The Chicago Journal of Finance, In reply to telegrams sent out to leading htnkera of the South, asking for information about the condition of the cotton crop aa com pared with a year ago. has received replies which Indicate a great disaster has over taken the cotton belt of the United States. The cold, backward spring has caused the poorest pro * —• ‘ **— ofjbt yaar The weather was too dry at planting time, and then too cold and now too wet for cultivation. worst conditions are apparent In Ar- cansas, Texas, Louisiana. Mississippi, Ala bama, and Tennessee, where tbe crop Is re ported from two to six weeks later than last rear. In those states the ground la now roul and water-soaked. The plant presents i grassy appearance and Is overrun with weeds and grata. In Texas and Louisiana millions o] weevil are In sight, but It Is too earl. — much damage from this Insect as yet In Mississippi cut worms and other cool weath er Insects have been killing the delicate young plants. In Georgia and the Carollnaa reports are unfavorable, but not nearly so much as In the states farther west. The crop appears to be about two weeks late and the average condition* ire about 15 per ceut below laat year. The weather In tho southwest appears to have been colder In May than In March. Some of the bankers of the southwest e* ..mate that thta mors than from increase, aue caieny io mo mci tuat many fields where the green bug had destroyed wheat have been planted In cotton. Other sections show decrease, but moat reports show acreage about tba same. ATLANTA MARKETS. FRUIT AND PRODUCE. EGOS—Active, 18c.

The general average at Saturday's close was below all previous low points yet on top of this there was a further drop this morning of from 3 to 5 per cent in the active shares. To look for any explanation In the day s outside causeB would bo fu. tile. The great factor In tho market, as It has been for some time nash was extremely heavy sales In the na ture of forced liquidation for the ac. count of hard-pressed financial Inter- ests. It was the mystery concerning tho Identity of sellers and the Imnos- nihility of forecasting how much fur- ther this liquidation would have to go whlfch were the unsettling inlluenccs In the dealings. At midday the force of the selling had diminished slightly, but there was no recovery to speak of. MINING STOCKS. Iloston.

FAIRCHILD £ CO.’S WEEKLY COTTON LETTER. Npw Orleans,, .May 27.—Under ordinary conditions we wbnld consider the present prices of fall months os high for this sen of the yenr, but we do not believe shonld base conclusions this yenr on what has happened In tbe past Conditions In cot* ton trade have changed rapidly. Consump tion of cotton baa Increased on n tremen dous ocale, the price of dry goods has been put on a higher basis, and the cost of mak ing a cotton crop haa Increased at a rate out of proportion with the Increase of uew cot ton. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had several large cotton cropa In succession. It Is nppareut to those who keep In touch with tho statistical position of cotton that there will be hardly a bale of desirable rot- ton by the end of tbe summer, nnd should the growing crop prove under tho average, widen seems very probable, uo one could predict Just what prices would prevail later Jsts Insist that conditlona are the •orst ever known nt this season of the yenr. No doubt reporta are greatly e ‘ 1 In numerous Instances, but we v........^cd that perfect weather from on will l»e absolutely necessary to mats ren nn overage crop. Considering tne fact that there were sev eral European holidays last week, we con sider the weekly figures as bullish, espe cially the spinners' takings, which showed compared with 194,000 last year and 192.000 yenr before last. The government report on acreage conditions coming ont on June 4 will proba bly be extremely bullish, and this, with the strong statistical position of cotton the world over, convinces us that It Is danger* on* to go short of cotton, even on bulges, and we continue to favor purchases ou any moderate reaction.
