AUSTIN, April 9. Z
The general tone of traffic remains quiet but
satisfactory Tha demand for spring and summer
goods continues satisfactory bnd the volume of
business compares fsyorsbly with that of the
came time last year. Notwithstanding the loss of
trade IL several districts formerly tributary to her
commerce, by reasonof new lines Of transportation,
Austin continues to hold her own and with fair
prospect Of eventually overcoming the adverse in
nuences now operating against her and assuming
trade proportions commensurate With the growing
development of the surrounding country. Since
our last weekly report cotton has undergone con
siderable advance, while butter and eggs are
triae lower. There are few changes in other COM
modities.

The Senate Committee Opposes In.
crease OF the Commissioners
Powers.

MONTGOMERY, January The senate
Judiciary committee has by an almost
unanimous vote rejected the bills in,
creasing the powers of the railroad com
mission. Two bills, one in the senate
and one in the house, have been intro,
duced to repeal the commission law, and
it looks as though the bills would be
pressed for passage by their authors.
The railroads are not suspected OF insti@
eating the introduction of the bills or be-.
lieved to be taking any part in helping
to pass them. There seems to be a gem
eral sentiment throughout the state that
the commission is doing no good, and
that the people and the railroads would
get along better without it.
