The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "At 10 o’clock Friday, the cot
ton market learned that the Senate
Democratic caucus, by a large majority,
had voted dow r n an attempt to amend
the ‘Clarke rider’ to the tariff bill, and
prices for both spots and futures broke
sharply. The news from Washington
was disconcerting to an extreme de
gree. Some of the Democratic Sena-
tore made it fully apparent they are
opposed to the ‘Clarke rider,’ but the
caucus having declared in favor of it,
cotton merchants dp not believe those
Democratic Senators will vote against it
on the floor of the Senate. It is quite
clear that were those Democrats who
are opposed to the ‘Clarke rider’ to
vote against it, along with the Republic
an and progressive Senators, who all
seem opposed to such legislation in gen
eral, the ‘Clarke rider’ would fail of
passage. But under the workings of the
caucus, the rider may be passed, even
though a majority of the Senate is
against it."

Cotton summary for the week ending
September 5, bv J. B. Turner:
“Additional deterioration is reported
from all cotton States, some of a rea
sonable nature incident to the approach
ing maturity of the plant. But much of
It is forced by extreme heat or drouth,
or both. In Texas and Oklahoma, the
loss is not severe, as ihe crop had al
ready dropped to a low condition. In
the Mississippi Valley and the south
east considerable reduction in percent
age condition estimates is noted. Boll
weevils are responsible for some of it,
but mainly heat and drouth have caused
heavy shedding and premature opening
of bolls.
It is too late for rain to be of ma
terial benefit in the southwest, because
of the large amount of cotton open,
and hence in that section favorable har
vesting weather is desired. General
rains in the valley and eastward, how
ever. help a part of the crop—but not
all—as the hill lands have In some in
stances passed beyond help.
"In Alabama, Georgia and the Oaro-
linas there is a disposition to sell freely
at prevailing prices, and the early cotton
is being rushed to market. In Texas,
however, farmers believe that higher
prices will be seen and are not selling
so freely. In some Instances country
merchants and planters are buying spot
cotton expecting a material enhance
ment in values. A record September
ginning is forecast for the State. Heat
has retarded picking in all western
States. Rain to be of benefit even in
the most favored sections must come
soon, as the plant is being rapidly forced
to maturity.
The condition by States follows:
"Georgia—Where cotton open, being
picked and marketed freely’! Young crop
not w r ell fruited and generally late.
Showers spotted and light, but generally
beneficial. Reports irregular; some ex
cellent crops, some indifferent to poor.
North Carolina—Considerable shed
ding. High winds and rain east of Ra
leigh believed to have materially lowered
grade of open cotton; perhaps destroyed
some. Crop in fair to good condition,
but some seems quite late.
“South Carolina—Rainfall very irreg
ularly distributed, and many complaints
of shedding. Cotton coming to maturity
rather slowly, except where dry weather
has prevailed for some time. Disposition
to sell freely at market.
"Alabama—Many correspondents be
lieve that rains of w'eek came too late.
It is estimated that nearly 50 per cent
of the cotton is open. Picking Is going
on and crop being sold freely. A popu
lar estimate is that the crop will be
about the same as last year.
"Mississippi—Dry week. Much shed
ding. Southern territory and much of
central portion of State doing nothing,
and w’lll do no more on account of wee
vils. Bolls beginning to open generally
and picking getting under way. Excel
lent reports from delta.
"Tennessee—Dry and hot, with gener
al reports of deterioration. Shedding
heavy and plant’s maturity forced. Bot
tom lands look good yet, but hills suf
fered badly.
“Arkansas—Excessive heat has re
tarded picking. In the southwest nearly
all bolls are open. General complaints.
All correspondents say deterioration has
rontinued and plant growth about
stopped.
“Louisiana—Matured bolls promise
fair crop—better than last year, but 1

"Oklahoma—Cotton nearly all open in
many places. Lint very short. Too late
for rain to be of general benefit. Gen-
rally estimated that it will take 6 to 12
acres to make a bale.
"Texas—So much cotton is open and
picking has been so hard pushed that
September ginning returns promise to
be extraordinarily large. Rains In north
ern counties, if followed by very late
frost, would be of benefit. Elsewhere
of questionable value, owing to large
amount of open cotton. West estimates

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Sen
timent in wheat Is mostly bullish, ami
traders who have gone out of corn are
over in the wheat market. They say
that they expect to see wheat advance
later in the season faster than corn.
Bears are looking for a break, unless the
cash trade in the Northwest improves.
"It was the gossip of the corn pit that
the Armour interests were heavy buyers
through brokers in the break. The dls-
positfbn aniong a good many of the
commission houses is to buy corn on
any good decline. Oats specialists said
that the Armour Grain Company bought
2,000,1)00 bushels of all futures yester
day which tiTey regard as significant,
anT were Inclined to believe it a fore
runner of an upturn."
