however. that the crop still has to
pass through the two most trying
months of the season July and Au-
gust. before reaching the full stage of

general development of bolls. Those
two months are the most critical, as
1t is IN that period that the crop

through during the last three weeks.
Therefore 1t is entirely question OF
the character of the weather during

South will produce the big crop of Ia
100000 bales necessary TO make up
for the crop of less than l2,o00,Oo0
bales Of last season, and the crop

fore trade sentiment and the course of
prices for the near future will be in
fluenced entirely by the character of
the weather during these two most
critical months of the crop season.
Need of More Omcial Weather Reports.
In view of this fact, there is a gen
eral demand for more information on
the weather Throughout the cotton belt
and a more complete and comprehen-
sive weather map from the Weather
Bureau, especially as to the rainfall,
than is now being given out to the
public. The Cotton Exchanges here
and at New Orleans got much more
detailed reports Of the rainfall than
the public. under the present service,
because of the limited number of sta
lions. amounting to about only thirty
four in the eleven great cotton States,
making up the cotton belt. which APP

IRON AND STEEL.

New York. June a5.-Ac tivity in the

prominent feature In the steel trade
last week. Railroads released bridge
orders requiring 10000 tons of struc,-

stimulation came from the determine
ton of fabricators to secure more re-
munerative prices than during the past
six months or more, Now bids are
higher.
The principal railroad bridge con-
tracts last week were 24oo tons for
The Atlantic Coast Line. 1000 tons for

the Louisville and Nashville, and 1900

New York, June 25.-The narrow

y New York. June 25.-General liqui-
dation and fresh selling for a decline
in prices has been the feature of the
market this week. just as it was last
week. The pressure has been in
nuenced chiefly by the much better
weather conditions which have pre-
vailed in the cotton belt the past ten
days. The drought and excessive heat
which set in about May 20 have now
been efectually broken in most OF The
cotton States. except Oklahoma ano
parts of the Northern hall of Texas
and also parts of Tennessee and the

good rains have fallen, covering a
much larger extent than the Weather
