HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston. Texas, Sept. IA gen
eral air of confidence prevails in bust
ness circles of South Texas. Crops
are beginning to move, stimulating
the demand for labor, while city
banks are being constantly called on
by country banks for money to handle
the increasing crop receipts. Bank
deposits are on the increase and
greater interest is apparent in finan-
cial propositions, hence the demand
for securities.
In the building line great activity
prevails. Grocers have been especial
] ly active in trade, while city business
was large, as it was near the first OF
the month and there was much de-
livering to be done.
The produce business was lively
throughout the week, not excepting
the Jewish holiday. Dry goods job
bers are busy filling in orders and a
satisfactory trade is reported
The continued thrush of cotton re-
ceipts proves the belief that very lit
tie, ii any, is being held. A West
Texas bank announced a plan to
finance cotton for holding for the Is
cent level, but the announcement did
not appear to stay the volume of mar
keted cotton. Long staple cotton pro-
dueed in Fort Bend county is being
held, although Houston cotton factors
are making a bid for it.
The receipts at all Texas points
have been large. Ideal weather is
prevailing for cotton picking, al
though aside from the Atlantic sec
tion of the belt rains are reported
needed Elsewhere there has been but
little moisture.
Grocers of the district will pay
heed to the increasing price for lem
ons. Ten dollars per crate is the mar
ket quotation for this week to the
trade. The market is excited and the
prices are steadily advancing. The
scarcity of stock and the continued
heavy demand caused by the hanging
on of hot weather is ascribed as the
cause.
A trip through the Houston produce
market shows mostly imported truck.
Few crates of Texas tomatoes are

ANOTHER PLEA
FOR ECONOMY
President Sends Special
Message to Congress.
LEGISLATION IS URGED

Executive Suggests Changes In Meth
ods of Handling Government Busi-
ness, Which, He Says. Would Re-
suit in a Saving of Eleven Million
Dollars a Year.
Washington, April 5.-President Taft
sent to congress his second message
of the present year on economy and
efficiency in the government service.
lation designed to save more than $11,-
600, 900 annually to the people of the
United States. Probably his two most
striking proposals were that the local
government offices in the treasury,
postoffice, justice, interior and COM
merce and labor departments be
placed in the classified service and
that the revenue cutter service be
consolidated with the lighthouse serv-
ice in the department of commerce
and labor.
By the first change, the president
said, congress could effect saving
of at least $4,000, 900 annually, and al
though in this message he gave no
figures for the consolidation of the
two services of the sea, in previous
message on the same subject early in
the year he predicted economies that
would total about 81 100000 yearly.
The president concluded his mes
sage with an appeal to congress to ap-
propriate $200, 900 necessary to support
the economy efficiency commission for
another year, with $4,000 additional
for the publication Of the commissions
findings.
