Snow and Rain,

While no great amount Of moisture
has fallen at one time this winter, there
has been a little all the while adding to
the amount that was in the ground at
the beginning of winter. Thus it is
that the soil is in better condition for
growing crops than at any time since
the banner yaers of 1891 and 1892.
Saturday morning a light snow storm,
about three inches, fell and was rapidly
melted and absorbed into the soil.
Tuesday afternoon a thunder storm
swept over the county and deposited a
goodly precipitation where it would do
the most good.
These things do not make a crop
however, but do put the ground in a
condition for the early growth of grain,
which, to mature, must make its growth
prior to August, at which time the mid
summer drought is generally at its
fiercest.
It certainly does look favorable at
this time of the year for crops, and
while disappointment has many times
been experienced in the past, it may be
that this is the beginning of another
string of crop years.

DRY GOODS.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE dry goods mar
ket shows conditions of comparative quiet
in all staple cottons and in wooden goods
lines. Prints and silks, linens and more
fancy lines are the active features of the
market. Staple cottons are comparatively
quiet Early orders in brown goods have
been followed by a dull period, which is
made more pronounced by the absence of
any large foreign demand. Bleached cot
tons sold quite freely, but in limited
lines. Coarse colored cottons generally
quiet, firm, and well sold up. Print cloths
are quiet at 25sc. The weeks business has
been small. In spite of this, manufactur

strong. Prints are again m active de-
mand, with low stocks held in nearly all
quarters. Prices are firm and well sus-
tanned. Ginghams steady, in both staple
and dress styles.
