Houston, Texas, Feb. 15.-Featuring
the past week was the general rain
throughout Texas. Every line of in
dustry and all business will benefit.
Remarkably warm weather has pre-
vailed and truckers are farther adj
vanced than for many years. Severe
damage would be wrought by heavy
frost.
Unreasonable weather has inter-
fered with trade in winter lines, but
wholesalers report spring orders about
all filed There were no failures in
the Houston district and collections
were fair to good. Building continues
active.
There continues an unsatisfied de-
mand for poultry, the market being
almost bare of hens and young chick
ems. Eggs are on steady market at
Tic. Country butter meets with little
inquiry. Elgin fancy creamery lines
were advanced &c last week owing to
the snow and blizzard in the Middle
West.
The heavy movement in potatoes
and apples continues. The lower coast
country continues to send in lettuce,
beans, okra and other vegetables.
From the immediate vicinity of Hous-
ton strawberries are coming in rapid
ly now and prices fell to $500 per
crate. Arrivals of oranges late in the
week served to ease a scarcity which
was becoming serious. Bananas are in
fair supply at SC.
The outlook for well sustained bust
ness in all South Texas is excellent.

The item of main Importance to the
farmers of Texas Is not increased
acreage, for the Texas farmers are al
ready farming more land than they
can properly cultivate, but is increased
production on fewer acres. The in
crease in agricultural production has
both an individual and community in
terest. The farmer is vitality interest
ed in increasing the yield, as it costs
no more to cultivate an acre of land
that produces two bales of cotton than
it does an acre. of land that produces
only one, and the second bale is clear
profit to the farmer. The farmers who
have followed the advice of our agri-
cultural department in selecting seeds,
methods of culture, combating pests,
ETC., have been able to double produc-
ton.
Texas needs cotton factories. The
cotton manufacturer employs cheap
labor, but so must the cotton farmer,
and if we are going to be manufac-
turing state we must manufacture the
things We produce.
The time for planting shade trees
of all kinds Is at hand, and every citi.
zen of the state who has the interest
of Texas and his community at heart
should plant at least one shade tree.
February % is National Arbor Day,
and If every citizen of Texas would
plant one tree on that day the value OF
from the planting of 3,S96,542
trees would be inestimable and would
repay the trouble and expense of the
planting many times.
Texas produces 20 per cent of the
cotton of the world and on a per cap
ita basis uses one-fourth per cent We
not only produce a large surplus, but,
through lack of diversification concen-
trate our production, making a deficit
in certain lines of production equally
as abnormal as our surplus production

producers and interested in high

Boston, July 19.-There was enough
of championship lawn tennis today in
the Longwood singles to satisfy the
most blase follower of the game. SEN
cational matches in the singles were
quite the order of the thing, and by
reason Of the keenness of play inter-
est was not allowed to lapse for a mo-
ment. The upsets began when G. F.
TOuchard of New York. after having
been on the defensive for the major
part of three seats in his match with
". w. Niles of Boston, rallied and
pulled the match out of the fire in five
sets.
T. r. Pell of New York came within
an ace of defeating NJ. Mclaughlin of
San Francisco, and those who saw the
match believed that the indoor cham
pion would have eliminated his op-
ponent had he not played a hard
fought set match in the doubles pre-
viously.
There were no upsets in the eastern
doubles championship.

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
LARGEST TOTAL OF MONTH.
Advance in Stocks Continued, But il
Less Vigorous Fashion.

New York, July 19.-The advance il
stocks which began late yesterday was
resumed today, although in less vigor-
GUS fashion For the first time ii
several weeks moderate degree OF
outside business was reported anG
transactions mounted up to the largest
total of the month.
The movement was easily the mos
comprehensive of any for weeks past
and while covering of short contracts
played an important part, investments
buying apparently was a contributine
factor The demand for this purpose
was stimulated by yesterdays SHARP
rise, which seems to have originated
in belated recognition of the favorable
crop outlook, together with the mora
favorable turn in the local subway sit
uation.
Some new high records for the yeal
were reached including Union Pacific
which rose more than a point to 1916
3-4. and Canadian Pacific, which once
more sold at the highest figure in its
history, advancing point to 246 ga
Buying of the Hartman issues was
among the days most impressive fea-
lures, all offerings being taken freely
In fact, all the higher grade railways
were in demand, among others the cot
ton carrying roads. Many of the
prominent railroad stocks and some OF
the industrialS ranged a point or more
above yesterdays closing figures dur
ing the greater part of the session.
Late in the day gains were reduced
by profit-taking and resumption Of
short selling. The market withstooG
the pressure fairly well with the ex-
ception of Reading, which lost all OF
its gain.
United States Steel was the mos
active took and sold at above 80
touching its highest price for some
months.
According to board room gossip or
ders for this stock were>received from
out of town points. including Pitts
burg. The NOV ement in United States
Steel was coincident with the return
from abroad of the president, who
made some optimistic comments or
trade prospects.
The several issues of the INTERIOR
ough- metropolitan company were
prominent in the days dealings. Late
in the day it was announced that the
expected settlement of the traction ne
gotiations had been reached, insurins
the awarding of subway contracts to
the company.
In no branch of the securities mar
ket was the revival of activity more
marked than in bonds. The demand
was fairly broad. ELECTROMAGNETIC
ropolitan 1-2s was the active feature
many large blocks changing hands
New York 4 las, which were under
pressure yesterday, partially recovered
today.
Trading was confined largely 1c
these issues. however the demand fol-
standard railway bonds being nc
larger than on other recent days.
The total sales, par value. reached
the unusually large total of 1896, 900
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.
