The first part Of his speech was devoted
to the financial issues Of the campaign,

AGRICULTURAL AFFAIR.
The Crop Prospects Of the Country for
August.

The Crop Prospects OF the Country for
August.
WASHINGTON, August -Cotton-The
August returnslto the Department of Ag.
ricultare show a.slight decline from the
condition in July. The average condition
for the whole country is R per GENT, loss
OF 2 per cent since July lst.
The State averages are as follows: North
Carolina SO, loss OF s; South Carolina
50, gain |; Georgia 81, gain L; Florida 81,
loss 4; Alabama 100, gain 4; Mississippi
9S, gain 8; Louisiana 50, loss 4; Texas 70,
loss IL; Arkansas 95, loss 4; Tennessee
l05, gain !. / 4
Atthe date Of the returns rains were re-
ported generally. Spring Wheat-Aueust
returns show that the condition of Spring
wheat was SO against IS In 1878, The
northern parts Of New England and New
York maintained their July condition,
In the West and Northwest there was a
general decline, caused by the drought,
rust and chinch bugs. The decline is most
severely felt in Kansas, where the condi-
tton averages only A. The condition oil
the whole country is per cent better than
last year. The decline during July was
only 10 per cent, against 81 per cent In
1915. With an increased acreage, espe-
cially in the unascertained territorial area,
q considerable addition may be expected
to the yield Of this branch Of the wheat
crop. -.
Tobasco-The severe drouth which pre-.
vailed in the large tobacco growing States,
viz: Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
and Kentucky, during June and July,
was agreat injury TO the crop. The aver.
age for the whole country is only II
against 81 last year at the same date, Rain
Is reported since July %, very generally,
and the prospects are that September re-
turns wifi show q decided change for The
better. l.i tIt =
0ats-August returns show the condI.
ton Of the oats crop at 9l against 100 in
August, 1878. They show 4 slight i'm
proyement over the July condition, which
averaged only 50. The decline in the Gull
States and In the tF4ps.NIssissippi States
Is nearly overbalanoed. There Ia an i'm.
provement in all the other sections.

we might have some lively litigation, as
the contestants are we'll known to I've able
10 maintain and defend their respective
rights.
After the interview, which was a pleas.
ant one on both sides, q number Of promi.
nent iron men interested in the extension
and in the development Of the mauuiac-
turing facilities Of the city, called on Mr..
Keyser to see II there was any prospects Of
au early completion of the Hempaeld ex.
tension, and seemed to concur in the opin.
ion that the completion Of this road would
not render necessary to the manufacture
ing interests Of Wheeling the extension Of
the p. W. 4 Ky. Railroad to Benwood.
Mr.. Keyser stated that the managers Of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
fully appreciated the great benefits which
the completion Of the Hempfeld road
would necessarily confer upon Wheeling
and its principal industries, and that the
company had not abandoned It's intention
Of completing this line, which would give
Wheeling access to the heart Of the coke
felds upon as favorable footing as Pitts.
burgh, and at the same time give the Bal.
tmore & Ohio Company q shorter low
grade route between the Ohio river and
Baltimore.
1t was suggested that II the Baltimore 4
Ohio Company could be induced To
promptly resume operations on this line
with view TO its speedy completion that
the interest now exhibited in the exten.
sion to Benwood would be transferred,
and in addition to that large sum could
probably be obtained in furtherance Of the
project, from Wheeling and the wealthy
counties on the route. 1t was stated that,
upon assurances Of the early completion OF
this road. two or three blast furnaces
would be Immediately erected at this
point.
Mr.. Keyser expressed the opinion that
his company could be induced to consider
the advisability OF an early resumption of
work upon this line II any assurances were
given Of material aid.
Some Of the gentlemen present suggest.
ed that Mr.. Garrett should indicate upon
what terms he would undertake the COM
pletion OF the Hempdeld road, and an ef. |
fort would then be made to meet his views.

to appoint committees to consider the
matter OF tare, or allowance OF any de-
scription on account Of bagging and ties,
and to report TO the next National Ex-
change Convention. The report Of the
Committee on the Question Of Flax Bag
ging was adopted, with the resolution that
all bagging which, when wet, stains the
cotton, and all fax bagyiuS is filed with
unrotted or green shives or straw, shall
be considered unmerchantable. This res
olution, hoYoyer, does not apply to good
sound flax bagging, properly rotted or
prepared by the manufacturer. The
question Of the vast destruction OF cotton
crops was taken up, and resolution was
adopted setting forth that the subject is Of
such magnitude 1t deserves the careful Of.
tention and approving action OF Congress
in appointing an chronological committee,
and calling for the appointment Of com.
mittee to petition Congress 10 make more
liberal appropriation TO such q commits

mote the improvement Of navigation ol
