THE sourn,s COTTON CROP.
Summary of Reports from All of the
states.

New Orleans Times Democrat, list.
In this issue of the Times Democrat will
be found elaborate reports on the condi-
ton of the cotton crop as 1t stands at the
present date OF course, a good deal OF
trouble and expense is involved In gather
ing news of this character over so wide
an area, but so many important interests
are dependent upon correct information on
this subject that the game is well worth
the candle. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that the Times Democrat has en1oined
upon its correspondents the most scrnpu-
lous adherence to the facts OF the case
without regard to tho speculative bearing
OF the news. The reports may be roughly
summarized as follows:
Texas--In this State. there has been a
considerable decrease in acreage, probaDiy

tary Whist Party.

Beaumont, Texas, July 1.--Announcc-
ment that the Kountze Bros. have induced
receivers of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf to extend the road from Port
Arthur to Sabine Pass should create no
surprise nor should 1t be discouraging to
Port Arthur. Such extension would not
necessarily imply an abandonment OF Port
Arthur as the deep water terminals of the
Pee Gee 1t simply means that the road
would have two deep water ports. the bust
ness rivalry between which would materi-
ally increase the roads tonnage. Exten
sion of the road Will be beneficial to Sa
bne Pass, but not disastrous to Port Ar
thur. Business at either place will de-
pend entirely upon the efforts of its cit-
zens.
