Atlanta, Sept 2S.-Section Director ].
IS. Msrbury. in his Georgia crop and
weather bulletin for the week ended
yesterday, issued to-day. says:
Dry weather continued over the
northern section, but the drought was
partially relieved by local showers in
many sections of the middle and
southern divisions; night temperatures
were low during the week, but day
readings were high the first half. Cot
ton opened very rapidly, the late
paintings prematurely and picking was
pushed in all sections. Practically all
of the crop is open in the southern
and the greater portion in the middle
section; from one-half to three-fourths
been picked and marketed; complaint
of scarcity of labor is received from
some localities in southern half of the
state. The top crop is practically a
failure; however, the outlook is favor
able for an average yield with output
above the average in many sections.
"All minor crops have suffered Sc
rious injury from the effects of the
continued dry weather in most Sec
tions, but conditions were so unusually
favorable prior to the drought that
there will be good yields generally.
Except in the places favored by re-
cent rains the soil is badly baked, and
the farmers are unable to proceed with
fall blowing"
The reports by counties as to cotton
are as follows:
Pierce-A dry week, hot the first
part and cool the last part; picking
being pushed.
Randolph-Late cotton badly in
jured, on top crop-bulk picked.
Tattnall-Light showers were very
beneficial to growing crops, but more
rain is needed; cotton being picked
and ginned as fast as possible, a fair
yield promised, no top crop.
Telfair-Picking well.
Worth-Cotton is opening very fast
and will soon be all gathered weather
very dry.
Decatur-Rain and wind damaged
open cotton considerably, about three
fourths of the crop has been ginned
and sold.
Irwin-Showers retarded picking,
which is nearing close, late paintings
not turning out as well as was ex-
pected.
Stewart-Cotton about all open, the
last fields opening prematurely, labor
scarce.
Barlow: Crop badly damaged by
rust, no top crop. opening prema-
turely.
ChSrokee: Cotton opening rapidly,
late paintings prematurely, top crop
dropping off.
Ebert: Weather dry, fine for pick
ing; bolls opening rapidly, crop pros
pect fair.
Floyd: Picking being pushed, some
fields white with unpicked cotton,
plenty of labor.
Franklin: Cotton cut short.
Gordon Drought continues; cotton
opening very rapidly.
Hart: Cotton opening very fast,
much in advance of the picking.

ish sources held the market pretty
well. Prices gradually yielded. how
ever before the talk of a better week
ly crop report at noon and of weak
er spot situation, which was suggest
ed by the easier English market, and
before midday sold down to a net loss
of 15@17 points. The weekly report
proved more favorable than that of
last week, but did not show the i'm
provement expected, and after its pub
LEGATION prices advanced until the later
months were a point or two over the
opening figures.
Full estimates for to-morrow's re-
ceipts at leading points and easier
Southern spot markets were factors in
the afternoon, however, and while the
big receipts for the day were partially
offset by large exports, prices in the
late trading were depressed to a de-
cline of about 20022 points under active
Wall street bear pressure and liquida-
ton. The market closed steady at the
decline. Sales were estimated at about
100000 shares.

To the foreigner as long as the weevil
was confined to Texas the menace
seemed to be comparatively far off,
but now that the pest is extending
eastward the probable future supplies
(already u muchly discussed question
abroad) becomes even more serious. If
the weevil spreads there will probably
be disposition on the part of the
spnners to lay in a surplus supply.
