THE GROWING COTTON
Condition of the Fleecy Staple During
July-The August Outlook.


The July cotton report to BrqdstreetS
is based on 1912 replies from 557 out of
65S cotton-growing counties in the South.
1t indicates good progress by the crop
during July, thus continuing the favor
able report Of June. The dry weather
complained of in some of the States had
not yet assumed the proportions of a
drought, but reports from the cotton belt
under date of July 80 reported the plant
as suffering for lack of rain. The
injury as yet is small, but a continued
drought would materially change the pros
poets of the crop in some of the States
The damage from shedding and rust is
slight as yet, and that by worms, confined
almost entirely to Texas, is not likely to
be serious. The worm pest appears 10 be
Of local character, not at all assuming
wide proportions. AS shedding and rust
invariably follow extremely dry weather,
Georgia appears to be most affected, but
the damage here is comparatively very
light.
The following summary will show the
condition OF the crop in the various States
