Texas. to relieve the suffering plant in the arid districts of the southwest. In advance of official reports, information of a private character is coming in from the Mississippi valley states to effect that marked deterior- ation has. taken place during the past two weeks, which is also the case in the South Atlantic states where hot winds have been complained of during the early part of the week.
 There was issued today report by the National Ginners' Association wherein 1t was stated That the crop had deteriorated 6-5 points from July 26th to September 2d at 6s.2 vs. 72. en August 9th. and 75.7 on July 2Sth. Whatever be the figure of av- craze condition of crop to be published by the government next Monday which is ex- pected to about 72. remembered that said report will have been made up from returns of date of August 25th. and that further deterioration has taken place throughout the South since then, especially in the central and eastern portions of the belt. particu- larly in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia Texas has suffered so much from the dry Southwestern Cotton Buyers Association reported loss in condition of fifteen points for the State about ten days ago by averag- ing the condition at SO vs. 75 last month.
 Today's report of the National Ginners' Association reports like deterioration, con- dition of Texas 59 vs. z. one month ago. As long as this dry, hot spell lasts it is going to make the chances for full crop this season all the more uncertain. such con- yield per acre, such as has occurred in Tex as already.

SPEAKING AT BLoorON.
United States Senator Johnston Speak

United States Senator Johnston Speaks
 To Citizens OF Coffee County.
 Elba, Sept. 6.-(SpeciaL)-Y afternoon Senator Johnston spoke at Brockton. He was listened to by good crowds and delivered an interesting speech on public matters in general, touching briefly upon internal i'm provements, such as public roads
 This morning hundreds of people saw Senator John H. Bankhead for the first time. though they had voted for him last year. He addressed a monster audience in the court house at 10 o'clock, devoting his speech to the subject of the upbuilding of the State. He urged the adoption of the Overton amendment to the constitution; he told how good road improvement should be done by the counties, State and the na- tional government.
 His remarks upn the mud tax" that the farmers of Alabama pay were in- tensely interesting here, where a To- cal campaign is on for floating bonds for road building. Senator Bankhead refrained from taking part in the local contention except that he said the good roads were bound to come, and that every county should take the earliest method of securing them.
 Senator Bankhead's crowd here was the largest that has heard any public speech in the county in years, being estimated at from 800 to 1000. The public school children, who desired to hear him. were not dismissed, on ao- count of the crowd of men filling the hall The Senator's reception in Coffee amounts to practically a continuous ovation. Had he come here last year his large vote would no doubt have been much larger.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York, Sept s--The stock market
 today had the further benefit of the action
 o fthe Burlington directors yesterday In in creasing the dividend to eight per cent.
 Fhe direct benefit to the Northern Pacific and Great Northern by reason of their own
 ership of nearly all of the Burlington stock was clearly recognized
 There was also flood of rumors in cir
 culation alleging plans for distribution of
 these profits to the stockholders of these
 companies in the form of extra dividends
 and these rumors were the melting cause of
 most of the speculation which showed more
 animation than for many weeks past. The
 rumors were without any authentic confirm
 ation Another helpful factor in the spec
 ulation was the forecast of a favorable bank
 statement tomorrow. the fact that the
 banks are now gaining on the interior move
 ment with the movement of crops already
 going forward is probably due to the indi-
 rect effect of the method of deposit of gov
 ernment fund.- which is being followed by
 the Secretary of the Treasury.
 Call money rates were appreciably stiffer today in spite of the strength promised in the bank showing. Payments were being made of a s3,000.000 installment of sub scriptions to the Great Northern pfd. new stock. The uncovered shorts played an import ant part in the days upward movement The persistent circulation of rumors of fur ther endorsements was believed due to efforts of the bears to secure stocks more easily. Some of the reports thus put in circulation were daring. Their effect how ever was slight. Renewed reports of frost | damage to wheat in the Northwest failed | to check the advancing tendency. The l days speculation centered largely in stocks l most benefited by the Burlington bonus in- l cluding Union Pacific by reason of holdings of Great Northern preferred and Northern l Pacific treasury of that company. | A recovery in the London price of copper l gave some strength to copper industrials. l The market closed easy.
 Bonds were firm Total sales par value l $1,1S2, 900. United States bonds unchanged on call.
