Tokio, Japan.—Reports received
concerning the earthquake in Cen

WEEKLY COTTON CHOP REPORT.
Marked Improvement is Shown in the
Far East.
Memphis, Tenn. —The weekly cot
ton crop summary of the Commercial-
Appeal says;
In practically all of the territory
east of the Mississippi river there
was a marked improvement in the
condition df the cotton crop. The
showers that fell were moderate and
beneficial. The plant is small, and
still late, hut is growing nicely and
is well fruited for its size. Many
correspondents note that the pu.-
•pective yield is better than was at
one time thought possible.
In this territory conditions are best
in Georgia and South Carolina and
poorest in Mississippi. Rainfall was
scattered and deficient in Arkansas
and Oklahoma. There are sections
where no rain has fallen in five or
six weeks, and the plant is shedding,
hut while this is true other sections
of these states have had rain and
prospects are fair.
Rains have retarded opening of the
bells, and as the plant is growing
rapidly, picking will not become gen
eral for fully two welts yet.
Montgomery, Ala. —Reports from
the cotton growing counties of Ala
bama indicate varying conditions of
the crop, but on the whole the past
week has brought improvement. The
extremely hot weather in some sec
tions has retarded the plant and near
ly all reports speak of its “spotted”
condition. Insects have not appeared
and the fruiting season is well on.
It is not expected that the real move
ment cf cotton will begin until the
middle of Sepember.

ed that many priceless heirlooms and
valuable works of art were consumed

Minister to Panama Says Work Will
Be Finished Within Four Years.

Panama canal will be completed in
1913 are verified by Herbert B.
Squiers, United States minister to
Panama, who has arrived here with
his wife and daughter, - on a six

Minister Squiers. “There is no rea
son for any further delay. There
are now 38,000 men at work on the
canal, and they are pushing ahead
rapidly. The sanitary conditions of
the canal are better than would be
found in a northern section where so
many men are employed.”
WATCHING THEBANKS.
Order Issued by Comptroller of Cur
rency Murray to Examiners.

the Currency Murray has directed na
tional bank examiners to forward at
once to his office a list of national
banks in their districts which have
affiliations with state institutions and
occupy the same building or which
are close business affairs.
In some of the most conspicuous
bank failures in the past the fact has
been disclosed that the insolvency of
the component members of the allied
institutions were long concealed by
shifting the assets between the insti
tutions to meet the exigencies of an
examination of each.

cold weather has been done for the
past ten years.
