TOO WET FOR COTTON.
THE PLANT IN DANGER FROM
THE HEAVY RAINS.

Eruitin9 Retarded and the Plant Run
ming to Leaves-More Rain in Geor-
Gia Than Elsewhere in the Cotton
Belt-The Sea Island Crop Outlook
The Effect Of the First Bale on the
Market-The Rice, Corn and Fruit
Crops.
The advices from the growing cotton
crop are meager. The rains have continued
in the interior, rendering the ground wet
and soggy, and some reports say that there
is considerable grass springing up. The
rains have caused a decided tendency in
the plant to run to leaves, instead of fruit
ing. In other portions Of the cotton belt
the rains have not been as severe and steady
as they have been In Georgia, and
reports, sas rule are gem
orally good. The report Of the
agricultural bureau which viii be made
public on Wednesday, it is thought, will
show a good average for the whole belt,
but Georgia, it is believed, will be be-
low the average.
THE SEA ISLAND CROP.
The reports from Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Florida show that the sea island
cotton acreage does not vary much from
that of last year, but if anything, is rather
a slight increase. There was not a good
stand, principally owing to the lack Of
terminating life in the seed but second
planting did fairly well, and the rains have
helped it out, but if the rains continue TO
fall as they have the past three weeks, there
will be tendency TO shorten the yield, as
too much rain viii make too much plant
growth and too few bolls. 'What the
cotton wants" said practical cotton man
yesterday, lis neither an excess of rain OF
dry weather, but occasional showers every
week or two until the latter part of August.
With that sort of weather the sea island
crop will be up in yield and quality, but
these rains are not good for cotton"
THE SEASONS FIRST BALE.
The report seemingly of the first bale has
had no effect on the market. AS one factor
put il, no stock is taken in the first bale in
recent years. Formerly the first bale was
supposed to be the pickings from a number
of patches on one plantation, but now the
first bale is made up from a garden patch,
and IS generally very green and mixed
with little of the old crop. 1t is not a
true indication of what the staple will
actually be- The irrepressibe Primus
Jones, however, has again come TO the
front with the first bale at Albany.
Secundus Smith is yet to be heard FROM
He generally hobs up in Texas.
The rice crop continues to look well not
withstanding the continuous heavy rains,
and no bad reports are being received Of
any change by reason of too much rain.
The corn crop is also looking splendid.
The raius have done incalculable damage
to the watermelon crops in some sections
and it is believed that, although there was
an increased acreage planted a diminished
production will be the result. The flavor
of the fruit is not as good as If the condi-
tons were otherwise.
The wet weather is having bad affect
on vegetables generally, particularly to-
matoes, which ripen and rot very rapidly.

THE experience of American as well as
4 European pianomakers with DR.. Hans Won
Bulow is that he is a man very hard to please,
with an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of saying exactly
and precisely what he thinks, especially when
he is dispeased
We will now refer to the warm eulogium DR..
Won Bulow has expressed privately to many
friends, critics, musicians, as to the Knaoe
Piano, nor will We express any individual
favorable opinion, which might, coming from
musical paper supported by Messrs. Knabe, be
expected as natural, whether right or wrong.
We will content ourselves with saying that the
whole New York press and all the musicians are
enthusiastic over the grandeur, the magnificent.
intellectually, the high muscianly character OF
Bulow's playing, and we will draw from this
fact the logical moral that to have enabled him
to produce such a result, such effect upon
his auditors, the instrument he played on must
have been masterpiece, and as en- editorial in
the New York sun truly says, 'wondrous IN
the quality of its sound. in its power and lts
resonance far surprising ali like instruments"
