COTTON RATES.
Figures to Houston Given Out, bu,
Not the General Circular.

Austin, Texas September %. One more
day has passed without the announcement
OF decision in the cotton rate aud com
press regulation matter.
The commission this evening authorized
the following rates for the transportatlo on
Of cotton to Houston: From Manila IA
cents per 100 pounds from Dewey Is, from
San Felipe %.
In addition the International and Great
Northern Railroad company WIS author
lied 10 refund the entire charge for con-
centrstins at Taylor cotton from Thor1daIe
and Intermediate points which is subse-
quently shipped from Taylor via the In
terna'ional at the rates applying from
TAYLOR to final destination.
The Houston and Texas Central railroad
was authorized TO refund the entire charge
for concentrating al MeNa cotton from
Kosse and Intermediate points which is
subsequently shipped from Mexa via the
Houston and Texas Central railroad at the
rates applying from Mexia to final destlua-
ton.

per cord on wood and tan bark from Sea-
brook to Houston ana Galveston.
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1898-09-24
OCEAN RATES.
Only About Two Cents Higher Than
Last September.

Galveston, Texas, September 23.--Ocean
rates are still advancing, but more slowly
than they were and the indications arc
the rise Will not go much higher. j. Mol
Ter & Co. are quoting SIS cents per 100
pounds today on cotton to Liverpool. As
most bales weigh more than 500 pounds Il
will thus be saeD that the cost OF trans
portation VIII amount fully 20 So bale.
A comparison with the rate this tima last
year shows very little difference. In the
last week Of September, 1891, Fowler &
McVitie quoted 1892 OF pence Per pound
whtch-conyerted into our money--giyes a
rate OF IS cents per 100 pounds. On Sep
TENDER %, 1896, the rate was exactly the
same as above quoted. The quick jump
upward of tbs rates during the past twenty
davs is no doubt responsible for the public
interest that Is centered aroun1 this ques-
ton.
A ship brokers' business is very ca
PRECIOUS one. II is an easy matter to lose
$4,000 on a single trip Of an ocean steamer.
True they may make as much, but they
all say it is pretty much of a game Of
chance.
