McElroy & Co.'s Circular.

NAw ORLEANS, Aug. 10.-McElroy
& Co. say:
Futures-Liverpool evidently look ed
for decidedly favorable bureau, and
closed about 3-64d lower than yester-
day, while sales have dropped off to
5000 bales. The weakness there in.
dUced a decline OF about points here
during the morning, but when the
bureau report was published there
was a further drop which made the
maximum loss on the day 10 points.
From this there was q recovery, prices
closing at a net loss of s points.
The figure of condition of the crop
as published by the bureau was even
larger than generally expected, not.
withstandiug the fact that the condi-
ton of Texas was placed at the ridicu-
lousy low figure of So, against SO last
month. The average condition tor the
whole crop rs represented by the
bureau lie 81 8 against SO. 6 last month,
aud II is the general impression that
making due allowance for the popular
opinion regarding the condition OF
Texas, the general average would
have been nearer SO, the highest
August condition on record for many
years. We have been inclined t.
think GENTLY that the rains in the
sections which market the earliest
cotton would seriously interfere with
the movement and that this would
have a bracing effect upon prices, but
the bureau report as published and az
amended in the matter of Texas
by popular opinion is likely
to have decided influence in
Liverpool and cause a further de clne
there, and we are therefore inclined to
look for lower markets on this side.
Since the 1st of August, the date on
which the bureau report closed, com
plant has been received from the A t.
lantic states of damage by too much
rain, but the recent clearing weather
has put stop to complaints from that
quarter. Southwest Texas has been
complaining of drought, but since the
Let has received abundant rains, so
that necessarily there has been de.
cided improvement since over the
bureau figures. All these matters
taken together lead US to believe that
buyers will keep out of the mark ct
until q lower range of prices have
been established.

Bureau Crop Report.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The aver
age report of the statistician of the
department of agriculture shows a de.
cline of corn of nearly 26 per cent
since July l, the average for the entire
breadth being SO against 95 for the
month ofJuly. The Condition August,
1893, was 81. The great decline is due
almost wholly to the extensive and
unprecedentedly severe drouth and
the hot, dry winds that swept over
the states of Nebraska, Kansas and
Iowa and parts of the other Western
states. In some localities the crop has
been injured beyond recovery while
in others timely rains would go far
toward assuring fair Yields. The
average for the principal states is as
follows: Ohio, 70; Kentucky, 80; In
diana, 88; Illinois, rs; Iowa, As; Mis-
souri,, 81; Kansas, 40; Net raska, 33;
South Dakota, 20.
The condition OF spring wheat has
fallen since last report, points be.
ing GIL against 68 for the month OF
July. The condition by states is:
Wisconsin, 49, Minnesota, rs; Iowa,
50; Kansas, 80; Nebraska, Al; South
Dakota, 20; North Dakota, 70; Wash
ington, 90; Oregon, 95. The advices
as to winter wheat from correspon-
dents and threshers indicate good
yield of excellent quality.
The condition of oats has declined
l 2 points since date OF last report, be-
ing 767 against III in July. The
condition for August, 1898, was 70. 8.
Barley is 69.8 against 1873 last
month.
Rice, 81 0, or substantially same as
last month.
Potatoes, "a S against 1913 last
month.
Tobacco, 81 against 81 last month.
Cotton, 9S l, an increase of points
over July and over June. The
averages by states are, Virginia, So;

95; Georgia, 95; Florida, 90; Alabama,

Texas, 95; Arkansas, SO; Tennessee;
