GRA1N SLOW TO MOVIE.

Grain is not moving into Galveston as
fast as it was expected. There are sew
eral reasons advanced for this. 1t is
known that the grain which Galveston ex-
pocted 10 get is not moving in other d.
rections. so there Is no alarm at the mac
tiyity here, Chief among the reasons for
the lack Of movement is the excessively
hot weather Wheat fields are not ro,cd
for their comfort during such weather as
has recently prevailed in Texas anl the
farmers are credited with keeping out OF
the sun as much as possible Then again
the crop is large and there is world Of
ihreshing 10 do. In addition TO this the
Texas mills and elevators have increased
their capacity aud ave taking much more
grain than usual.
But the crop is abundant. and the Texas
mills can - all they can care for aud still
have an enormous amount for expert EX-
norters who are already here are tiGing
their time and do not hesitate 10 declare
that the stun is in the fields and that II is
only question of short time until 1t
will find its way into Galveston e!errtors
Elevator is now r1Hdy for business
and elevator b is about completed. ORTIZ
vein Sons, who took the contract for
the lease Of elevator u with them to St
Louis TO submit 1t to their attorneys, have
signed the document and returned IT here
Saturday last This technically completes
the deal which was practically c!Otcd

Flags CpOn FLAGS,

Yesterday the Senate passed bill for the
purchase of flags for school houses in the
District The sum of one thousand dollars
was named. Today's issue of the Congress
sional Record relates that "the bill was
reported to the Senate without amendment,
ordered to be engrossed for a third read
ing. read the third time. and passed" 1t
was done. Then the Senate settled back
content and did no more during the session
but talk The patriotic iberality that in
spired this action is not to be discounted.
Not even the fact that the District appro-
priation bill approved in June last and now
In force contained this same item can de-
tract from the merit of the act. The Sen
ate is determined that there shall be flags
on the school houses of the capital even
if II must legislate twice in each Congress
that desirable end
