fact. A representative OF the Chaps
smelling company OF California Is now
travelling through Texas placing orders
FOR goods TO arrive By the first steamer,

will be low enough TO greatly encourage
the interchange OF products, and Texas
exporters should be enabled to further
cultivate the cotton trade already begun
with japan.
