S. Sullivan, of Morris 11. Rothschild «Sr Co., the conditions in the eastern holt are exactly the reverse of those of last year. Mr. Sullivan has Just returned from a six weeks' trip throughout the eastern belt. "I arrived in the belt a year ago this time to the day and made my tour over the same ground, so 1 am in an excep tional position to compare conditions with those of last \tur. Last year the ground was hardly broken and farm work was so late that >n Georgia farm ers sow ed their seed right after rite plow without taking, tin- time to break up the ground properly.’’ he says. "That fact accounts for the poor crop. This year 1 found the ground thoroughly pre pared wherever 1 went. and. as a rule, farmers ware two weeks ahead of last your. With the exception of North. Carolina, planting is well advanced and in the extreme South a good deal .»f cotton is up. Possibly excluding North Carolina, where, farmers are not plant ing yet. the eastern States of th** belt hi* vt increased their acreage Kvery- where I went farmers estimated - that the acreage is 5 per cent larger than last year. I estimate that Georgia has planted 3 to 5 per cent more land in cotton than the previous season." Shorts are becoming more nervous owing to tHe cool weather and insuf ficient rams in the eastern belt and J talk of delayed germination, which has bee*.me one of the leading factors in stimulating the market. Yesterday July! sold up as high as 11.68. This was the | highest that option has sold since the latter part of April, when it sold at Dallas wires: "Texas -Clear and cool Oklahoma—Generally clear and pleas ant.” Good rains were reported at Knox ville.
