CONDITION OF CROPS.

The week just ended has been excess
sively hot and dry, with local hot winds
over North Texas. There has been almost
an entire absence of rain except over the
extreme northeastern portion Of the State,
where showers occurred on the 13th.
The drouth is becoming serious In many
parts OF the state In some places no rain
OF any consequence has fallen for more
than four weeks.
The season UP to the commencement OF
this drouth was not such as would prepare
the cotton plant to hold up under hot, dry
weather. The frequent showers and occa
sional heavy rains gave an abundance OF
surface moisture which caused the plant TO
send out lateral roots at the expense OF the
development Of the main tap root, on
which the plant must rely for sustenance
during periods of drouth AS result the
Texas cotton crop was not prepared for this
drouth, and II has suffered materially.
Complaints of shedding come from all
parts of the State, and this does not apply
to the leaves and squares only, but in some
places young bolls are falling off TO an
alarming extent, Where prospects were
excellent two or three weeks ago only
fair crop is now indicated except in scat
tered localities. where showers have oc-
CURED at frequent intervals. Cotton is
opening rapidly over the southern portion
OF the State and picking is being rushed
during the favorable weather. Cotton is
opening over the northern portion of the
State, where picking is commencing in
some places.
The weather has been favorable for ma
turing corn. which is now being gathered
over the southern portion of the State
Rice. whore irrigated, is generally prom
Using. but Providence rice Is, as a rule,
failure.
Rain is needed generally for farming
operations, and II IL should come soon II
would improve late cotton and other grow
ing crops.

ISLAND CITY NEWSITEMS
City Council Held Q Meeting, but Accom-
plished Very Little.
SHERIFF LOOKING INTO A PRIZE FIGHT
Affair Ia Said to Have Occurred Last
sundny-Cotton Receipts Arc Very
Heavy So Far.

Galveston. Texas. August 15.-The cit.
council had another OF its celebrated spe.
cial meetings tonight. and started off by
appropriating $500 to the police department,
Tor the purpose of Kidding the town OF
worthless and unlicensed dogs. The pres
ent ordinance on the subject makes 1t the
duty of the chief of police to kill or cause
to be killed every unlicensed dog found
on the street.
The police and fire commission submit
ted a partial "slate" OF officers they had
elected to the police department, but the
caucus seven wouldn't have 1t. They want
the entire list of applicants submitted to
the council. Then the majority proceeded
to pass resolution instructing the COM
mittee to this effect
The caucus seven also want the comp
troller to verify City Treasurer McCarty's
latest report by having a committee ac-
tually count the cash on hand, and they
resoluted to that end. Having accomplished
so much toward electing officers of the
city at one meeting the members grew
tired and adjourned till Thursday night.

HEAVY corroN REcEIprs.

The cotton season is opening, sure
enough. Yesterday the railroads brought
in 1852 bales of cotton. Every bale of this
was of the new crop. This cotton goes
into today's receipts and will be counted as
part of the 1s99-1900 crop. Such receipts
for this time of the year are remarkable.
OF these 1852 bales the La Porte road
brought 1867, the Missouri Kansas and
Texas 100, the Galveston, Houston and
Henderson 1888, and the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe 102.
The receipts at Houston today are 1884
bales, of which 27S0 are new crop bales,
The long period of dry weather is forcing
the cotton bolls to open earlier than usual
and the receipts for August are likely 20
be in excess of previous estimates.
One prominent Houston cotton man
informed the reporter that Houston would
receive from $4,000 to 100000 bales of
cotton in the last fifteen days of August,
and that of this amount $4,000 bales would
come to Galveston.
Shipbrokers here believe this estimate
is too high. They say the August receipts
will be from $4,000 to 10000 bales. They
would be more if we had the tonnage,
Vessels will straggle in from now on
and before long the wharves will be lined
with these messengers of peace and pros
perity.
