COMMERCE OF GALVESTON
ANNUAL REPORT OF BRITISH CONSUL
HORACE D. NUGENT.
Review of the Trade anil
Commerce of Galveston—Mauy
Interesting Extraots.
The following extracts are taken from the
annual report for the year 1892, for tho consu-
lar district of Galveston, just issued by tho
British government:
introductory remarks.
The year 1892, and especially tho latter half,
has boon on the.whole a very prosperous one
for tho 6tate of Texas, in particular have tho
farmers been fortunato. Crops were produced
moro cheaply than at any time in the history
of tho state. They planted cotton, expecting
to receive 6 cents for it and received nearly i)
cents; they raised maize both for homo con-
sumption and for export. The stock raising
industry has been prosperous, and on the
whole it is estimated that tho producers m
Texas are some £10,000,000 bettor otf than
was expocted six months ago. The prospecis,
too, are good, and tho coining year promises
to be a bountiful one. It all remains with tho
farmer to say whether his crops shall be remu-
nerative or not. If he plants cotton alone,
overproduction and leas remuneration must
naturally follow; and the wiso man will make
a point of diversifying his crop. Tho danger
is that the farmers may tako last year as an
index of what they should do, not making al
lowance for the accidents that assisted tho
planters then.
As a consequence of the prosperity of the
farmer, business in general has been brisk
and remunerative, especially during the last
few months. Collections have everywhere
been promptly met, and the general feeling
has boen good. Business has been generally
successful, as is shown by tho number of fail-
ures, which are given as 457, amounting to
£1,010,800, as against 53CJ, amounting to £1,-
792,000 in 1891.
message op the governor.
I may hore appropriately quote from the
message of Governor Hogg to the legislature,
presented on January 13 la6t:
"As to law and order, except in two orthreo
cities, Texas is taking first rank in tho Ameri-
can union. In material development sho has
been second to none of tho southern states
within the past two years. Official reports
show that within this time over $16,000,000
have been invested in new material industries,
and 323 milos of railroad constructed, equip-
ped and put in running operation in tho state.
To-day she presents the example of a free gov-
ernment without a pool, a trust, or a combina-
tion to stifle competition in trade, and tho
criminal element convinced that no part of
her territory ia an asylum for them. Taxes
have boen docreased 25 per cent, so that they
are now lower than in any other state; the rate
of interest has been roduced 2 per cent, tho
public debt paid when due, ttio charitable and
all public institutions efficiently maintained
without oxtravaganco or scandal, the public
health protected from infectious or epidemic
diseases, and tho people generally aro prosper-
ous. There have been less failures in mercan-
tile circles and more universal prosperity dif-
fused throughout every avenue and circle
among the masses than the state has witnessed
in many years before."
land corporations.
The alien land law, mentioned by my prede-
cessor in his report for 1892 as having caused
much discussion, was, subsequent to its pass-
age, declared unconstitutional. Although it
has never been repealed it has boon suffered to
fall into desuetude.
The subject of perpetuity of title in land
caused by corporato ownership was, however,
not allowed to drop entirely, and Governor
Hogg made a strong appoal in his message to
the legislature, which is now in session, to enact
a law making such corporate ownership term-
inable after a given term. The lands now
held by such corporations for grazing or other
purposes, or that shall bo acquired hereafter
by them legally in settlement of claims for
debt, etc., to rovert to natural persons and tho
corporations to wind up their alfairs and quit
the state.
Should such a law pass it would naturally
materially affect the large British interests in
stock raising und mortgage companies in this
state, but although a somewhat emasculated
form of such a bill has been introduced and
passed the senate, it iB extremely doubtful
whether it will reach the lower house this eos-
sion, much loss bccome law.
imports.
There has been a decrease of about 20 per
cent in tho total imports at Galveston during
tho year, the figures showing $863,981, as
against $1,082,151. This is no doubt duo to
the effect of the McKinloy tariff and the large
stocks purchased prior to tho passage of that
act. The chief decrease is in imports from
Germany, Groat Britain and Franco. The im-
ports from Brazil are about $100,000 more than
last year, all in cotfoo, which is duty free.
As regards the chief imports from Groat
Britain cement hftg decreased from $86,230 to
$51,701; sheep dip remains about tho same:
coal has decreased from $20,181 to $8JJ08;
crookory increasod from $9033 to $11,903; cot-
ton manufactures have almost been nil; malt
liquors have increased from $13,803 to $24,366;
salt has decreased from $32,391 to $15,800; tin
has decreased from $86,726 to $16,483; now
imports of noto aro burlaps, $16,483, and coal
tar oil, $16,818. The total figures as regards
Great Britain are $304,314 in 1892, as against
$394,483 in 1891. The total imports in transit
to Mexico show a decreaso of from $371,273 to
$101,977.
exports.
The total exports from tho district of Gal-
veston show $35,097,002 in 1892, as against
$35,964,460 in 1891, a slight decrease. Exports
of cotton have increasod in quantity, but
owing to the lower prices obtainable have de-
creased in valuo; 808.628 bales wore oxportod
last year, valued at $32,610,901, as against 774,-
826 bales in 1891, valued at $34,217,492. The
exports of oil cake have increased from 43,196
tons, valued at $1,008,541, in 1891, to 79,088
tons, valued at $1,867,441, in 1892. Tho wheat
exported in 1892 was 377,985 bushols, valuo
$33o,240, as against 687,395 bushels, value $588,-
058, in 1891. Exports of Hour inuroased from
1U29 barrels to 21,296 barrels.
Tho exports to Franco and Germany havo
incroased, and those to Groat Britpin de-
creased. As regards cotton, in 1891 Groat
Britain took 068,353 bales, Taluo $29,747,951
in 1892 jsho received only 529,795 bales, valuo
$21,008,705, whereas Germany received 143,620
bales, as ugainst 44,209 bales, and Franco 120,-
177 bales, as against 15,240 bales. Tho export
of oil cake shows a larne increase to Great
Britain and Germany over 1891. Great Britain
received 23,141 tons, vqHio $549,599, as against
21,105 tons, valued at $470,302, in 1891. Ger-
many 50,460 tons, value $1,217,382, as against
16,670 tons, valuo $415,791, in 1891.
AH the wheat exported was shipped to Brit-
ish ports.
cotton trade.
The cotton business has been one of s pecu-
liar character m 1892-93, marked by a gradual,
steady rise in prices all along. This increase
of value has been bonefloialto tho planter, but
not to the exporter, whoso business has been
by no means remunerative this seasou.
The season for ship brokers and freight
brokers has boen most disastrous, and much
money has been lost; the largo gams of last
year being completely upsot, and in mauy in-
stances swopt away, owing to tho oxcossivaly
low ratos of freight.
cotton fires.
Those have boen very numerous here this
season, so much so as to excite the suspicion
in somo cases of incendiarism. In conse-
quence of tho fires insurance ratos havo ruled
vory high upon cotton. Steps will be takon
next season, it is hoped, for a still more thor-
ough inspection of cotton on arrival and dur-
ing loading.
GRAIN TRADE.
In the last month or two tho grain trade has
takon a surprising stop forward, and bids fair
to derolop into a very important business.
From November 24. 1892, tho date on which
reduced rates went into for.'e on the Santa Fe
railway, to and including January 20, 1893,
there have been bought 1,233,500 bushols of
wheat for Galveston. Of this ainouut 975,000
bushels are for export. As the total amount
of wheat exported in 1892 was but 377,985
bushels, a largo doveiopinent of tho gram car-
rying trade is looked for in 1893. Sovoral ves-
sels are shortly expocted hore to load with
grain, and tho grain elevator is in constant
use.
Galveston, as an export point for grain, has
only beon known to exist, ono may say, for the
past two or throe months, nor has 'sho been
able to receivo and handle lartro quantities of
grain continuously for a lon^or period. But
now, with her modern handling facilities and
tho doing away with unnecessary exponso of
interior handling and commissions, her ox-
porters buying ctirect, sho has been able to
buy within a short period, chiefly from Kan-
sas, moro grain than tho railroads leading
hero could handle; and they are now increas-
ing their facilities expressly for this business.
galveston harbor works.
Tho work for deepening the bar of Galvos-
ton harbor, alluded to in my predecessor'^ re-
port, has made fair progress during 1892.
Twelvo thousaud four hundrod and twenty-
two cars of stono, amounting to 226,594 tons,
were delivered to tho contractors during tiio
year. Nearly two miles of jetty were com-
pleted, that is to say, 9120 lineal feet of rail-
road and trestlo were complotod at an avoraga
cost of $4 per foot. During tho last month
the water has been exceptionally low, causing
great inconvonienee and cost to ship brokers
and merchants. So much has this been felt
that recently permission has boon granted by
tho United States war department for
private entorpriso to attempt to hasten
the work of obtaining doop water by
dredging or otherwise moving the sand on
the bar. A9 the question of deop water is felt
to be ono affecting the vital interests of Gal-
veston, there is no doubt (hat somo such at-
tempt will bo made shortly by privato capi-
talists. The supposed beneficial effect of tho
jetties can not be fully fo'.t till the comple-
tion of the entiro enterprise, probably not
earlier than threo years from now.
manufactures.
The manufacturing statistics of Galveston
taken at the last census havo recently been
published. Only such establishments as
show a product of $500 or more in value in the
census year havo been considered.
In 1880 there were 39 industries reported,
with 170 establishments, with a capital of
$871,.150 and employing 684 hands. In 1890
55 industries were reported, with capital in-
vested of $1,831,345 and 1916 hands engaged.
Chiof among tho industries are 3 clothing es-
tablishments, 8 confectionerioH, 6 foundry
and machine shops, 5 newspaper and periodi-
cal printing otlicos and 5 book and job print-
ing establishments. Besides the abovo a cot-
ton mill employing a largo number of hands,
a well known flour mill and a bagging factory
aro prominent enterprises in Gaiveston. The
latter employs 225 and the output is 6,000,000
yards of bagging, which covers about haif tho
cotton crop of Texas, and nearly all the bal-
ing twine used. In connection with tho bag-
ging factory a rope factory has been started
to employ 80 or 100 hards.
agriculture.
Tho cotton crop in Texas for 1892^93 is es-
timated at about 2,000,000 bales, nearly 30
per cent of the total crop of the United
States. This is not as largo as that of 1891-
92, which aggregated 2,200,000 bales, tho
heaviest ever known. The present crop, no
doubt, would have boen larger, considering
tho aroa planted, had not bad weather materi-
ally interfered with its growth. This, how-
ever, was greatly in favor of tho farmer, as I
have noted in my introductory remarks, as
a much better price was obtained than was an-
ticipated.
Tho wheat crop of 1892 was about tho same
as that of 1891, viz.: 8,000,000 bushels. Hero
again tho crop realized was much below that
expected, which was figured at 12,000,0^0
bushols.
Sugar was produced to the extent of 15,000,-
000 pounds an aguinst 18,000,000 to 19,000,000
pounds in 1891.
Tho maizu crop was heavier in tho past year
than in 1891—75,000,000 to 80,000,000 bus hols,
as against 71,000,000 bushols.
Oats were about tho sumo—15.000,000 bush-
els.
fruit growing.
Besides the above, tho industry of fruit
growing is largely on the increase, and vory
favorable results havo beon had. Oranges,
pears, peaches, plums, apricots, strawberries
and grapes of excollont quality can all be cul-
tivated with but little oxpenso and care, and it
is not uncommon to find two crops of fruit
and three of vegetables produced on tho sauio
land in ono year. Tho industry is yet too
young for any roiiable statistics to be ob-
tained, yet it is undoubtedly most successful,
as also vegetable farming.
The corrected figures takon by tho consus
officers in 1889 show that in that year there
wore 3,903,360 acres under cultivation in cere-
als, compared with 3,089,068 acres in 1870, an
increase of 874,292 acres, or 28 per cent to 30
percent. There was an lncreasoof 606,279 acres
in tho area of maize, 290,845 acres in that of
oats and 1904 acres in rye, while tho aroa of
land uudor cultivation of wheat docreased
22,004 acres and of 2783 acres in that of bar-
ley. At the same rato of increase mentioned
above tho aroa now under cultivation in cere-
als in 1892 in Texas would bo 4,225,637 acroB.
fisheries.
The fisheries in the gulf states are of intor-
est, and remarkable for their recent growth,
and for tho possibilities of greater future ad-
vancement. It is noteworthy that in recent
years they havo surpassed, both in oxtent and
value, the fisheries of the south Atlantic
region. As regards Texas, the coast line of
the stato is 2010milos, including indentations,
alfordmg amplo scope for the fishing indus-
tries. The chief drawback is tho want of good
transportation facilities. In 1890, the date
of the last report issued, 1277 portions found
employment in connection with the Texas fish-
eries,an increase of 112 per coot since 1880. The
capital invested in the various branches of
the industry was, in 1890, $319,122, an increase
of not less than 652 per cent binoo 1880. Tho
product of the Te xas fishorios in 1890 was
7,959,400 pounds, valued at $313,832. More
than two-fifths of the vaiue of the catch rep-
resented oysters. Sea trout, channel baas and
sheophead togothor were worth nearly as much
as oysters. Over 1.000,000 pounds of each of
the two first named fish wore taken, and near-
ly 800,000 pounds of tho latter, tho catch of
these spocios being larger than in any other
state.
In connection with tho fisheries aro whole-
sale oyster and fish houses and turtle canning
industries. There wore 13 of these firms in
1890, owning property valued at $107,500, and
with a cash capital of $53,500; lUG/jOO barrels
of oysters were handlod, 3,320,000 pounds of
fish and 243,000 pounds of turtle.
railroads.
Thore woro in 1892 10,107 milos of railway
in Texas, of which 8978 miles woro main lino
and branches and 1129 miles sidings, etc. The
increase of mileage during tho year was 211
miles. Tho earnings of these various lines for
freight amounted to $26,473,8^58 in the year
ending Juno 30, 1892, compared with $26,777,-
374 in the year ending June 30,1891, a not in-
crease of $696,463.
The passenger revenue in Texas for two
years onding June 30, 1891, and June 30, 1892,
shows $7,739,136, compared with $7,581,970, a
not decrease for tho year of $154,166,
The railway commission, mentionod in my
predecessor's report for 1891, is still carrying
on its labors, and tho abovo figgros aro ex-
tracted from a roport of that body, rocontiy
issued. A good deal of dissatisfaction exists
regarding this commission, and it is not
thought to bo beneficial toward building now
lines or oxtending thoso already built.
crime.
Governor Hogg, in that portion of his mos-
satfo quoted by me in my opening remarks,
says: "As to law and order, excopt in two or
three cities, Texas is taking first rank in the
American union." This viow is probably
slightly optimistic, for there is no doubt that
there is a great deal of lawlessness in Texas,
but bettor things are hoped for in the near
future. The dilatory execution of tho law,
and tho fear of a miscarriage of justioo
through legal quibbles, as well as the disin-
clination of some communities to relinquish
their own execution of what they
deem a proper penalty for cor-
tain heinous offonses, often give rise to
iynchings, and these mob law executions aro
at times accompanied by shocking barbari-
ties. It is only a few weeks ago that a negro
who had outraged and murdered a white girl
4 years old was put to death at Paris, in this
state, by being burnt with rod-hot irons, in the
presence of 15,000 people, his agony being pro-
longed for fifty minutes. It is only fair to
say that such barburitios aro discountenanced
by the great majority of the moro educated
Texans.
Governor Hogg seems to recoguizo the
necessity for stricter ouforcement of tho laws
whon ho says:
"It may not bo inappropriate here to stato
that when from a maudlin sentiment, or less
commendable spirit, tho peopio of any coun-
try permit offenders against tho gaming or
other misdemeanor laws, including these reg-
ulating tho liquor traffic, to go unpunished in
their open and defiant criminal course, thoy
must oxpoet to be prepared to submit to tho
frequent shock of their feelings of humanity
by the crack of tho assassin's gun. ft is as
necessary to enforco ono law as another. Ro-
form in tho suppression of enmo, like that of
all other movements, must begin at tho bot-
tom."
On Octobor 31 last there wore in tho stato
3375 persons undergoing nunishmout for pou-
ltontiary offonsos, of whom only 57 woro
women. Of those convicts 3073 were born in
tho United States (1516 in Texas, 1556 in otner
states), and only 502 iu foreign countries.
Of these 3375 convicts only 61 came from tho
county of Galveston, a good testimony to tho
strict enforcement of tho law; arrest and pun-
ishment of criminals being probably moro
ccrtam hero than elsewhere in the stato.
Galveston Ball Tossors in Kansas.
Tho team of ball players which recently loft
this city for Kansas has been heard from and
at last accounts were doing well. A letter re-
ceived yesterday from St. Joe has this to say
of the ex-Texans:
"When tho boys reached hero it was their
intontion to locate in Leavenworth and play
on the co-operative plan, but tho Lawrence
club made thorn such good offers that they
concluded to play thoro. Six of thein, Claude
Hardy, John C. Haydon, Charley Isaacson,
Johuny Tobias, John Rademaker and Lon
Ackennan, aro now in Lawrence getting in
shape for tho season. Their team will bo re-
inforced by Charley Krehmeyer, Pitcher Me-
C'ormick of Houston and sovoral other good
men. They piayod their first game at home
last Saturday, having tho crack university of
Kansas team as their opponents, and owing to
lack of practice together lost by a score of 6 to
4. Hardy pitched a bnlliaut gamo and would
have won with any kind of good support.
Thorp, the ex-Pelican, who came up with the
boys, left thorn to piay with Wichita, and -Max
Hinz is working in Leavenworth, where he
will play as soon as a club is formed. Tho
Lawrence team is to play in this city next
week, May 15, 16, 17 and 18, and as they have
been boomed up well they will draw largo
crowds. Tho Texans will have a hard nut to
crack when they meet tho Saints, and it is hard
to aay what tho result will be."

Raised the County Tax.
At one of their meatings during the week
the county commissioners' court raised the
tax levy 5 cents on tho $100 of valuation, that
amount to bo paid into tho treasury to the credit

capita.
Pythian Memorial Day.
Preparations aro being mado for the ob-
servance by tho Knights of Pythias of Me-
morial day next month. At tho last meeting
of Oleander lodge No. 139 tho following com-
mittee was appointed to confer with commit-
tees from other lodges as to arrangement of
a programme, selection of speakers, etc.:

The Pythians are also discussing tho ques-
tion of giving a grand picnic under the aus-
pices of tho order af an early day, and a
comniittoo from Oienuder lodgo, consisting
of H. Kidney, X. 13. Joss and Georgo Garuior,
was appointed to make arrangomouts for the
