 Not ten consecutive miles of good Of acres in best producing black land will not average six inches In height Without hesitation or reservation whatsover. what, ', Texas s.s, erop so as whole causing bolls to open rapidly and prema turely and will require thirty polls at least to produce as much cot ton as did twenty last year. Staple king Texas as 8 whole, conditions now are most disastrous ! have ever seen including 1sos."
 New York wires: "There is no sps- cial feature to the present cotton mar ket: 1t appears simply narrow scalp ing affair with no apparent tendency either way. All the bull news that could be wanted is being circulated hot weather continues in Arkansas. OK are good in Americar and reported het- ter for Manchester. yet manufacturers show no disposition to bay cotton at these prices and until some develop n1ent takes place to encourage more activity in. the way of manufacturers interested In the market, you may see little change with possibly a temporary tendency downward. though 1t looks as though the surroundings would ius- ttfy an advance before the government report is made public on Thursday. Rep tember q.
 The local stock continues to shrink which shows exclusively that this is excellent cotton and manufacturers are glad to get 1t. As soon as the farmer becomes convinced of the smaIlness of this crop his disposition to dispose Of his crop will be less aggressive and on the other hand the manufacturer will nave to seek the seller. These two par. ties will furnish strong factors at nc distant day"
 Paris. Tex. says: Since our last let ter the QeLerlOraIlOn mas been very Se- rious on the sandy land and the gray land. on account of extreme dry weather and high temperatures, but the plant on the heavy black land has continued to fruit very nicely. how ever. the intense heat has caused bolls that are not half grown to pop oper on both the sandy and black lands and the yield from this alone will be de. creased very considerable, as many of these bolls have popped open before the lint has been formed. and even where 1t h'ss formed, 1t will take thre" or four bolls to make as much as ono boil ordinarily would. The tempera- lures are much lower than for some time with prospects now for rain, but ground is so very dry that nothing less than a slow soaking rain of twelve Eo twenty four hours duration will give Us adequate relief. The belief is growing with conservative opinions that Texas even with favorable weather from now on cannot make more than 2.500. 00O bales and we think 2,750.00O bales is maximum estimate now"
