New York. July 2S.-Speculative operations Tell into abeyance today with the announce ment that the Southern Pacific directors had adjourned for week without taking formal action on the dividend.

 Foreign exchange rates were maintain. ed today in spite of the dullness Of that market. Discounts advanced in London and the modest recuoeration displayed in the early return of the Bank of France was not sufficient to allay entirely the sup position of further gold withdrawals for that banks benefit. The fresh decline in the prices of copper in London hurt the metal stocks in spite of the taking of the amount of the dividend off the price of Amalgamated Copper.
 The Hartman stocks both closed the day with small net declines and the market did not shake off the heaviness which de- veloped after the adjournment of the South- ern Pacific directors.

 WEATHER CONDITIONS AND GENERAL
 FORECAST.
 The low barometer area over Lake Supe- rior yesterday has moved eastward to the lower St. Lawrence valley causing light to moderate rains over nearly all the north eastern portion of the country. Another more extensive low barometer area moving eastward over the upper Mississippi valley has caused showers from the Dakotas and Nebraska eastward to the upper Lake re- zion. Light scattered showers have also oc- cured in middle and eastern cotton dis tricts. though generally fair weather now prevails south of the Ohio and Missouri rivers and in the West The barometer continues relatively high over the east Gulf region. and this. in connection with the low barometer areas to the northward. is caus- ing continued high temperature in Southern. central and eastern districts Conditions now favor fair weather in this section tonight, with probably local showers Friday.

By Private Wire to c. G. AbercrOmbie [
 Co.,. 32 Commerce St,


 New Orleans. July 2:.-More importance was attached to existing weather conditions Liverpool. cabied that MT. Habersham Kings weekly crop report was considered bullish. The Introductory remarks of this authority in his review of the third week of July. dat ed July 24th. are in part as follows: With the exception of drought area forming at the intersection of Georgia. Alabama and Tennessee. covering an area producing about 5O0O0O bales. and another. forming at the intersection of Louisiana. Texas and Arkan- sas, and covering an area producing about a million and a half bales the weeks devel- opments have been favorable: that is to say. 1t seems to me that 30 per cent. of the crop is doing we'll and 20 per cent. is. for this though the threatening condition is % now w have set fair, and the crop is generally ap- preaching a dry condition. Should these two drought areas meet and thus spread over the belt. I would consider the crop in a very critical condition for 1t is sure that 1t will take very favorable weather. that is abundant moisture from now to the middle the young plant in the Northern half of the belt to take on its fruit and the ad- vanced plant in the Southern half, to hold that which it has"
 In relation to the probability of the two drought areas uniting. the official record of the weather bureau shows that such a de velopment has come to pass the general average of maximum temperatures for all districts in the eastern belt. central and western oeit ndNlHs nOVereu around lOO de- grees during the past three days. the gen. eral average for the entire belt having been ss degrees for the pas. 4s hours. with little rain to report, the general aver age rainfall for the belt having been .O7 today. same as yesterday. Of all States Ar kansas appears to have suffered most from the torrid weather in the south the past week. the average maximum temperature for the district of Little Rock. which prac- tically covers the State. having worked up from 94 on last Saturday to the unusually high average of 102 today, and to add to the seriousness of the situation this partic- uar district has had rain except a trace on one day since the 14th inst.
 Other sections of the belt have fared all most bad, especially in the districts of Galveston which covers Texas, Oklahoma the territories and Memphis which embraces Tennessee and North Mississippi Numer- ous reports of injury to the crop are coming in by mail and wire.

We suggest the above caption for
our esteemed contemporary and neigh
Dor, The Chronicle. Not being con-
tent with lettering the condition OF
the paper as it heretofore existed,
Editor Calf has enlarged the paper,
making it 6-column eight page in
stead of 7-column four page paper.
Everywhere it bears the earmarks OF
a progressive and very much alive
newspaper. We congratulate the PEG.
pie of Emmitsburg and vicinity in
having such a bright, newsy, large

Maryland Day At The jamestown
ExpOsitiOn.

September IL will be Maryland
Day at the jamestown Exposition,
and there is every indication that it
will be the biggest and most brilliant
event of the great fair. The day is
not only red letter date in Mary
land history, but it is also the birth
day of the Star Spangled Banner and
thus it has national significance
which will be fully recognized next
month when the United States au-
thorities will cooperate with the
Marylanders in making the celebra-
ton a splendid success.
The program will be divided into
three parts: First will be the exer-
cises in the beautiful Auditorium
which has been given over to the
Marylanders for the day. The speak
ers will include Governor Warficld
of Maryland, Governor Swanson OF
Virginia, President Tucker of the
Exposition, Director General Barr,
Captain Frederick NJ. Colston, chair
man of the Maryland Commission,
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, Col.
James R. Randall author Of Maryland
My Maryland, United States Senator
VIM. Pinkney Whyte and others.
The music will be the finest heard at
the exposition and will include the
great organ with an orchestra and
brass band and full chorus. Mary
land, My Maryland" will be sung
with the author leading. The Star
Spangled Banner" will be sung from
the original manuscript by Mayor
Smith of Frederick, where Francis
Scott Key is buried.
After the exercises there will be a
reception with refreshments at the
Maryland building for the Maryland
ers and their friends and tent will
be erected to accommodate the over
flow. Maryland has made the record
for hospitality and special efforts will
be put forth to increase it on Mary
land Day.
