Galveston. Texas October 1s.-rhere are
more vessels In Galveston harbor now than
ever In the history OF the port. Fifty
eight steamships and six large coasting yes-
seis are berthed two and three deep at
some OF the wharves, and nearly all Of the
ships are either being loaded or dis
charged.
BUSINESS is not dull along the wharf
front. 1t is booming. and the man who
Is employed In the vicinity has little
time 10 converse with anyone except on
subjects that directly pertain to business.
is there much doing on the wharves?"
inquired reporter this moraing OF an
einpioye OF one Of the big ship brokerage
Trims who do business through this mort.
Much doing?" he replied, well, you
ought to be with me down on the dock for
nttie While. 1t Is a constant rush from
aayoreak to sunset, and sometimes work
late at night. If people complain OF dull
times In Galveston, just bring them to the
wharf. and they will soon learn their mis-
take"
The remarks of this gentleman apply
to every portion of the docks From pier
~ 10 pier 30 there is a procession OF big
ocean going vessels Every one of them
takes out from $500 to 10000 bales OF cot.
ton, besides large quantities OF cottonseed
meal, oil cake, grain and other cargo.
The recent yellow fever scare had little
eHect upon the business along the wharf
front There was a lot Of cotton on hand
awaiting shipment. and the men were at
work putting 1t in the ships holds as IL
they never knew there was even n sus-
pected case of yellow fever in the city
NOW that It has been proven that the
FEVER scare was a Islander against the port
cotton is beginning to come In at lively
rate, and several switch engines are in
use along the wharves to handle the cars
Vessels are now loading for nearly every
Important port in Europe. Cargo is being
received for Liverpool Havre. Genoa
Bremen. Hamburg; in fact, a shipper has
little difficulty in sending his freight out
OF Galveston to any port in the world.
There seems to be no let-up in the bust
ness, and as consequence shipping men
and laborers alike are happy.
If $4,000 was paid out last Saturday
for labor on the wharf 500, 900 will be paid
out this week" So spoke well known
man today who employs several hundred
laborers on the dock.

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.
Louis Letter Places His Millions al the Dis.
posal OF His Son.

Chicago. Dee. 20.-Interest in the big
December wheat deal was greatly in
creased, today. by the arrival from
Washington of Louis Letter the million
aire eX-merchant of Chicago. and the
substantial admission by him that his
millions were at his sons command in
his struggle with other interests.
My son has plenty of money to pay
for what lac has purchased" said Mr..
Letter. senior About his wheat opera
tions he has informed me fully. The
quality of wheat which he has purchased
is OF the highest and | am sure will be in
demand at a higher price than he has
paid for it. | am well pleased with the
situation.
George B. French of the Letter clique,
stated that the bull combination will have
about 100000 bushels of wheat to take
care of. The tactics of Armour i'm rush
ing millions of bushels to the Chicago
market, he says. have caused the Letter
following to change some of their plans
very materially. 1.-The impression that
we are going out of the market as soon
as we conclude this months trading, Is
hardly true said Mr.. French. I'VE pro-
pared to say that we will ship all our
wheat abroad, but we will sell it the best
we can.
There was another big increase i'm the
amount of contract wheat in store here.
today over 100000 bushels being added to
the stocks. Friday and Saturday. nearly
:. 100000 bushels were delivered here. all
of which was taken by the Letter people.
At least 10000 bushels more are expect
is expected to come the final test of
for Letter. The 100000 bushels
delivered, today, had not the slightest
weakening effect on December.
