THE COTTON CROP.
REPORT OF THE jour,
sAx or CoMMEa%M
Indicates That the Two Carolinas
Goorgia Sad Florida Has Had
Too Much Rain.

The August report of the New
York Journal of Commerce, which
was published In that journal yester-
day, shows conditions to be 81, Z com.
pared with 80 7 for the pre- vlous month,
8 decline of one point against a 8 8
point decline last year. For tho o K
responding month In 1905 the c0ndi-
tion was 10 4; in 1904 1T was 81 4, and
In 1903 it was II. The present report
is based upon / $50 replies, bearing an
average date of July "a. Georgia and
Florida show radical declines, being 7
and s s points, respectively, while
N orth and South Carolina, Alabama
and Arkansas show comparatively
slight deterioration.
TO Offset these declines Mississippi
Improved II points; louisiana, 1.s
points; Toxas, ! 3 points; Tennessee,
LOS; Indian Territory, 40, and Okla.
homa 3 6 points. Practically the
whole cause for deterioration has been
insignificant. North Carolina Is now
78, 4. against 80 on January 1; South
Carolina is 70 d, against 70 q; Georgia,
1853, against 80 3; Florida, II q,
against II; Alabama, 81, aRainst 81 6
Mississippi, 81 /, against $50; Louis
lama, 88 &, against 81 8; Texas, 80 2
against 83 s.; Arkansas, "a, against
94 7; Tennessee, $40, against 80; In,
dian Territory, IS 8, against 80; Okla
homa, 50 g., against SO.
With the exception Of the Caro-
linas, Georgia and Florida, weather
conditions have been generally very
favorable. The excessive and wide
spread rain In those States has pre-
vented ploughing, allowing grass tt
grow heavy and forcsing growth o.
stalk at the expense Of fruitage. Low
lands have suffered most, and especi
ally where poorly drained, but clea,
weather, If not too late, will greatly
repair this setback. All other States
with few xceptions, have about helt
their own, and some have shown i'm
provement, notably Texas, the Terri
tories, L)uisiana and Tennessee.
In the OTHER States copious rains
have been beneficial rather thar
harmful and the prospects are gener,
ally very bright. Tho plant, though
email, is strong and healthy, ant
fruiting we'll. Insects have done little
or no damage In the entire belt, but
fear CT injury by the boil weevils IL
getting somewhat ommon in Texa.
and louisiana. Sinca the average
date Of these repopts rains have moi
done airy serious damage and temper
atures have not been high, which
many correspondents feared after &c
much rain. Many districts report q
late season. The crop Ia very largely
laid by and August 1st to the 15Ch
will probably see the end. Complaints
Of scarcity Of labor are comparatively
few.
