Out side of the trading mentioned business was of comparatively small volume owing to a desire on the part of many traders to await the Government crop report.

 - Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Alabama Section, for Week Ending Monday,
 May 6, 1905.

General Conditions.
 The week, as a whole, was generally very favorable for crop growth. Ample warmth and sunshine were received, and the rainfall was generally well distributed. though too much for work in some localities and in- sufficient for crops in a few south-central counties. Cotton planting is completed, ex- cept in few localities. where retarded by rain; the crop, both early and replanted. has made generally satisfactory stands choppIng is progressing well, and is com pieted in southern counties, where cultva- tion is well under way. Upland corn con- tinues to make good growth; most of the crop has received a first blowing. and some is being plowed a second time. Planting of lowland corn has been retarded by rains in some districts. though much of the early planted Is up to fairly good stands Worms are damaging both upland and lowiand corn in some fields. Wheat and oats are head ing satisfactorily and promise good yield, though oats are heading low in some places. Sweet potatoes are being transplanted quite extensively; cane is making good stands; peanuts and sorghum are being planted gardens are yielding well, though Irish Do tatoes have been damaged by hugs in some fields; melons are fairly promising; straw berries have about ceased to bear in south ern. and are ripening in northern counties. Fruit will be scarce over the northern half of the State. but promises a fair crop in middle and Southern counties. Pas.ures arc generally good.
