 New Orleans. August 1a.--Reports from PIcaune correspondents IA Louisiana and Mississippi of weather and cotton crop conditions for the week ending Saturday. August II in- dfcats a slight deterioration in greater part of the territory, some sections reporting that the crop has been SC back from five to seven per cent.
 This condition is the result of the excessive warm weather of the last seven days. insufficient moisture hay ing the effect of sunlight and retard- cd growth. Shedding has also re- suited from the torrid temperature.
 Some fields have the appearance of being sprinkled with oil. the plant be- ing dead and lifeless. IL appears nec- essary to have bountiful rains within the next week. A reverse condition would probably mean a repetition of August in 1902. when the stalk was burned up and ceased to grow until the rains of the middle of September caused a second growth.
 Tn the case of a second growth ex- perience has shown that an abnormai- ly late frost is essential to proper ma turity. The first bale of the new crop was marketed August at Columbia.
