Special to the Gazette
New ORLEANS LA, June S.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
t'utures--LiverpOOl seems very bearish
and closed easy at Sc 4c decline from SasR1pI
day. On the publication of unfaSota-
bic crop reports from North
Carolina prices quickly reacted. We
= on new crop months. We rather think if
prices advance on the bureau reports when
published the 10th instant, there will be
liberal selling. We believe the short inter-
est is small in all the markets. If Liver
pool does not improve as much as We eN-
poet tomorrow, we shall be low here.
Spots are l-1b lower there to-day. The sup
ply continues very large, and port receipts
to-day are $4,000, against 100 last year
Spots quiet Sales 800. Quotations I'M
changed. Buyers unwilling 10 meet factors,
except at concessions of Sc or more. The
demands to-day were small.
CROP NEWS.
North Carolina. Wilmington We had
warm weather here for u few days last
week. but it is now cloudy and cool, with
| the wind from the east
Wades bOro-Too much rain and cold.
Stands poor: never such d poor prospect 1T
B. lJis time of the year.
~ South Carolina, t'airplay.-The weather
Ihas been dry and cold in this section up 10
last May, but have had rain since, and the
weather is hot now. but cotton is fully
three weeks later than last wear.
Sayanmah-From what we can learn the
crop throughout the territory to Savannah
is IN average condition, but from two to
! three weeks late, owing to the cool May.
June weather. however has been favorable
SO far.
Atlanta-The stands in the north section
of the state are poor The crop is about
two weeks late, had a good rain Two weeks
ago. Some rain is falling now here. To
make anything like good crop viii require
average condition OF the state for
MAY will be - per cent against
n per cent last year. This, VIC learn, Will
be the commissioners report. The COM
missioner will report about 10 per cent de-
| crease in the acreage.
Alabama, Union Springs-The crops in
this section are spotted; some very good,
while others are poor. l think the stands,
| viii average from Uhree-Quarters 10 sew
richths of the full stand. Some are through
! chopping. others about half through. We
| have had some rains, but not enough in
some localities. Our crop will average
| nearly as good as last year, except that 1t IS
about two 10 three weeks later.
Gadscn-The past week has been dry,
/ with a rising temperature, which was
| largely TO the advantage of the crop, also
| enabling the farmers 10 put in SsS111
| weeks work, but the plant seems
| to be Stunted from the preceding
cool nights until it is slow to show signs of
| Improvement in fact, some still complain
| of dying. A few warm showers would be
appreciated by the planters. However.
| after summing up the whole matter we are
inclined TO think fayorably of the prospects,
| at present.
! in this section is good. The plant. of
! course, is late, but this amounts to but
small portion of the average. We have had
hot forcing weather for the past week, and
the plant has been improving. We think
the crop is about ten days later than last
year
Selma-Crop accounts are very conflict
ing at present, owing TO the irregular
stands. Cotton planted early is doing
fine, but the late planting is any
| thing but good, and there is
good deal of that kind. Some
cotton is just coming up. So on the whole
|. fBn't think there is an average stand in
Fff1iis section. Rain is badly needed. Crops
are backward about three weeks.
Tennessee-United States weather bu-
reau report: Serious drouth is reported
from Tennessee, hot and dry. Cotton is
almost a failure. The outlook is rather
gloomy.
Mississippi. Shubuta-We are badly in
need of rain throughout this section. The
prairie farmers have very poor stands of
cotton and there are great many that are
not through planting. Unless we have rain
III few days the corn crop will be ruined.
Cotton that is up is growing slow.
Hattiesburg-The stand of cotton is very
good. The crop is very clean and in good
condition.
Grenada - The crop prospects in this
country are not good; suffering from
drouth
Gloster-The crop is very backward. and
the stand is very poor. Some cotton not
up; no rain in some parts for eight weeks;
no rain in our immediate section for four
weeks. Consider the outlook very gloomy.
If we do not have rain in a short time we
VIII not have more than half crop.
Greenville--l have just passed through
Sunfiower and Washington counties and
find all the crops healthy, and great deal
of it Us large as al this time last year. The
prospects are for good crop.
Louisiana, Delta--The cotton crop is late
land small stands in this section. not very
kood. \ great deal OF cotton planted is
Ynot up.
Arcadia-The condition of the crop is
good and the stands are good enough. The
crop has not suffered for rain.
Shreveport-The average in this section
is about the same Us last wear. Altogether
the outlook is very much worse than at this
time last year.
ArkansaSoCa mden--FaITnerS report their
cotton ten days later than usual. but the
stand is good. We have not suffered for
