The report of the New York journal of Commerce on conditions in iM1lssissippi, while not as favorable as iast month, was nevertheless. some what better than had been expected. the deterioration reported not being greater than usual at this season of the year. and the only unfavorable and important feature of the report was the announce ment to the effect that the poll Weevil had made it's appearance Tn Laflore County( Miss, returns from tennessee denoted prospects in that state as being exceedingly bright, the condition of the crop having improved oyer last month The Dallas News published a report on condition m Texas and the territories the con attiS1 ot the Texas crop being placed the crop of the Indian Territory 4 s ger cent better and that of Oklahoma was lz per cent. better than one year ago. Last month it made the condi- ton or the Texas crop per cent bet ter thaa last year, the Southwestern cotton Buyers Association of Waco is- sued a report showing a deteriora tion TOT the State of Texas of points, s2 compared with 90, but as it's average Da the fact that their report on Texas last year was SIS. tended to detract the the. 6uiiish significance attached to more favorable in that temperatures were much lower all over the belt. es- pecially in the Southwest and in the district of Vicksburg. the hot wave having been broken for the time be- ing, and there were no rains in Texas possibly none in the central belt. bu. further rains, however, occurred in the South Atlantic States
 In early hours Liverpool was fully up to the requirements, points high CT than yesterday. American markets opened shade better as there ap- peared to be lack of willingness on the part of traders to follow the ad- vance any further. especially since weather conditions had become more favorable. There was realizing of profits at the advance by longs and re-selling of market by shorts, which weakened the undertone considerably. The publishing of the weekly weather report by the Government was another factor in the late decline, the review being much better than anticipated normal conditions having the rule ex- cept in the past week. In figuring on possibilities of September Bureau re- port 1t is thought that the general av- craze will hardly be below so and will compare with a ten-year average of about 73.3.
 The market again appears to be a sale, on bulges.
