greatly reduced by this practice. It also
is claimed that these men own most or
the country elevators. The commission
concludes On this point:
In view of the quite general acknowi-
edgment among railway men that dis
elimination in favor of large shippers
is still conspicuous. there seems to be a
considerable probability that the claim
that these large elevators receive favors
from the railways in n way or anoth-
er has some basis"
On the question Of grain rates and
-four shipments it is stated that the evil
dence seems conclusive that the effect
of discrimination has already been dis
astrous to our milling interests and that
probably even with the difference in
rates reduced as already shown, it will
continue TO be injurious.
Other questions discussed are:
Discrimination between places, pool
ing. freight classification, railroad con-
solidation INC capitalization, govern
ment ownership. taxation, wages. labor
organizations, eac The conclusion is
reached with reference TO the powers OF

MISSISSIPPI NEWS.


The weekly bulletin issued by the
Weather Bureau on the crop condi-
tions in Mississippi is always of
very conservative nature, but the
view taken by the bureau is exceed
ingly discouraging. The following
is the summary for the past week;
Reports from all parts Of the state
bring complaint of the continued and
excessive precipitation. In many
places rain has occurred almost daily
during a period of from two to three
weeks. The farmer has been given
very little opportunity during the
past week to cultivate the fields so
badly in need of work. The grass
and weeds are becoming more inju-
rious from day to day. In few places
a cessation of the rain allowed work
on two or three days, but the fields
are very muddy. Many fields of corn
and cotton, especially in low ground,
will be abandoned. The scarcity OF
labor adds to the discouraging out
look Aside from the grassy fields,
crops have been variously affected
by disease and insects, but no serious
damage has occurred thus far. Young
corn is becoming yellow, Old corn
suffered somewhat during the first OF
the week from a severe wind storm
that passed over the state, prostrat-
ing corn, trees, etc. Lice are becom-
ing numerous on cotton. Irish Pc
tatoes are rotting in the ground in
some places. The sweet potato crop
is fayorably reported. Much damage
has been done to fruit by the excess
siye moisture.

THE COTTON CROP.

Distinct Deterioration Apparent and in
Some Sections the Outlook is Desperate.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
of Sunday prints the second of its
series of reports on the cotton crop
of 1900. The views expressed by cor
respondents are summarized as fol-
lows:
The month of June has been mark
ed by a distinct deterioration, and,
in some sections, the outlook is des-
perate.
In consequence of excessive rainfall
over large areas of the belt, much
land has been abandoned and much
OF the original increase in acreage
has thus been lost.
Labor is scarce and dear and the
effect Of this condition is severely
felt in sections which are afflicted
with grass and weeds.
In a general way, it may be said
that, with perfect season from this
time forth, fair crop may be made;
a bumper yield seems to be out OF
the question; with an early frost, it
would be extremely difficult to meas
ure the extent OF the consequent dis
