Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Weather

A more or less decided deterioration
in cotton is indicated over much the
greater part of the cotton belt. With
the exception of oklahoma, complaints
of shedding are received from every
State and rotting of the lower bollS

of too rank growth, however, are
much less numerous than in the pro-
