The New England and Southern mills made active inquiry for supplies, but New «»rleans merchants were unable I to fill ihc orders at the limit named be- : cause of the scarcity of available cotton I here and in tlie surrounliing territorv.

Again the weather map indi cated favorable climatic conditions over the belt., with the exception of some un seasonably high temperatures in Texas. Haskell, in that state, reported 102 de grees maximum. The Texas temperature report led to the belief that complaint of hoi winds would come from ihe West within a day or two. but the weather map readers declared they bad found good reason to believe that cold rains would fall over a large portion of the belt around the week-end. Good weather has. of course, improved the general crop situation a great deal, and at the mo ment the drift of things encourages the large crop man to a marked degree. Un der the circumstances less is heard of poor stands, of backwardness, of surface roots, etc., than would be the case were the sun not shining day after day. However, this does not necessarily mean that the crop has fully overcome all han dicaps or that the plant over the belt as a whole is healthy and strong enough to withstand all the midsummer trials of a normal season ATLANTA MARKETS I EG<;s Fresh country candled, 17@18c BUTTER—Jersey and creamery, m 11b. blocks. 20*2(h25c; fresh country dull. th 15c per pound.
