GALVESTON DAILY STATEMENT.
COMMERCIAL.
N*w§ Ovtux. l>ec. 20.—The local markets
were without feature to-day. Business is good
and local merchants have all the orders
they care to fill at this season. An abundant
%npply of poultrv, game and fruit has bad the
effect of maintaining moderate prices, and the
good things of the season are within the means
of all.
The spot cotton markets to-day were gener-
ally dull and quiet with small business doing
and no change in> quotations. The total sales
in domestic itarkets amounted to 19,171 bales,
of whioh New Orleans sold 5800 and Memphis
the same number. The tone of the local mar-
ket was steady and the sales 854 bales. Tnere
in a general sentiment that Christmas week
will see prices go still lower than the present
quotations.
Liverpool futures opened quiet but stead v 1
point lower than yesterday, and closed steady 1
point lower all along the line.
New York futures opened steady lto 10 points
lower, ruled steady 1 to 8 points nigher and
closed steady, 1 to 8 points lower.
New Orleans futures opened dull but steady,
1 to 3 points lower and closed 1 to 4 points lower
than yesterday.

THE WORLD'S MINK PRODUCTIONS.
The products of the mines of the world, ac-
cording to the last number of the Economists
Francaise, were, in 1888, in tons: Iron, 83,512,-
000; copper, 341,000; lead, 617,000; tine. 344,000; tin,
35,000; quicksilver, 4000; cobalt, nickel, anti-
mony, etc.. 8000. The production of gold was
106,2f5 kilogrammes; of silver, 3,720,951. There
were, moreover, 466,010.000 tons of ooal brought
to light, 6^712,000 ton9 of petroleum, 8,347,000 of
salt and about 3,700.000 of other similar prod-
ucts. The grand total in tons was 508,939,000,
with a value of fc 1,776.000,000. To this vast sum
coals alone contribute almost $700,000,000. or
about 40 per cent, while the precious metals,
fold and silver, contribute but $260.0 >0.000. In
.1*88 226 mines were operated profitably in
France and 201 wore worked at a loss. Tho total
profit was $3,000,000; the total lo*s, $1,100,000.
Coal is most expensive in France and cheapest
in Austria, where In 1388 the price was $1 10 per
ton.
TRADE ITEMS.
Galveston bank clearings to-dav. $1.0.'5,081
For the week ending December 20, $8,006,106.
New Orleans total cotton receipts for the sea-
son are 1,110,305 bales against 1,255,765 bales last
year.
The total stock of cotton In Galveston to-day
was 96,6.MJ bales, against 70,785 bales on the
same day last year.
The total receipts of cotton at all United
States ports to date are 8,989,462 bales, an in-
crease of 111,578 bales o?er receipts for same
time last year.
The shipments of citron from Leghorn to the
United States from January 1 to December 1 ag-
fregated 14,162 half cases against 8169 half-cases
or the corresponding time last year.
The general expectation among cotton men
Is that there will be a stl'l further drop in
prices during the present wees, notwithstand-
ing a previous impression that the bottom had
keen nit already.
The total cotton receipts at lntorlor towns
this week were 204,832 bales, against 204.463
bales for the same week last year. The Inte-
rior slocks are 453,481 bales, against 385,692 bales
at the same time last season.
"A panlo is people losing their heads," says Mr.
J ay Gould. This may be the right and oftlclal defi-
nition, but it Bomohow doesn't seem to have the
picturesquenessof the description given once
by Mr. Gould's old time partner, Uncie Daniel
Drew, whoso remark was: "It's h—!"
Foreign fashion authorities assure the trade
that 1*91 will witness the supremacy of gold,
sliver and steel embroideries, for both wrap
and drees garniture. Color will be the feature
of the new trimming offering, even to tho ex-
tent that black bead fringes will be embellished
with high colorod Imitation jewels. Home of
the new garniture samples now being shown
embody the loudest effect ever seen In this
class of goods.
The Loulalana Sugar Bow, seems to thl nk "it
Is questionable whether planters who can afford
to do otherwise are right In rushing in tneir
sugar crop with tho prevailing low prices.
Every year nrices are low during the manufac-
turing and snipping season and react later. We
see no good reason why this season should prove
an exception. Of course the fact that foreign
sugars are to oome in tree of duty after the 1st
of April next has this depressing effect, but, on
tho other hand, we are quite oertain to have a
bare market iu March, since dealer* will not
import at that late date and pay duty. The re-
sult will be, without doubt, much hotter prices
for sugar than will prevail for tne next two
months."
Ceylon planters are rejoicing over the prospect
of an extensive introduction of Ceylon tea Into
the Russian market, in consequence of the
recommendation of the tea by Russian officials.
"It is a fact worthy of notice in connection with
Russian trado in general." says the Ceylon
Mall, "that it is subject to such hoavy duties,
charges and land carriage that the first cost of
the commodities consumed there, forming but
a fraction of the total cost to the consumer, has
but little effect on the selling price. Hence. a9
a rule, the best qualities , only are bought for
the Russian market. It is probable, therefore,
that Ceylon tea will speedily gain favor there
because of its excellence, and that our finest
orops will gravitate into that channel."

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
New York, Dec. 20.—The stock market to-
day was intensely dull throughout the session
and was heavy. Before the close, however,
there was more strongth displayed. The weak-
ness in early trading recutled In fractional loss
In many stocks, among which Lackawanua
was most prominent. Later, however, there
was a reaction and in all except a few unim-
portant instanced, early losses were not only
regained, but something in addition. Lacka-
wanna and Louisville each rose 1 per cent and
the entire list was left at small fractions better
than last evening.
Railroad bonds were equally as dull as

New Orleans, La., Dec. 20 —ISpeciall—At-
wood Violett & Co. say: Futures—Our New
York advice to-day says the market shows
signs of heaviness. We believe the rosult
will be to depress prices on this side should
Liverpool show again a disposition to lean to-
ward large crop fl«ure9. which we think they
have been lately inclined to disbelieve
That market closed 1 to 2 points lower.
A prominent house, lately sustaining ths fu-
ture market, have sold freely to-day and of-
fered largely at the close, breaking the market
8 points, touching the lowest prices of the sea-
son.
Port receipts to-day were 45,301, against 35,900
last year.
F. o. B. —Offerings very light and the de-
mand still for grades above middling, grades
under being- unsalable. Salos, S00 bales.
Spots—We have to report large oSerings of a
very poor style. Holders are auxious to sell
even at concessions. Sales, 5000 bales.

New York, Deo 20.—[Special]—Hubbard,
Price A Co. say: The visible purohases in Liv-
erpool to-day were very smalL These small
purchases, coupled with the rather freer move-
ment of the crop, caused a gradual decline to-
ward the close, which was at the lowest prices
of the day—though the tone of the mar-
ket was steady and the decline was
fought point by point. 1'urci.ases of January
against sales of March by the large carrying
houses waa the feature of strength to the near
position*, while the reports of greatly inereased
acreage from India, with every prospect of ttie
Indian crop exceeding last year, confirmed the
opinions or those who look for a lower range of
value*, that the lucre** >d crop* of America,
India, Egypt and Brazil will bear out their poei -
tlon
i. e. olenny ft co.'8 ciroular.
Nif Ow.eaxs, La.. Dec. 20.—[Special]—I. E.
Glennv & Co. say: Liverpool opened and closed
l-64d lower for future*. Spot sales were only
4000 bale1*, and the renor: t that m irket was
that the business was not sufficient to test quo-
tations .
New York opened at about yesterday's price*
and-lost 3 points durinsr the day.
New Orleans—Our market on tho first round
of the first call was very steady at 1 poiut de-
cline, with considerable cotton sold; on the sec-
ond round, however, the offerings were very
freo and the market gave way another point,
makinc a loss on the first call of 2(;&3 points,
Durius the remainder of the day business was
very limited and the market remained steady,
the clone showing a loss of 3 points on the day,
although the Liverpool market was quite die-
couraglng and the receipt* at this port large.
23,000.
After the first call there was not much dispo-
sition to sell cotton Hix r:. and we bad tne usual
Saturday's restricted market. Considerable
cotton has been liquidated yesterday and thl*
morning nnd we look for a dull market until
after the holidays, as there seems to he but
little disposition to enter into new business at
preseut on either the ioug or short side
The demand for si>ot cotton was ugain good
to-day. This demand, which haw continued for
some days p.tst, is < aused by the purchasing
for December shipment. The weekly overland
movement published to-day shows a consider-
able falling off. but as this is known to have
been occiisioned by the stringency of money it
had not the effect which it otherwiso would
have had.
Futures closed steady; March, 9 iflc;
May. 9.2'<&9.26c.
The overland movoment decreased for the
week; as compared with last year. 7'.<00; thus
far this month 26,00 <; increase In overlaud since
September 1, 61,010. Decrease in amount
brought into sight during the week, 11,000; in-
crease in amount brought Into sight this
month. >-000; Increase in amount brought into
sight since Boutember 1. 305,000. Increase iu
stocks at porta to-day 45,000, against 36,000 same
day last year.
NEW YORK SPECIAL beport.
Nkw York, Dec. 20.—ISpeciall—Tho stock

lateral for loans. Sale*, 300,000 ouuees; opened

The Atchison directors have ratified t lie west-
ern railway agreement and appointed President

in tbe advisory board.
Cotton manufacturers and brokers report an
easier monotary fooling. It is likely that north-
ern mills will take hold soon after the holidays
( otton bills, which were slow of negotiation
during the money stringency, are now more
salable, aud it is expected that tho accumula-
tion of approximately half a million bales along
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas aud Texas aud
Pacific railways will come forward.
Hides and wool slow, better demand In New
England, but slow of Bale in middle states and
dull In southwestern and Pacific coast m irkets.

plus reserves the past week of $3,891,825, und

pneumatic postal service.
A Connecting Sv*tein of Tubo* Proposed
Between New York and llrookljru*
Threre is a prospect that a rapid postal
service will shortly be established betwieo
New York and Brooklyn by means of pneu-
matic tubes. It cakes from two t» three
hours for a letter dropped in one of the
down town postal statious to reach Ilurlem
and tbe annexed district, aud from tour to
six hours for lettert to .-each distant parts
in Brooklyn from this city. If a system of
pneumatic tubes, connecting all the sta*
tions iu tho city, were laid, and another sys-
tem of tubes to run across '.ho Brooklyn
bridge and connect with statlous there,*let-
fers would reach any part of either city in-
side of a quarter of an hour.
"I favor laying pneumatic tubes to con-
nect tho postal stations in this city with
Brooklyn," said Postmaster Van C'ott yes-
terday, "and I know that Postmaster lien-
cral Wanamaker advocates the use of pneti
ma tic tubes in the postnl service. It is
bound to come in time, and T hope the time
vrill be very short, loo. The posuuaster
general has spoken of connecting the vari-
ous departments in the postoflice here nritb
pneumatic tubes, nnd he favors the rapid
transmission of mails in every way. The
only thing that hampers him In carrying
out his reforms In the service is to get ap~
propriations from congress. If Now York
gets its new postoftice soon it is intended
by the postmaster general to have tbe
pneumatic tube service running all through
it. This city would need two Hues of pneu-
matic tubes, one running up the east side
and another on the west side, connecting
with everystation and substation. I think
the best way to constrnct the lines would be
to lay them underground- say near the
curb line. The tubes coulu be laid along
the L road tracks, but I think the hotter
way would be to have them underground,
as the vibratiou of trains might interfere
with their working. Another system of
tubes could croes the Brooklyu bridge and
tun through Brooklyn. Loudon has these
pneumatic tubes and they work admirably
in the transmission of malls. -I do r.ot
know what such a system of tubes would
cost, but I do know that they would soon
pay for themselves." [New York Herald.
Alleged Battle with a Deer.
It isn't often that a healthy Malno deer
gives up one horn, keeps the otuer and
fights a duel with a hunter; but it so hap-
pened recently, says the Bangor New*. A
gentleman named West, of Lynn, Mass.,
can tell about it. He was hunting in Kings-
bury aud came out upon Thorn Brook,
where be paused to rest. All at ouce ho
beheld a noble-looking deer stalk out
upon tho brow of the hill above him.
He let drive one barrel and the doer
foil. Hastily he scrambled up to examine
bis prize, and found to his grief r;hat he
had snot one handsome horn off close
the animal's bead. The deer was
apparently dead. Half In reverlo he fitted
the horn back upon the deer's head in order
to seo how tho animal would look intact.
To his amazement the deer sprang to his
feet, and thoroughly maddened, pitched in-
to his assailant with all the fury of an ani-
mal at bay. Mr. West, retaining the dis-
connected horn in his hand, commenced to
belabor the animal and the battle waged
furiously. In the heat of the melee both
tumbled plunk into the brook and this end'
ed the conflict. Tho deor swam for one
bank, while Mr. West clambered out upon
the opposite, wet, scared and mad clear
through. His clothes were torn and he re-
ceived several painful bruises. "He car-
ried tbe trophy back to Lynn with him,and
left a standing offer of $50 for the mate."

rheumatism, will find relief by wearing one
