the People of Houston.
The directors AZ the Auditorium associa-
fion had q eonfcrefee. last night with some
OF the other bushes men of Houston with
the view Of arriving at some plan by which
foreclosure sale OF the Auditorium can be
prevented and that building saved for the
permanent use for which 1t was con-
structed.
The Auditorium property Is mortgased
FOR 10000 and the mortgage bonds mature
next October, when the property will like
ly be sold under foreclosure unless ina
bonds are paid. The plan now on foot Is 10
relieve the mortgage by increasing the
stock $4,000 and placing it in the hands
CT local holders and thus preserving the
property, which, while it may not have
Teen paying investment to its projectors
has been practically indispensable to Hous

fractions that could not have been Sc cured

ness men should feel an interest AZ tie

NO Dull TIMES IN HOUSTON
A Better Business Than at This
Time Last Year.
BIG INCREASE IN BANK CLEARINGS.
Thus Fnr-stRtistics as TO Cot
ton Receipts.

Habit. believe. has greater influence
with humanity than any other force" re-
marked a well-known business man who is
a director Of tho Houston Business League.
Now everybody knows that we are In the
habit In South Texas Of saying each sue
ceeding June, or might say after the
summer gets settled, that 1t was never SO
dull before
"At the last meeting OF the directory OF
the Houston Business League one Of the
directors suggested to the secretary tina.
he interview number of representative
business houses in the more important
branches of trade. and the result was that
every house interviewed reported a better
business than last year at the same time.
ent dull times are merely imaginary, or in
other words the result OF habit, the fol-
lowing statistics recently compiled will be
OF interest:
The bank clearances for 1897 were $272, =
350,9S2. The first six months OF 1897
amounted to slls,46i,537. Now at the
close OF business last Saturday, June %.
with four more days to complete the first
six months, the bank clearances reached
Sl2S,9l2,06i. or an increase Of over $780,
600, 00U.
THE following statement as to cotton re-
cepts, furnished by Mr.. G. w. Kidd, chair
man OF the ship channel committee, proves
that business Is not dull:
