strnted by Two Whiting Physi-

Galveston. Texas. October 17.--The busl-
ness outlook is most promising for the
coming week. The wholesale houses, which
have bent their energies the past few
days to have quarantine raised, yesterday
telegraphed their travelling men to hustle
for orders. The orders that have accum-
ulated during the week will now be
promptly filled. The port is full OF ships
and the railroads will endeavor to get the
freight into town fast enough to keep
them all loading. The cotton receipts
yesterday were more than 1900 bales,
which is considered good in view of the
prostration that has ensued. The wage
bill for labor on the wharf front last week
exceeded that OF the week before and
amounted to fully $4,000. If business
comes with the volume that many say It
will, the labor bill on the wharf will amount
to 100000 day before the last of the
month.
All trains are again running on schedule
time. the mails are being promptly sent
out and received, and the yellow fever
scare of 1897 is already scarcely more than
a memory.
