age to the Crop.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The monthly re-
port of chief of the bureau of statistics
OF the department of agriculture will
show the average condition of cotton on
September rs to have been 65.1, as COM
pared with S1.2 one month ago, 5s.3 on
September Is, 1902, Ola at the CORE
spending date in 1901, and a ten-year
average of 67.4. These figures indicate
the condition on September Is, and no

from future weather conditions.
Reports OF damage during September
from rust, shedding, drought, caterpil-
lars and worms are general throughout
the cotton states, the damage in Texas
being caused more particularly by boil
weevil and boil worm. The crop is re-
ported as from two to four weeks late.

IN THE WORLD OF COMMERCE
Leading Agencies Tell of Condition
of General Trade.
Reports Vary According to Sections
Considered, But on the Whole
the Prospect Is Favorable.

New York, Oct. 5.-Bradstreet's week.
ly review of trade says: Mixed trade
and crop conditions still present them
selves, although some improvement In
tone is noted where crop estimates, as
in the case of corn, show expansion.
Lower prices for cereals point the way
to future large business and induce a
larger foreign interest in our farm pro-
ducts. Trade reports vary with sections
considered, the best reports coming
from the southwest, the northwest and
the Pacific coast. Spotted trade reports
come from sections of the middle west.
From the south the reports are in the
main favorable as to trade and collec-
tons, but crop deterioration is Wide
spread, except from the lower Missis-
sippi valley. Falling prices for cotton,
though hopeful sign for our export
trade and domestic manufacturers. do
not excite lively satisfaction among pro-
ducers. Among the great industries
iron and steel show the effect of threat
ened over-production in proposals for a
20 per cent. reduction of Northern fur.

southern producers and quiet demand

particularly as to footwear. Wholesale

cussed-Report of Christian Mas
sacre by Turks Mt RnzaloE Re-
peated-Town Is Then Burned.

Vienna, Oct. 5.-M. Sawinsky, For
eign Minister Lamsdorf's secretary, has
issued a statement regarding the re-
suit of the conference in Austria be-
tween Count Lamsdorff and Count
Goluchowski, the Austrian Hungarian
foreign minister, from which it appears
that they reached determination that
the two powers shall continue the Bal
kan policy arranged last winter The
programme for reform in Macedonia
then drawn up has, however, been es-
sentially extended and elaborated.
The secretary characterized the state
ment that Russia had demanded the
free passage of her ships through the
Dardanelles as being quite incorrect,
and added that the ministers confer
ence included the whole area of Eu-
ropean Turkey, with the exception of
Old Albania, and gave repeated evil
dence of entire accord in the views of
Count Lamsdorff and Count Goluch-
owslsi, that in consequence OF the
agreement the powers need not fear
war between Turkey and Bulgaria, nor
any great difficulty in the execution Of
the reforms.
The Neue Freie Presses correspondent
at Muerzsteg, Syria, near which place
the car and Emperor Francis Joseph are
hunting, telegraphs that the repatriation
of the Macedonians who havefied to Bull
garia was also discussed at the confer
ences between Counts Lamsdorff and
Goluchowski and that all the signatories
to the treaty of Berlin will be apprised
of the agreements reached at Muerzsteg
by means of identical notes which will
be published simultaneously.
Report of Massacre Confirmed.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 4.-Courier dis
patches received at the Macedonian revo-
lutionary headquarters repeat the re-
ports Of the massacre of all the Christians
in the town of Razalog (Mehomia), by
Turkish troops last Sunday. The Bull
garian government is not represented in
eastern Macedonia, hence no official in
formation on the subject is obtainable;
but, the foreign Office here believes that
several hundred Christians were killed.
According to Turkish reports the
revolutionists massacred the people and
burned the town of Razalog and the
Turkish population and troops departed
leaving the place in the hands of the In
surgents. These reports the insurgents
deny.
