THE COTTON CROP.
July Returns Of Condition to tho Agri-

[pY telegraph 70 Doe Dlspatch.l

WAsHrNGTos. ID. G.. July 10.--Thc July
returns to the Department OF Agriculture
show some Improvement In the cotton
condition during the month of June. The
general average for the whole breadth mas
advanced three points, standing at $50.
This is three points below tine JUS return
Of last year, and one above that Of 1882 In
but four seasons since 1874 have the July
returns been SO low. The slight improve
ment noted has been quite general through
ont the whole belt, the result OF iavoraDis
weather during the month. The crop IL
universally late. ranging locally from u
few DAYS to two weeks or more.
In the Atlantic and Eastern Gull states
especially the plant Is small and backward
and the lack OF suitable weather tor cGop-
ping out has made the fields very grassy.
termination was slow and Imperfect. .
and repanting failed to secure perfect
stands. Considerable areas have been
ploughed up and given To other crops or
abandoned entirely. From Mississippi
westward the plant, while somewhat back
ward, is of good color. making gencraily
vigorous growth. While plantations
running sufficient number OF piowss arc
reasonably clean, there IS sOino complaint
OF lack of labor
Tire outlook in Texas IS especially good,
the plant vigorous, fields well worked, ana
fruitIng begun. Worms are reported from
but two counties. both in Texas not even
invasion of the first brood being noted
anywhere else.
The returns Of condition by States are as
follows: Virginia. - North Carolina "a
South Carolina, so: Georgia. 80; florIda,
%: Alabama. 81: Mississippi, 81 LOUISIANA
90: Texas. %: Arkansas. %. Tennessee. 81;
The temperature OF the month ,"'as above
normal throughout almost the entire re-
zion. The rainfall. while rather short, was
generally sufficient. and this favorable
combination OF meteorological conditions
enabled the crop to recover somewhat
from the unfavorable earlier season. The
lateness Of the plant will make the fnal
outcome unusually dependent upon the
length of the season.

OUT OF TUNE.
rhe Marine Band Thoroughly Dissatisfied
fBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.

lBy telegidIi w 'ii' P'of"''"I
WASHINGTON, d. C., July l0.-There Is
dissatisfaction in the ranks of the mem
hers of the United States Marine Band
owing TO decision made by the Fourth
Auditor of the Treasury. The law moor
porating the Marine Band provided that
II should consist of thirty men and a
leader. The thirty men were then placed
in three classes, receiving, respectively,
-.3i. $50, and Sl7 per month. according TO
class. and extra compensation OF "a per
month for PLAYING at the White House.
Since the organization of the band efforts
have been made to have both the numbers
of the band and the pay Of the men In
creased. The Navy Department has been
in accord with these efforts. and twice
during the past three years the secretaries
have improved the status of the men by
raising the rating so that AT the present
time there are twenty men III hcfrst class
and ten in the second. leaving tire third
vacant. The decision Of the Fourth Audi,
tor is that tho Secretary of the Navy had
no authority 10 change the rating OF the
men. and he holds that instead of there
being twenty men in the first grade there
should only be seven. He also hclds that
the men must return 20 the Government
all the extra money they have received.
