Cotton Crop Letter.

Messrs. w. F. Klumpp & Co., OF
New Orleans, furnish the following
statement of the condition for the past
week:
Weather conditions since the past
fortnight have been unfavorable, and
private advices, with few exceptions,
report the crop to have deteriorated to
large extent over the entire belt,
particularly in Texas.
There are numerous complaints OF
shedding and rust, and insects raVag-
ing the crop in many sections of Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana, while the boil
worms and boil weevil are reported
to have done great damage in many
portions Of Texas, the latter being
more numerous than in past seasons
and injecting many new localities.
The crop situation at present is
very uncertain, and it will be some
time before an approximate idea can
be formed as to the ultimate yield,
and considering the deterioration in
August, we believe the Government
Bureau Report Of the condition up to
the 25th August rather too good, how
ever, the crop has deteriorated mater
tally since the Government Report was
compiled, and any further deteriora-
tion is likely to cause a rapid advance
In prices.

Revanche for Agincourt.

The first meeting of English and
French archers since the battle Of
Agincourt took place at LIE Touquet,
near Staples, in circumstances which
were naturally very different Ioni
those of 1415. A contingent of Eng
lish archers, some fifty in number,
crossed the channel to take part IN
an international tournament, and
there were nearly one hundred French
archers among the competitors. In
match between Englishmen and
Frenchmen the latter proved their de-
cided superiority by winning hand

CHICAGO STRIKE SETTLED AT LAST
ponneIIy States That the Step Had
Become Necessary to Prevent Dis

ruption.
Chicago, Special.-The strike of the
butcher workmen, which has demor'
allied the great meat packing indus
try throughout the country for. the
last two months, was officially de
clared off Thursday night by Presl'
dent Michael J. Donnelly, of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
Workmen of America. This morning
Mr.. Donnclly telegraphed the mem
bers of The national executive com
mittec asking their consent to an an
nouncement of the end of the strug
gle, and having received favorable an
swers from all, he declared that the
strike of the members of his organiza-
ton would end at midnight.
The strike of the members of the
affiliated unions at the stockyards
who quit work in sympathy with the
butchers will officially be called on
Friday morning at a meeting of the
conference board of the allied trades.
This was decided upon at a meeting
of the central body Of the allied
trades. The general body was at
first in favor of continuing the strike.
but Mr.. Donnelly, who was present,
announced that the men were defeat
ed and that in order to save his un'
ion from being entirely disrupted he
would order his men to return to work
in the morning no matter what course
might be taken by other unions. AS
the other unions had no grievance OF
their own, but had gone on strike to
aid the butchers, there was nothing
left for them but to follow the lead
Of Mr.. Do1nelly, and they, too, de-
cidcd to call off the strike, as far as
they were concerned.
