BUT more important and deterrent
factor is the reported corn and oat cron
damage. The street awaits with some
anxiety the government crop report to be
issued on the 10th inst which will indi
cate the extent of the ravages of drought
and heat especially at the end of the
hot wave, the effects, of which were very
severe last Saturday and Sunday since
my last letter was ISSUED. The damage
on these two days alone is reported as
very serious
Present estimates place the volume of
ms years corn crop at barely 500 OOO 900
bushels and may be less. Cotton as well
mas suffered from excessive heat and
drought. The crop has been in a back
ward condition and below the average
from the start. In the Southwest, es-
peclaliy in portions Of Texas, the pro
longed dry spell is believed to have ca us
ed considerable damage, but the news
from that particular quarter within the
past few days has been more encourag
ing. Against these factors we may set a
f1attering European trade balance and
wonderfully strong treasury position:

our great crops, we can only expect a

Bryan is as great as he eyer was and
he has been far more consistent than
some of his latter-day critics. There
is much in Mr. Bryan TO command adj
miration and he possesses many of
the qualifications of leadership His
political career is not yet ended. and
il seems TO us unreasonable for his
former friends and. admirers in the
party 10 expect that he will now come
out and declare that under no circum
stances Will he accept the Democratic
nomination in 1904. Mr.. BRYAN may
be the man of all others 10 lead the
party in that campaign. and il he be
nominated on 4 sound Democratic
platform. al Democrats, regardless of
past differences, will give him cordial
support.
