COUNTRY'S CROP CONDITIONS.
Drought on the Atlantic Coast Has
Been Relieved.

Washington. July 31.-The following IS
the weekly Weather Bureau summary of
crop conditions:
The drought prevailing at the close of
the previous week in the Atlantic coast
districts has been wholly relieved by local
rains except in Southern Florida, and the
week as a whole. in the district east of
the Rocky mountains has been one of
highly favorable temperature conditions,
with generally abundant moisture.
The corn crop has made splendid prog
ress during the week. Some early corn
in the Carolinas and Virginia has been
permanently injured by drought, but late
corn in these states is promising.
over the eastern and western portions
Of the cotton region there has been a
material Improvement in the condition of
cotton, but in the central districts it has
suffered further from continued rains.
In Texas the crop has been generally laid
by in good condition, and is promising in
many localities, while complaints of too
rank growth, light bolls, weevil and boil
worms are reported.
Some early tobacco has suffered perma-
nent injury from drought in Virginia and
North Carolina, but elsewhere reports in
dictate that the crop is in promising con-
dition, having been greatly benefited by
rains during the past week.

The Government Tropical Gardens at
Miami, under the care of Supt. Dean. are
very promising, and the young plants
from the seed are making a very salts
factory growth. Prof. Fairchild of the
United States Agricultural Department,
who is travelling in the Far East, has hts
eye upon this station, and when he finds
rare fruit which he believes will be an
acquisition to this tropical section, sends
seed to Mr.. Dean. Already there are
plants from the Dutch East Indies, which
promise to thrive well in the Florida eli
mate. From Siam Mr.. Dean has young
plants of fruit trees that give promise
OF reaching maturity at an early day.
He also has several varieties of young
fruit trees from Honduras. also two wild
pineapple plants. These pines grow wild
in the woods in Honduras, and are said
20 be of very superior variety. a young
lime tree from Chile is showing it's adap-
liability TO this climate and soil. Mr..
Dean hopes that It may fruit next season.

COTTON FUTURES.
The Closing Quiet and Steady at De-
cline of BOIL Points.

New York, July 31.-The cotton market
opened at decline of 3a6 points and con-
tinued generally weak throughout the ses-
sion, except during brief intervals of rail-
ly, caused by covering short contracts.
Following the opening call there was a
gradual decline until prices reached a
level 5Gf7 points under the closing fig
ures of the previous day. All classes of
traders appeared to be selling. The shorts
displayed more confidence than has been
seen here for some time past. July con-
tracts went out at about 9.05c, having
since the first trade shown an extreme
change of 602c and 16.21c. Selling would
have been more active but for the fear
of manipulation in August cotton. One
party with extensive foreign connec-
tons holds practically all the spot cot
ton here. At the weakest period of to-
days session for futures there was some
buying by conservative parties for a re-
action, upon the theory that the market
had been oversold and had in that way
become easily subject to any new bull
ish influence that might arise. Factors in
to-day's decline were the las point decline
in Liverpool, the favorable weekly crop
bulletin from Washington; the generally
bearish character of crop ac-
counts, unsatisfactory reports from
cotton goods centers, continued
indifference on the part of the
speculative public, weak Southern spot
market advices, full receipts, as far as
they cut any figure, and a lack of public
support
The market was finally quiet and steady
at net decline of 9q11 points.
