CONDITION OF GEORGIA CROPS,

Not as Good as They Might Be, But
Better Than This Time Last Year.
Output of Orchards Cut short by
Frost.
Atlanta. June 13,-The June crop re-
port was issued by the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture to-day. The re-
port covers 122 counties, and though
conditions are not as favorable as could
be desired. it shows that there is con-
siderable Improvement over the crop
situation that prevailed at this time
last year. The report says:
Corn and cotton are doing we'll in
most sections. There is some increase
in the acreage of corn and a decrease
in that of cotton. but the conditions
and prospects of both are fairly good.
The outlook for sugar cane and rice
is encouraging.
The products OF the great CONNER
cial orchards were cut short by the
late frosts, but it is hoped that the
fruit which escaped will, by reason of
advanced prices, reward abundantly
the care and labor of the orchard men.
This is especially due of the peach
crop. Apples. pears and plums are far
from promising, lnOuRn Luere are some
few exceptions to this statement.
The melon crop in some places is not
up to the average; in others it Is do
ing well. Grapes are fine in most sec
tions, and in some far above the aver
age. Gardens have suffered much for
lack of rain, but good showers in some
localities have revived those that were
failing by reason OF drought.
1t has taken several days to get the
report in shape, but the result from the
122 counties will prove interesting.

GOOD CONDITION OF TRADE.
Due to Prosperity of Agricultural
Sections and Bright Outlook for
Crops.

Due to Prosperity of Agricultural
Sections and Bright Outlook for
Crops.
New York, June l3.-R. c. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade will say
tomorrow:
No diminution in business is appar-
ent from labor controversies, owing to
the prosperous condition of the agri-
cultural sections and the bright out
look for this years crops. Retail dis
trihution of light weight wearing APP
parel has felt the stimulus of higher
temperature. Railway earnings in
May were 81 per cent. larger than
last year and 217 per cent. above those
of 1900
There continues to be a wide dis
crepancy between the amount of bust
ness offered and the contracts closed
in many branches of the iron and
steel industry, owing to the inability
Of producers to assure delivery at
specified time. Contracts running we'll
into next year indicate that the end
of activity is not near. Pressure is
still most conspicuous for railway and
structural supplies and agricultural
implement works are crowded with
orders. Limited stocks are still the
cause of steadiness in all branches of
textiles. Holders are not urging sales
and buyers show a disposition to wait.
Purchasers of cotton goods are infiu-
enced by the prospect of cheaper raw
material after the new crop begins TO
move. Cotton rose slightly on a few
unfavorable weather reports, but the
outlook is very bright in many states.
Grain markets have shown the eff
feet of conflicting crop estimates and
weather reports. Failures for the week
numbered 1852, against l79 last year.

NOT A TIME FOR TRIFLINo
 WITH PARTY PRINCIPLES.
Doubtful Alliance Should Be shun- ned and No Expedient or IT, regular Movements are Re-
 quired, Declares Ohio Man.

Columbus, O., July Lone of the main features of the ohio Democratic clam bake given at Beaulah Park. Grove City. under the auspices of the Young Mems Democratic Club today was the reading of q letter from John R. Mclean, for merly Democratic candidate for gover- nor of Ohio. The letter follows:
 Washington, D. C.. June 24, 1902. "To the Executive Committee Ohio Clam-
 bake, Columbus. O.:
 '.Gentiemen--I am unable to cancel or postpone engagements made prior to re- ceiving an invitation to the Democratic clam-bake at Columbus, on the first of July. This, though. does not keep me from taking part in the success of your celebration. With the excellent manage ment 1t has, the well-founded hope oi victory that now inspires the Democracy and with the spirit of uniication now per vading. it cannot be failure. l trust the proceedings will be of a character to stim- uiate the party to unite on sound doc trines, to employ all legitimate forces and to work earnestly and intelligently for a triumph which may giorify every true Democrat in the land. The enduring prIn- ciples of Democracy are those upon which we must rely. No expedient or irregular inventions are required. If there ever is d time for apologies for Democratic exist ence, or for trifiing with the cardinal faith or for doubtful alliances, the present is certainly not that time.
 Sincerely,
 "John n. Mclean"

PROPER FOOD
Better than Ocean Freezes.

It makes a lot of difference in hot weather, the kind of food one eats.
 You can keep the body cool if you breakfast on Grape-Nuts. for in it's pre- digested form, It presents the least re- sis tancc to the diges tive organs and con tains as much nutriment as heavy body heating food such as meats, potatoes, etc.
 Grape Nuts is probably entitled to the claim to be the most perfectly adapted food for human needs now extant. The meat eater and vegetarian are alike, charmed with it's crisp taste, the delicate flavor of the grape-sugar and the nour- ishment to body and brain while the housewife is attracted by it's being thor oughly cooked at the factory and ob- tained from the grocer ready for instant use with the addition of cream, making it q ccol. delicious dish, requiring no hot stove and cross cook on hot morning.
 When Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee constitute the summer breakfast with the addition of a little fruit. it Is not necessary to seek the ocean breszes for comfort, for external heat is unno- ilced when internal eoolness from proper food is felt. The recipe book fin each package of Graps-Nuts gives dozens Of delicious disnes.

Cotton is be- ginning to suffer for moisture: 1t is. as a whole. very small: most of it has stopped growing, and. while 1t is blooming pro- fusely and fruiting fairly well. lice are seriously damaging the crop in many To- calities; taken as a whole, the cotton outlook in this section is unpromising; however, the plants are well rooted and, If good rains are received soon, they will show rapid improvement Early corn IS almost ruined by the drought; in many fields 1t Is tasselling too low to ever ma ture the ears and the yield will be very light; late corn is holding up fairly well, but Is also small and unpromising. though clean and well worked Thrashing of wheat is completed. with light yield. Gardens continue poor and backward. in most localities being parched beyond re- covery; cane is holding up fairly well. but field peas are generally poor; the planting of sorghum and COW peas for forage continues; sweet potatoes are making poor progress, and the dry weather has prevented further trans planting of slips; Irish potatoes are prac- tically a failure in many localities; pas lures are poor, and water for stock is be- coming scarce on some plantations; peaches and plums continue to shed so freely that they will make a very ordi- nary yield, though both are being mar keted slowly; grapes continue very prom ising: watcrmelons are being marketed in fair condition. though rather small, cantaloupes are fair only.

But the min lsters are confident that China will ac- cept the decision of the majority of the ministers when she is convinced that the United States Is her only supporter Some of the ministers insist that the policy of the United States is unreasonable and in direct opposition to the protocol.
