SHIPPING SEASON HAS OPENED
Movement OF Cotton and Grain Is
Nearly a Month Ahead OF
Last Year.

Never in the history of the port of
Galveston has there been better pros
poets for prosperous shipping sea-
son than there is at present for the
coming fall and winter months
There is already an unprecedented
cotton movement for the time of the
season, and with today's receipts of
the new staple the total receipts thus
far for the port are 47,62S square
bales compared with only 13.203 for
the same date last year. The move
ment is therefore seen to be almost
a month In advance of last season.
The bulk of the present receipts is
being hurried across to the European
spinners, who are very eager to get
the product and pay a fancy price
for it, too Naturally, no large single
cargoes of cotton are being sent
across, the shipments being distribut-
ed among the several lines which
have almost daily sailings across the
| Atlantic. The steamer Matteawan OF
| the Hogan line sails today for Havre
with $500 bales.
|
| Chemnitz, which reached port today
from Bremen, will sail from this port
Sept 3D. with 1000 bales of the
new crop and several other large yes
sells will clear with eaqually as large
bookings during the last days of Au-
| gust and the first half of September.
The grain shipments were never
i hna a
and almost the same can be said OF
these shipments as is applied TO that
of the cotton movement. The wheat
crop has been harvested in good
shape and all over the state the yield
was very bountiful. An average of
100 cars are being received in Gal
weston daily at present from the sew
eral roads entering the port, and dur
| ing the month of September the
movement promises to be the heavi-
est in the history of the port for the
! time of the season Two or three
| full cargoes of wheat will be shopped
! at the end of the month and during
| the first week in Septemb Der the
| clearings will be exceptionally heavy.
| The shipment of wheat Tor August
from this port will amount to l,6Oo,-
/ 600 bushels
In addition to her good cotton
shipment, the steamer Chemnitz will
have on board 10000 bushels of
wheat when she departs for Bremen
on the third of next month.
There are today no less than
twenty large ships in port destined
for all ports in the world, and every
one of them is being either loaded
or are disCharging their cargoes of
imports. of which there is a remark.
able increase
More than forty of the largest
ocean vessels are today on the high
seas bound for Galveston 20 take q
part in the great cotton and grain
movement which will take place dur.
ing the closing week In this month
and during the coming 30 days"
