   The Galveston News of the 12th, in its commercial article, says:
   The main feature in our cotton market has been the scarcity of supply, caused by damage to the several lines of railroad by heavy rains; the same cause together with the pressure of plantation work, prevents the movement of cotton by teams; and it is probable, under the circumstances, that but little cotton will be received during the present month, beyond the deliveries from Trinity and Brazos river by steamboats.
