THKODOlt THE ISIiANI) C1TV.
Tho GnlvoBtoii News of Sopt. i con-
tnins i synopsis of the commerce of
the port Of tinlycston for tho trndo
year Just closed which shdWB tho
breaking of many recbi'ds. There hns
been a general IncrcaBd in tho 1'rado
of tho port.
Tho Texnsv cotton .crop of 1900-07
amounted to "4003247 bales as com-
pared wjth 2521885 bnlcB (or 19050C.
Thd' total receipts at Galveston woro
3891G95 bales compared wllh 2C74-
575 bales for 1905-00r Tho porcontago
as compared with tho Texas crop) mar-
ketcd'at Galveston was 90.7. The por-
contago of tho Texas arid Territory
crops marketed at Galveston was
SC.7.
Tho bank clearings for thp year
Just closed woro $742929000 "on In-
crease of 1C 5-10 per cent ovct"- the
preceding year.
The total value of foreign oxports
for tho past fiscal year wasi $237891-
721 compared with a value of $1GG230-
884 for the preceding year.
No town of such small proportion
bo far as population Is concerned has
over done anything llko tho ImmonBO
amount of business which Is passing
through the port of Qalvoston. A. cit-
izen of London or Liverpool not in-
formed as to the size of Galveston
wotild draw the natural conclusion af-
ter reading of the immense strides
made hero in exports and imports that
the port had back of it a city of at least
200000 6r 300000 popubitlon. Hero wo
have a port of 40000 people handling
foreign exports In twelve months valu-
ed at $237984721 foreign Imports val-
ued at $7000000 and a coastwise trade
amounting to over $200000000. The
record for the past fiscal year shows
an increase of 43 per cent In for.elgn
exports over the preceding year; nn-in-crease
of 128.5 per cent during the past
five years and an increase of 400 per
cent during the past ten years.
A casual study of the statistics will
convince any one thatv the saying In
dollars and centg to the producers of
the country more than equals each
year the total amount of money expend
ed by the Federal Government In mak-
ing Galveston a deep water port. Dur-
ing the twelve years Galveston has
had deep water the producers the tax
payers have got their money back
many times over for the original cost
of securing deep water. Galveston has
developed into the natural gateway
and deep water port for one-fourth of
the territory of the United States.
Tne total value oi cotton ana oy
prpducts exported through Galveston
fort the past year was $211409055
compared with a valuation of $144063-
247 for the preceding year. t

ported through Galveston during tho
past year was $16127197 compared
with a valuation of $11255019 for the
preceding year. a
The total value of all provisions ex-
ported through Galveston during the
past year was $3383917 compared
with a valuation of $2424623 for tho

factures of exported through Galves-
ton during the past year was $343883S
compared with a valuation of $3178-
078 for the preceding year.
The ' total value of foreign good9
discharged from vessels at Galveston
during the past year was $8803419.
Goods valued at $1349298 passed
through the port destined to other coUii
tries and goods valued at $420140
were destined to Interior and other
pbrtB of the country.
Tho total value of foreign goods en-
tered at the Galveston custom house
for the past fiscal year was $7033981
compared with a valuation of $5018-
315 for the previous year and of a val-
uation of $635670 for the fiscal year
189G-07. This Is an increase of 40
per cent for tho year 1906-07 over tho

per cent during a period of ten years.

loadod cars were handled at Galvos-
