Cotton Crop Report for June 1.

The first report of the condition
of this seasons cotton crop up to
the 3lst of May, was compiled and
published by the New Orleans
Times Democrat of Monday, June
l. 1t was based upon reports from
l41 special correspondents from
important points covering the en-
tire cotton growing belt, from
which that journal summarizes the
situation as follows:
"The Times-Democrat herewith
presents the first of its reports on
the cotton crop Of 1903. The con-
cIusions of this journals CORES
pondents may be SUNNI -ized as
follows:
IL The increase in acreage has
been trifling-probably about two
per cent. A considerably larger
area was originally planted, but
much of this was lost through the
unfavorable spring and the inferior
character of seed.
-. Although the weather has
been more favorable during the
last three weeks, the crop is still
very late, and the stands leave
much to be desired.
"3. The supply of labor is fair
ly sufficient on the whole, but many
sections would have difficulty in
picking a full yield.
Il No important damage by
insects is reported as yet, but Tex
as looks forward to the boil weevils
activity with apprehension.
-. The outlook is in the main de-
cidedly below the average, and the
plant is so backward that an early
frost would imply a far-reaching
disaster"

Mrs. Davis Not Present.

The thousands of Mississippians
who went to jackson to witness
the laying of the corner stone of
the new State capitol and to par
ticipate in the ceremonies, were
greatly disappointed at the inabil-
ity of Mrs. Jefferson Davis to be
present. The last Legislature desig-
mated the third of June for the
event in honor of the birthday of
the president of the Confederate
States, and it has all along been
understood that Mrs. Davis would
be one of the honored guests on
that occasion, but her presence was
prevented by illness, as the follow
ing communication from her dated
at home in New York will explain:
MY Dear Gov. Longino: Moth

cornerstone of our new statehOuse
is laid. 1t will be splendid mon
ument to our State if it is as im.

will be. The fact that the corner
stone is to be laid on my husbands

Cotton King Brown says that
cotton has cornered ITSELF" and
that its recent rise was simply the
solution of the question of supply
and demand, of which he and a
few others took advantage at an
opportune time. He asserts that
the demand for cotton is greater
than the supply and will continue
to be until the production is in
creased. Brown is said to be any
thing but erratic and sensational
in manner or speech.

HAY AND RECIPROCITY

ing, Washington,
Washington, May 30.-Eugene G. Hay
and the Minnesota branch of the National
Reciprocity League are getting a good
deal of advertising thru a report made
by Mr.. Hay recently regarding the outlook
for reciprocity with Canada. The latest
eastern daily to discuss the report edi-
torially is the Washington Post, which
concludes from the reports own state
ments that the outlook for rec iprocity
with Canada, is no brighter than with the
several other countries whose conventions
for years have been reposing in pigeon
holes of the senate committee on on for
eign relations.
The Post thinks the Hay report how
ever, is of great importance at this
moment, on account of Secretary Joseph
Chamberlain's announcement in the Brit
ish parliament in favor Of closer CONNER
cial relations between the mother country
and her colonies as against the rest of the
world, and predicts that If a choice must
be made between the United States and
Great Britain, Canada will choose the
latter every time.
