Lousman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

During the past week the market ad- vanced about 1sc, or s2.50 per bale July reacting from sos to 8.53 The improve ment was occasioned by a more favor able outlook for peace in the far east, by private reports of crop being damaged by excessive hot weather and by more popular belief in a greater reduction Tn the acreage than reported by the gov ernment, which practically indicated no decrease at all by claiming 2S, 120, 600 acres planted up to May 25. The reports Of damage to the growing crop however, are more of an imaginary character than otherwise, as the weekly crop report of the New York Chronicle denoted that the weather was favorable during the past week and that rapid progress has been made of clearing fields of grass and an improvement in the condition of l-e crop has been reported by many of it's corre- spondents The official record of temper ature for the past seven days ending with yesterday would seem to bear out this assertion, conditions being more in keep ing with last years good weather than with the unfavorable weather of the year before last. The maximum temperature for the belt averages 90 degrees, com pared with S9 degrees for corresponding week last year and s6 degrees for the same week in 1903, and the rainfall was practically nil, averaging but .15 for the entire belt, against 1.54 one year ago and 1 12l year before last.
