YORK, May 27.—Reports to the Journal of Commerce state that the cot ton crop is backward In the Carolina* and about normal in Tennessee. The acreage is slightly increased and the stands in general are poor. Rain was badly needed, but showers have been general recently. Some replanting in Tennessee with an increase in the acre age Jn North Carolina the season is about two weeks late; prospects are much brighter since the rains. South Carolina condition may fall below last year, when it was § 79. Tennessee 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 lias been covered during th<i past few days and a lower market is predicted, based on favorable weather conditions and reports which are corn ing in. Around the close yesterday Rior dan bought about 10,00ft hales of Octo ber and December. MeFiylden brokers also bought. However, they sold old crop positions. * * * Liverpool cables: “American mid dling fair LZ4d; 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. Oklahoma clear; warm.’’ * * * NEW ORLEANS, May 27. Hayward A- Clark: The weather map is very fa vorable. Shows fair and warmer in western portion of the Atlantics. Cloudy and warm in the Atlantics and Ten nessee. No rain except in Tennessee and parts of North Carolina, where it will be beneficial. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: “Favorable crop reports came from many quarters, and the cotton market declined. Of course, a wave of bearish sentiment passed over the 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 seemed to be in a fair way to make seasonable progress. The man on the fence, while admitting the presence of much more favorable climatic 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 he based, 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 the condition ol the crop 84 * * * McFadden, Parrott and Riordan were the leading buyers to-day. Mohr and Hentz probably the best sellers. Wall Street covered through Riordan. *■ V * Riordan was also a big buyer of the new crop positions for the Pell interests, * * * Memphis wdres: “Generally fair weather will prevail in the cotton States, except in the extreme northeastern sec tions, where showers are likely.

Snow DROUTH IN CHICAGO May 27.—B wires from Vincennes, Ind.: “Generally good rains from St. Louis; clear across Illinois and East. 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, but 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 w-eather 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, but oats stock reported light."
