News Office. Thursday, October 21.—Trade
in nearly all branches lacked animation to-
day, although there might be an exception
made of drugs, which have been active for
some time past.
In the meat market jobbers found the de-
mand better, under advices of firmer markets
in the West. The supply of bacon on the spot
is light, and sales have been principally to
arrive. Some sellers are not offering at all.
Flour ?s easier in response to weaker markets
in the West, and choice and fancy were re-
duced 5e. at St. Louis to-day.
St. Louis telegrams to the Exchange showed
a deeline in the price of No. 2 wheat of one
cent. The options were reduced
Kansas City reported No. 2 %c., and No. 3 a
cent lower. Chicago closed with 99®£c. asked
for October deliveries of No. 2 spring, a decline
of l>£c.; Novembers dropped 1 y£c.; and De-
combers fell from UX6%o. yesterday to 101 >£c.,
the closing figure this evening.
Mess pork closed lower at $18 62^, against
$19 00 last evening, and $12 00 for Novembers,
a decline of 25c. Lard is 7>£c lower, at 8.10c.
for October, and 12%c, off on Novembers. Dry
salt meats declined 10c. on Novembers.
There was some inquiry for wool to-day and
sales of several parcels transpired at the full
measure of quotations.
New Louisiana sugars were on the market
to-day, but buyers were offish and sales were
unimportant. The movement promises to pick
up rapidly when the Louisiana crop begins to
move in earnest. Large consignments are
looked for from the Teche district.
Coffee was in fair inquiry, and there were
several transactions in both spot and arrivals,
which substantiate yesterday's revised prices.
In the cotton market, the sales were small,
but this was as much due to the firmness ol
holders as to any other cause. The firmness
and large business in spot at Liverpool is at-
tributed to puicliases for Manchester. The
regular revision of quotations for the week
Showed an advance of on ordinary and
l-l€d on good ordinary, low middling and mid-
dling uplands—Orleans is unchanged. The
figures for Texas cotton, as received by special *
telegram to the Exchange, mu'.e the very sig-
nificant showing that TeXas cotton is worth j sd
more in Liverpool than uplands. It has al-
ways been worth more, but at no time since
1874 has its superiority officially given it more
than l-16d the advantage in lirice. The fol-
lowing is a comparison of to-day's prices:
Grade. Uplands. Texas.

REVISED GALVESTON CLASSIFICATION.
A very important step was taken to-day in
the matter of classification by the quotation
committee, and the following notice was bulle-
tined on the black-board of the Exchange:
NOTICE.
On and after October 25, quotations will be based
on new types adopted by the Board of Directors.
Faetors are requested to examine the new stan-
dards. ,0 Qcotation Committee.
RELATIVE COST OF KOOS AND hog PRODUCTS.
For the purpose of indicating approximately
the relative cost of hogs and the product, cal-
culated on the basis of a usual relation of
values and yield of the different kinds of the
product, the Cincinnati Price Current offers
the following table:
-—Hogs, for 100 lbs
$3 00 $4 00 $5 '
Sides, rough, per B).... 4 27 5 70
Sides, clear rib, per It>.. 4 47 5 90
Shoulders, per lb 2 68 3 57
Hams, average, per lb.. 5 20 5 92
Lard, unpacked, per ft. 4 93 6 57
Lard, in tierces, per lb. 5 30 6 95
Mess pork, per bbl 9 40 12 13
The above allows $1 30 per barrel for pack-
age and salt, for mess pork, and represents all
meats green. The cost of cured meats would
be 40 to GOc. per 100 pounds highor. The cost
of carrying product per month is 20 to 25c. per
barrel for pork. 12% to 15c. per 100 pounds for
lard, and 15 to 25c. per 100 pounds for moats.
Extending the calculation so as to show what
mess pork at a given price represents approxi-
mately in vaiue of hogt, the Price Current ob-
tains the following:
$s.00 Mess Pork is equivalent to $2.50 gross for hogs

The calculations given above are original and
are presented as an answer to inquiries fre-
quently made. The allowance of $1.30 for bar-
rel and salt is a minimum figure. Until recent
years lard ruled relatively higher, and conse-
quently sides were proportionately lower in
cost
According to the Price Current 44 the hog
yields a large proportion of product which
does not go into the mess pork barrel. To
count upon the cost of the barrel of pork, witli
.hogs at a given price, calculation must be
made for the value of other portions of the
product, as these do not always boar a like re-
lation to the cost of the animal per 100 pounds,
and also to the proportion of the hog which
goes into either product. When hogs cost
$5 00 per 100 pounds gross, if lard is realizing
8c per pound, the cost of sides, is four-fifths of
one cent per pound less than if the lai d should
sell for six cents. Likewise the relative varia-
tion in value of shoulders and hams contribute
to the changeable rela&ve cost of sides. When,
again, the proportion of the different kinds of
products varies, as to the condition of the ani-
mal, and more or {ess according to the varying
relative market values of the product."
THE JTEW YORK WOOL MARKET.
Saturday's Shipping List says:
The business completed during the period un-
der review, though fair, does not reach the full
proportions promised toy the movement com-
menced earlier in the week. There has been,
however, quite an active inquiry, and the ex-
pressions on all sides are of a decidedly im-
proved character, the prospects for an increased
business being considered one of the certainties
of the near future. Manufacturers are inclined
to talk more favorably of the situation, and in
instances some have anticipated their wants,
expressing belief th it a further shrinkage of
values it* not at all probable, and that any
change that may occur will be for the better.
New wools from Texas are being received, and
the sales making are within the range o£ ltttgt
2ic., the outside price for choice grades. Car-
pet stock continues to find a fair outlet, and
the tone of the market is firm. A cable frum
London, dafcxl 14th instant, says: 4* For do-
mestic there is decidedly moie inquiry: cloth
ing unchanged; long carpet strong, but filling
unchanged.r The sales include 37,000 poundis
spring Texas. 23<gt28c.; 15,000 pounds medium
and low unwashed Western, 25<&J0c.
Tits PRICE OF PAPER.
A reliable authority says:
There continues a general complaint among
manufacturers about the drouth, which inter-
feres considerably in executing orders, while
on the other hand it helps to strengthen prices.
The supply of nearly all descriptions in tho
hands of dealers is being gradually reduced,
wliile many are scarcely able to fill their orders
with promptitude. News remains firm at 7^
($7% oeefcs for rag and wood, and 7% for con-
tract lots. Manilla wrappings rule quite
steady, with demand very good.
SUGARS AT S£W YORK.
Saturday's Shipping List reports es follows:
In raw sugar, a good business has been trans-
acted, and the market has developed a lair
amount of buoyancy, an advance of full\- %c
having been established by the sales reported
during the past few days. The stronger tone
of the mai'fcet has been due in a measure to the
improved demand and increased disposition of
consumers to obtain stock, md in part to the
encouraging cable advices received from Eu-
rope. There has been an advance of Is in beet
from tho lowest point, owing to the low test of
the juice now being extracted, which points to
a smaller out-turn tlian was anticipated, and
in the Loudon market there has been an ad-
vance in the vaiue of fair refining of 7^d per
cwt. from the last quotations. Hare, sales
have been made at 8 7-16c for ¥7 test centrifu-
gals. while fair to good refining was sold on the
basis of fully 7%<g7^c. Tfce market closed
last evening strong at our quotations,
with a fair demand and a cheerful,
confident tone. The cutting down of
the production of refined has curtailed
the supply, .mid refiners have held their
stocks at" higher prices, which have be»jn
maintained by an improveu demand. The
market has ruled fairly steady, with tbedemaniI

REFINED PETROLEUM.
The New York List of Saturday says:
The market declined yesterday to 11% cents,
with, however, verv little business, buyers
having been taken I>y surprise at the sudden
and unlooked for change. The decline in re-
fined. however, had apparently no effect on
other products, previous prices for which were
maintained. Sales since our last, about 25,000
bbls., mainly New York delivery, at 11%<&12>£
cents. Cases remain 14$£(£15M oents, with
about 35.000 sold for the Mediterranean and
Levant on private terms.
SPIRIT OF THE NEW YORK MARKETS.
The Shipping List epitomizes the position of
the leading markets on Saturday last as fol-
lows:
With few exceptions the merchandise and
produce markets have been subject to little
change during tho vhreo days. VV heat has ad-
vanced on light receipts and strong estern
and European advices, with a bri<=k speculative
and export trade Other cereals and flour
have also^ruled firm. Provisions have been
less active but firmer. Refined petroleum has
declined half a cent per gallon. Spirits tur-
pentine and rosin have again materially ad-
vanced. Cotton has shown a declining ten-
dency. Hides and leather continue dull, with
prices in favor of buyers. Sugar has ad-
vanced. Coffee steady and tea depressed.
Iron and other metals dull and unchanged.
Drugs and chemicals are quiet. Tobacco is
firm. Goal is unusually dull for the period of
the year. Manufactured goods generally are
becoming less active as the season approaclies
the close. Ocean freights are firm, with con-
siderable activity in grain and the minor
s trade.
MATTERS AT MANCHESTER.
Smith, Edwards & Co.'s last circular, re-
viewing matters in the Manchester market,
does not take a cheerful view of the outlook,
but nevertheless makes the following encour-
aging statement which concludes with a sen-
tence that partially explains the late improve-
ment in the Manchester market:
There can be little doubt that the enormous
production which has l>een turned out this year
has only been pushed into consumption by
leaving" very poor results to the producer. The
sales of cloth for months past have practically
been based upon a price of 6d for cotton, and
there seems little hope of raising the level uf
prices. The shipments to the Eastern markets
have reached prodigious dimensions this
autumn, say ninety millions of vards
to Calcutta for August, and pro!) ably
as much for this month. In one point of view
this is very satisfactory, as showing the im-
proved condition of India, where the monsoon
has been satisfactory; but ou the other hand it
T>ortends. we fear, overloaded markets, and a
dull time for shippers. The home trado has
not improved materially, as was hoped for
after the good harvest, and till it does so wc-
suspect there will be little life in Manchester
and little profit te either spinners of manufac-
turers. The most favorable feature in connec-
tion with the trade of the district is that the
vast production of the year has all been sold,
few or no stocks remain on hand, and we
should say that upon the whole, the market is
pretty sound, though quite without buoyancy.
COTTON.
Thare was not the samo activity in the demand
to-day, and factors entertained enhanced ideas of
values, owing to tho continued strength and activ-
ity of the Liverpool spot market, where 15-.000 bales
were sold, 12,000 of which were American, and
prices were revised and advanced—ordinary ^d.:
and good ordinary, low middling mid middling up-
land l-16d..Orleans remaining unchanged. (Middling
Texas is now quoted *£d. higher than uplands, a
superiority not conceded to it since 1874). New
York also revised quotations of spot, by putting up
all grades of Texas, above good ordinarv, J£c.; low
grades and uplands unchanged. Futures are very
dull, with light sales, and closed dull, but steady at
aljout last evening's prices. Deliveries at Liverpool
also closed dull, at l-32d. reduction on some months.
The sales in this market to-day footed up 1475 bales
at unchanged quotations, and the closing steady.

HEW TO ILK LETTER.
[Special Correspondence of the News.]
New York, October 1(3.—The Chronicle's
leader to-day says tl»e stock market is " almost
wholly within control of the leading operators,
and the ups and downs are prettv much at
their bidding. Investors buy what they want,
but there is no general outside support to
prices."
The above is a correct condition of the
market, and if to the above is added tho fact
that most of the leading operatives are bulls,
the dangerous condition of tho market to an
outsider will readily be perceived. It is : bad
market for safety that has not a good round
short interest in it. and such the stock market
to-day does not have.
Nevertheless, they are still kiting. Money Is
cheap, the hulls can carry stocks for next to
nothing, and while this is the case, aud 3.\& is
"going to be elected," they feel safe. The ad-
vance, however, is bv uo means epidemic. To-
day it included Shore. Michigan Central,
Canada Southern. Wabash, Roadiug and
Western Union. The policy appeared to be to
take up ond stock and advance it, and then
take up another. Northwest sold up to LLr^'.
but the supply was too free, and the price toil
to 112^, rallying agaiu to 113}The preferred
sold up to 139%? while the New York Central,
which pays 8 j»er cent, against Northwest's 7,
sold at 134%, Erie was soid heavily, if the re-
ported sales are correct, at an average of 44%.
The market closed higher on Karais-Texas,
Wabauh preferred, C. C. and I. C. and Iron
Mountain, with the rest of the hst firm. C. C.
and I. C.s were notably active toward the close,
while the incomes advanced to 4t>>4.
The Oder delivered $763,000 gold, and the
Britannic $iX).0U0.
Coffoo looks as if it might bo on bottom, as it
can not be bought better than ld^c for fair Rio,
with some dealers asking 13%c.
Governments opened firm, but closed easy;
the 4s sold at 109^, with offerings at the quo-
tation, and not taken. Business moderate.
Sterling has lost about all the advance ob-
tained in the middle of the week, and was
down to-day at 4.81 1-Ai against 32:v. the coun-
ter rate. Demand was also obtainable at 4.63^
4.33%, against 85. the nominal asking rale.
Cables were 4.«4. Prime CO day bills were of-
fered for next week, buyers option, at 4.51^.
which would indicate that the counter rate will
be changed on Monday.
There is more toue to sugar, and prices
are fuMv ^c better on the week, fair refining
being worth 7*%(g7%c. Refined has not. as
yet, followed in the wake of raw, except iu
yellows.
It is now pretty widely settled that the great
strength of the w heat* market is the result
chiefly of the heavy short interest that exists.
When the European crops promised so well
early in the aeason. and van* owu crop was
known to be the greatest ever raised, the dis-
positiutfi w>. to " go short,'"' ami this short in-
terest now finds difficulty in filling its engage-
ments.
The same thing, it is to-day felt, holds good
of the great stapie, cotton. £ar

very careful estimates do not now go above

A Perpeirated Outrage.
Owing to tbe great popularity of Simmons Liver
Regulator and its und< mbte< 1 curative power, imita-
tors through-ait the country are manufacturing
Worthless imitations under the shadow of its good
nam»*. so garbled as to mislead those who are not
011 their guard. We most earnestly beg the publio
to aid us in our efforts to protect their health and
help us in our task of bringing these unprincipled
imposters to the bar of justice. Buv no Simmons
Liver Regulator unless incased in a White Wrapper
having a large red Z in the center and the signature
of J. H. Zeilin & Co. on the side. Before you buy.
scrutinize the package most carefully for the above
signs of genuineness. The remedy to detect fraud
is in your own hands. Do not allow some other
substitute to be palmed off under a similar sound*
ing name.
An Englishman on Texas.
[To the News.]
Northumberland, England, October5,1880.
I had mailed to me recently a copy of the
Galveston "Weekly News." I felt glad when
I read in tbe columns of the News that that
paper was doing much in trying to reform the
judiciary and criminal laws of Texas. I am
an Englishman by birth, but I am an Ameri-
can citizen; so I am greatly interested in the
great Republic, not of one State, but all in-
cluded ; so I am as much interested in the wel-
fare of Texas as in any other portion of the
Union. It looks to me to be a god-send to the
Lone Star State for the "Weekly News to
come boldly to the point and use its iafluence-
to vindicate the character of that fair State. I
am well aware that there i* good society ii
many parts of Texas, but in others it is quit*
the reverse. The News is taking toe right stei
to bring immigration and prosperity to Texas
I have backed up Texas through evil as wel
as good report: but, on the other hand, there
is much need of reform in Texas. Texas hn_s a
hard name in England. I know many immi-
grants who would have migrated to Texas, but
bad reports drove them .elsewhere. There is
looming up a bright future for Texas, if her
citizens will only do their duty by enacting
stringent Laws and carrying them out to the
letter. Then, juki not till then, will immigra-
tion flow to Texas by thousands npon thousands.
There is another drawback for checking immi-
gration to the Southern States. It is tbe cursed
hatred between the two great political parties.
The Southern States are hliud to then* own in-
terests. If thev would forget the war, and
shake hands with the North, all would be welL
The suu of prosperity would shine on the
South. The tide of immigration would steer
southward. Now. is slavery not the founda-
tion of all your political troubles? Had there
been 110 slaves, there would have been no war
between the North and South.
What would have been the position of the
South at this date had the South never knowu
slavery i The South would have been rolling in
wealth aud peopled with an intelligent race of
white people. H.ts not the South unproved not
only hi wealth, luit intelligence also since the
]iteration of the slaves? These are facts which
can not be set aside. Now, what divine right
has a man to hold men in involuntary servitude?
Men that will enslave the negro wouid enslave
a white man the same it they had the power.
The Southern people know full well they them-
selves were the cause of the war. There are
bad. evil-desiguing politicians in both parties.
Party is only a name. It matters little which
party holds the helm if they only steer the ship
in the right direction. But should the Demo-
crab* get tlie power, how about the repudiating
of the national debt? Not only that, but the
Southern war claims? Now, could any sane
man bring forward any argument to justify
the claims of the South? Iu the first place the
South took up arms against the Federal Govern-
ment. The South got whipped. What would
have l«eeu the fate of the leaders had thev been
under anv other government but the United
States? They would have been at this date
mouldering in then* graves. I want you to
understand that I have no prejudice against
the South. America is ».t this date the most
prosperous nation hi the world. But how much
luori would she prosper ' tbe feelings between
the North aud South we; o harmonized. Now,
if you will address a letter to lue on emigration
to'Texas I will get it published in a w idely-cir-
culated paper. I will further the interests of
Texas all I can. J.->«ik Hvtchixxsos.

Iola. Grimes County, October 13.—The
weather is now delightful, and those who are
able are gathering cotton in earnest; but the
late rains have injured health and crops. The
cotton is damaged 15 or 20 percent., and ad-

typhoid fever prevail alarmingly, and some
deaths have occurred from black jaundice, z.
The Pleasure* of Ilspe.
When the body is bowed with pain an intense
longing for relief brings hope. This may
brighten the suffering but it does not cure. At
a time like this how welcome is such a friend
as Warner's Safe Kidnoy and Liver Cure,
bringing hope, health and happiness and the
>n denied, but it has been denied as it seems,
by those who were short of the market. One
house has unloaded nearly 100.000 bales on the
market during the present week aud yet prices,
with weak Liverpool, and enormous receipts,
are as high, except for Octobers which are
being manipulated as they were a week ago.

A Wise Deacon.
44 Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how
you kept yourself and family well the past sea-
son when "ail tbe rest of us have been sick so
much, and have had the doctors visiting us so
often.1' _
4- Bro Tavlor, the answer is very easy. I
used Hop Bitters in time: kept mv familv well
and saved the doctor oills. Three dofiars
worth of it kept us w ell and able to work all
the time. I'll warrant it has cost you and the
neighbors one to two hundred dollars apiece to
keep sick the same time."
'•Deacon, I'll use your medicine hereafter,7*
