Reports to the Journal of Commerce state that the cot ton crop is backward’In the Carollnas and about normal In Tennessee M’he acreage is slightly increased and the stands in general are poor. Rain was badly needed, hut showers have been general recently. Some replanting in Tennessee with an Increase in the acre age In North Carolina the season is about two weeks late; prospects are much brighter since the rains. South *’arollna condition may fall below last year, when it was 79. M’ennessee,.con dition shows an Increase of nearly ten points over last year, when it was 73.5. * * * It Is believed that a good deal of short cotton has been covered during the past few days and a lower market is predicted, based on favorable weather conditions and reports which are com ing In. Around the close yesterday Rior dan bought about 10,000 hales of Octo ber arid December. McFadden brokers also bought. However, they sold old crop positions. * * * Liverpool cables: “American mid dling fair 7.24d; good middling 6.90d:, middling 6.70d: low middling 6.56d; good ordinary 6.82d; ordinary 5.88d.” Dallas wires: “Texas Panhandle cloudy, rest clear; hot.

M'he New Orleans Times-Democrat says: “Favorable crop reports came from many quarters, and the cotton iharkei declined. Of course, .< wave *-f bearish sentiment passed over tlie rings and low-price people discussed the out look for declines in more or less confi dent tones. Ten cents for new crops was talked of as a sure thing, nine cents as a probability, eight cents as likely, and. according to one lone bear, seven cents as a possibility. All the while the bull faction kept quiet and permit ted the spell of depression to run its course. At the close underlying strength seemed to develop, and students of the market expressed the belief that near future fluctuations would range within 20 points. “The weather over Sunday was very favorable, temperatures were higher and. on the face of things, the crop seamed to be in a fair way to make seasonable progress. M'He man on the fence, while admitting the presence of much more favorable (lunatic conditions, was in clined to believe that the flood of favor able crop advices, coming right at the close of the period on which the Gov ernment's condition bulletin on June 2 Is to be ba^ed, traces some of its in spiration to a possible need of an offset to any relatively low condition that might have been reported on May 25 from the less favorable sections.” Weld makes •rop 81. the condition of the McFadden.

Light in spots, but enough to end drouth talk for the pres ent. Wheat In big producing sections of Illinois promises unusually heavy rate of yield and this rain practically makes it. Crop is lighter in eastern counties, but fully up to the average on the In diana side of the Wabash River. South of Terre Haute the crop is spotted with the average hardly up to the usual promise. "Oats consistently poor all across Illi nois; rather better on Indiana side, hut distinctly a poor outlook. The rains will help, but crop in Missouri, Illinois and southwest Indiana will be a very short one regardless of future weather The damage suffered when oats were germinating can not be repaid. Corn planting practically done and conditions favorable to a good start. Farmers are not making any contracts for delivery of new’ grain. “Plenty of old corn everywhere, hut oats stock reported light.” White City Park Now Open Statement of the Condition of the WEST END BANK Located at Atlanta.
