AN ENORMOUS CARGO.
The biggest cargo that ever went
out of Galveston and what is believed
to be the largest that ever went out OF
the gulf. is that of the British steamer
lrada which cleared Friday. She has
on board. in round and square bales
the equivalent of 26.40O square bales
also $4,000 bushels of wheat and 2OOO
DarreIs of flour. The valuation of
this cargo is twice that of the next
largest cargo winch went out on the
european IN September. 1897. One
cause of the great difference in the
value is the price OF the cotton. being
great deal higher now than it was
in 1897. The value of the cargo of
the Irada is S1.3S1.312.
