Weekly Summary Issued by the

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-The following Is
 the Weather Bureaus weekly summary or crop conditions: ...
 Late corn has been damaged to some extent
 by heavy frost in North Daokta ana portions of Nebraska. Kansas, Missouri and Iowa inc crop has also suffered some slight damage 0i
 low lands in Indiana and Ohio but the puik of the crop east of the Misssstppi River IS
 matured and safe from injury from frost Cut
 ting has progressed favorably and is nearing
 completion in some States
 The heavy rains in South Atlantic ana east
 Gulf States caused much injury to cotton ana
 the reports from the central and western as
 trIcts of the cotton belt continue to snow the
 unfavora ble effects of the rains of the preNl-
 ous week although a large part of the named
 districts has received only light showers or no appreciable rainfall. In the central ana eastern districts much open cotton mas neSn discolored and considerably beaten out, whue rotting and sproutng are quite generaliy re- ported and cool weather has checked growtn purine the early part of the week picking was retarded in the eastern districts but was actively resumed at the close of the week Tn Texas picking progressed uninterruptedly ana in localities some improvement in late cotton is indicated. but the general condition or the crop in that State is poor.
 But little damage was done by trosts 10 to- barco in the Ohio Valley and none elseWneIe' | Tn the Middle Atlantic States and New Eng land the crop has been housed in good condl- | tion. ,, , Su,, With but few exceptions blowing and fall | saedinp have progressed favorably and the re- | norts from the States of the Missouri Valley | indicate that early sown wheat is coming up nicely.

B. M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

lBy special Ledeeu
 NEW ORLEANS, Sept 24.-Cabies today were again decidedly discouraging, calling at tention to the poor condition of trade and in difference of foreign spinners ana preolctns a gradual decline in prices when the crop began to move in earnest The apparent com posture of Liverpool in the face of prevailing crop accounts and the miniature stock of cot ton on hand in the market. serves to impress one that opinions expressed in these cables are quite logical, yet there is a question If ac- counts of depressed foreign trade are not eH- aggeTated to some extent, as spinners SHOCKS of raw cotton are considered to be very much reduced and an effort may be in progress to replenish as cheap possible In view or the unsatisfactory crop outlook. In consequence or unfAyorable reports from abroad, speculative support here has diminished considerably. The market showed declining tendency In sym pathy with the easiness of spots owing to an absence of demand in that department. The weekly crop report represented poor condt- tion of the crop and caused rally in prices, vet this improvement was perceptibly lacking in vigor Closing quotations are unchanged to 2 points higher than yesterday
 Considering the existing level of price and unpromisinR cTop situation 1t is remarkable that cotton is accorded such meagre support from Speculative sources and this fact is accounted for largely by attention being at tracted to unfavorable trade reports at the moment The uncertainty also as to what course the country will pursue in disposing Of it's cotton causes investors to exercise con seryatism for the time being.
 Receipts are gradually expanding and even those inclined favorably toward the market prefer to wait and see in what manner the movement will be cared for.

SOUTHERN CATTLE RAISING
kr. R. W. Storrs of Florida Talks With Enthusiasm of Outlook
 in Alabama,

Mir. R. w. Storrs of DeFuniak Springs, Fla. editor of The. Stockman and an en- raising in the South passed through Montgomery yesterday morning on his way to Louisville to attend the Inter- State Fair and was caught at the depot for a brief interview by an Advertiser man.
 Mir Storrs is very hopeful of the out look for stock raising in the South and says that the time is coming and coming soon when Southern people will not only supply the home market with beef and pork. but will be large shippers also.
 Few people" he said ''who have not paid particular attention to the trend or events in this line have any idea Of the progress in this direction, particularly in the way of cattle feeding and raising. Northern capital that heretofore has g, been ,s,n kind, has lately been attracted to the South by the success attained in feeding cattle on cotton seed meal and hulls it that on several occasions Texas cattle fed in this manner have topped the St. Louis market.
 From this have started investigations of Southern grasses and the possibility of grazing cattle, all the year round on such pastures as will not only carry cat tie through .the winter barely alive, but In good condition. with the result that within a short time large investments will be made in cattle ranches in South Alabama and Western Florida, and lands that have been deemed or uttle Value after the timber has been cut on will double in value.
 .One notable example of this Is the Magnolia Ranch in Baldwin County. where 1s,000 acres are under fence and over 400 acres are this year in cassova, cowpeas and velvet beans.
 "Of course all this has not been with out it's eeffct on the small farmer and the amount of hay and other forage that will be saved this year will more than Quadruple that of any year in the past.
 Last year." continued MT. Storrs 'at this time you could not see from the car windows between here and Flomaton a sign of any forage except an occasional fodder stack, this morning saw numer- ous fields, in which the corn stalks had been cut and shocked in the western way and hay stacks were no variety at all In one place I saw forty acre field of grass in which a mower and sulky rake had been left standing from Saturday to finish the ten acres remaining uncut
