During the past week heavy rains have been experienced throughout the cotton belt, particularly In Texas, Arkansas nud the delta of the Mississippi. Including of course ljoulslnim. These rains have uot only prevented the proper cultivation of the fields already deep In grass, but, In iliaiiv places, they have practically washed out the late planted cotton, making u fur ther replanting necessary, a process which Inis now been several times repeated lu many districts. Farmers are feeling greatly discouraged, nnd It Is an open question If such an acreage ran be worked during this crop year us worked last season, was originally the Intention of the fam to Increase acreage, but whnt, with iu...... disasters and disappointments owing to the weather and the replanting that has been necessary. It Is more than llkelv that many more fields will bo abandoned than the new acreage will he worked.

June 1.—As n cllmnx to .. most eventful month lu cotton history, tho past week has beeu replete with sensations. Price changes have bseo rapid, and It Is evident that there has been a wholesale readjustment of Ideas throughout tho ton world as to prospective cotton vs The chief factor in the situation, of coi m Is the unprecedented weather which has prevailed throughout the cotton growing states for the past month. Tho early ami favorable start has been converted Into an extremely late and unfavorable one. and If advices from nil parts of the belt us to hte present condition are approximate ly correct, the possibility of even a fair crop seems remote. We have repeatedly expressed our views upon the subject of cottou consumption, ami each week we be come more convinced that the astonishing Increase which has taken place during tho last few years points to a permanent and ever Increasing demand for American cot ton, which from time to time will put the producer to the test. After an adva oruer. suo camion win is? in’i'p,,arv, out the all-important fact that actual conditions call for higher prices should lie kept In mind, and when we reflect for s moment on the many hardships that may attend n crop that Is thrse to five weeks late, end give due weight to the feet that the element of uncertainty will ever be present, we are bound to concede that predictions for ex treme high price* are by no mean* uncalled for.

Lines of denims are be ing withdrawn, as seller* nre unwilling to accept business on today's top price. The attitude of spinuera nud weaver* I* Ideu- tleal on this acceptance of future business. They regard the crop situation us preca rious nnd are determined to keep ou safe grouud by refusing contracts except at value. Among Jpblwni It Is declared thnt their quotation* on nil classes of cottons ure comparatively low, nnd thnt their stocks can not be replenished on terms thnt will admit of the old values ruling for 'full. This Is causing considerable forward buy ing by retailers. The woolen trade for women's wenr nud men's wear Is In nn un settled state, so far ns fall business Is con. cerned. Re-orders on heavy weight over coatings are few In number, nnd lngs, cloakings nnd dress i tiers are coming In slowly. Market Active on Narrow Cloth.
