousand
miles Of Texas territory. From
del Rio we 90 farther west, until, be-
coming tired Of seeing rattlcsnukcs,
Indians and McXicans, we rctrace our
steps to San Antonio, and crjny very
much our visits to the old Catholic
missions, churches, etc. While in the
old Alamo church, we could sec the
bullet marks Of tho bloody struggle Of
1886, where SO many true and brave
Texans were SO cruelty put to death.
Leaving here we go south to the great
sugar region Of Texas, where can be
found magnificent plantations, with
soil of unsurpassed fertility, yielding a
fine income to the owners, but rcquir-
ing large capital to run them. We
now go to eastern Texas, OK the great
timber section, where millions Of dol
lars arc invested in saw mills, saving
lumber for the West. There is great
variety of soils i'm this section, and
some fine farming land that can be
bought chcap-at from one to two dol
hrs por acre., Prom here VIC go to
north Texas. This section is tho most
beautiful country that We have ever
seen. In place Of tho dilapilatcd
cabin so common to our southern
land, we soc neat white cottages dotted
over the green prairics, with the best
titled and most productive farms VIC
have ever seen, making from twenty to
forty bushels Of wheat, sixty to one
hundred bushels Of oats, forty to.
eighty bushels Of corn, and from eight
hundred to two thousand pounds Of
cotton por acre; all without any fer
tiliZcrs. Fruits Of all kinds seem, 10
grow to perfection and aro cultivated
on large scale and are shipped to alt
parts. Being very healthy region,
with good water and enough timber
for ordinary use, with pretty flourish
ing cities and towns, plenty otchurchcs
aud good schools, ii is truly favored
hnd. The cultivation Of wheat is
considered moro profitable than cot
ton, as it can be planted and harvested
