news Office, Saturday Evening, Au$r. 10.—
Trade continues good in all branches, and or-
ders from western ports are increasing. Or-
ders are more numerous thanbuyeis.
The News telegrams from New York, in ad-
dition to the sailing of the steamship State of
Texas yesterday, one day ahead of her regu-
lar day of sailing, is followed by the an-
nouncement that the City of San Antonio will
Fail on Tuesday, and the City of Houston on
Saturday. The Rio Grande is looked for
hourly. These vessels, in addition to two of
the Morgan line, and the unusual number of
Bail vessels up, sailed, or loading for this port,
indicate the extent of freight that is forced
through New York for Texas direct owing to
the quarantine against New Orleans.
Values to day show continued strength ia
the bacon market, and Hour is advanced 15©
263. per barrel, in response to advices of act
ive and advancing markets in the west. Cof-
fee is firm at the advance before reported.
The hide market is firm and quotations
have been revised. There was a sale of
1500 wet salted made to a Galveston firm
at Houston yesterday. It comprised the
average proportion of light weights, and the
price was 8}£c. A few parcels of wool sold
to day at a private price. The market is
nominally tirm, and there is no stock offering.
In the market for the leading staple the
feeling has Improved. The Cotton Exchange
reports are not as bright as it was expected
they would prove, but their contents have
been to a great extent forestai'ed by
private and public telegraphic informa-
tion. and the complaint of too much grass is
too feeble a pretext to undertake to bull the
market on. The agricultural bureau report,
to appear cn the 15th, will be await-
ed with interest. The short stock of
cotton and continued large deficit in the vis-
ible supply, aa reaffirmed by to-day's tele-
grams to the Cotton Exchange, is the real
source of strength. The News special from
New York, received this evening, states that
private cables announce an improvement of
l-32@.l-16d. in the arrival market. New York
is 5©8 points higher on futures.
COTTON.
The market ha* ruled quiet but steady to-
day with a good demand and sales of 69 bales
at unchanged quotations for the low grades,
but advance on middling and low mid-
dling. The Liverpool market showed a
better feeling to-day, and New York closed
steady for sp >t and 5@3 points higher for fu-
tures. The visible suDply still shows the same
large deficit of over 670,000 bales. This mar-
ket closes "steady" at the annexed Cotton
Exchange
official quotations.
