to the favorable weather conditions to . degree that might have been expected. but there are many sections where the crop has made considerable improvement. The chief drawback being the backwardness of the season, still about three weeks. and poor and irregular stands Otherwise the plant. though small. is growing rapidly. is strong and healthy. fruiting well and shows material improvement. Lands are well cultivated and blooms are reported here and there With the governments monthly crop report looming in the near distant future. being due this day week. August 2nd., the reports by states of The Journal of Com merce to follow will be interesting A re- port circulated by a prominent operator . day or two ago pointed to a bureau condi- tion of about SOL. The trade. however. is looking for general average of about 7s to 80 vs. s2.s last year. s2.6 average for the past ten years. and 74.9 in 1905. which was the lowest August condition on record. In the big crop year of 1904. the August con- dition of the crop was 91 6. last months condition was 72 An effort is being made to work out large crop on paper in event of the bureau showing a condition better than 78.
 The lateness of the crop Is of first con- sideration. however. and shorts will proba- ply have thorny road to travel before reaching the end of the critical period.

was made that the bids were from sa to 40 per cent higher than prices beine grading in that State.
 The contractors made the statemens that the reason that the amount pe,i mile was higher was that only forty miles were to be graded, and the ex- pepse of transporting machinery. teams and men to this city would be heavy.
 The promoters. after rejecting the bids instructed the engineer to invite proposals of grading all of the Pen sacola and Northeastern road, which is to extend from Pensacola to Andalusia Ala, and also for twenty miles of the which will run to Memphis, Tenn. The distance of the Andalusia road is eighty-five miles, making a total of 105 miles, and the promoters hope to obtain more favorable bids for this amount of work.
