NEW ORLEANS, July 27.-The sudden
jump in prices in the last hour was caused
by late orders from New York, probably
in anticipation of the reports.
The map shows fair weather over the
entire belt, except partly cloudy in ex-
treme northwest Texas, with IL inch pre-
cipitation at Amarillo. Otherwise no rain
is shown except AZ at Monroe, La. Tenn
peratures over the eastern states, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee, are somewhat lower
and more favorable. Indications point to
continued fair weather, except increasing
cloudiness by Sunday night in the cen
trail states.
Our market opened around last nights
close, but as soon as the government fore
cast appeared and predicted fair weather
in the western states over Sunday general
buying developed and carried new crop
prices over 13c, October selling to 13.24c
and holding the gain well with hardly any
give way.
The market is in a nervous state, owing
to private Information reporting the crop
in the western states in a critical stage
dependent for immediate relief on general
rains. Weather developments over Sun
day will, therefore, have decided bearing
on trade views and on the markets;
Should there be no rain in Texas and
Oklahoma during the next forty eight
hours and no prospects for rain appear by
Monday, the strength of bullish sentiment
may be felt decidedly.

NEW YORK. July 27-New high rec
ords for the movement were established
at the opening of the cotton market
today, prices advancing from to IA
points and October touching 1888. 1t was
weather market. rejecting hot. dry
conditions in Texas. Assertions were
made that The crop there is deteriorating
and in urgent need Of rain. In the east
ern belt con littcns were better, but the
trade inclined TO regard the Texas situa-
ton as critical. The weather map today
showed very little indication OF moisture
in the western belt over Sunday.
Deterioration reports from Texas say
the excessive temperatures is causing
considerable shedding and the drouth is
becoming more serious than ever. These
reports caused an exciting scene among
the traders on the floor shortly after the
call. Shorts and commission houses made
mad rush to cover, trading heavily upon
October and December. These two OPP
tions made a continuous advance, car
rying prices to the highest levels of the
year, October advancing from 12.S6c to
1900 without pause, with December adj
vancing to 1903 with only l point lead
over October. The July option made the
largest gain of the list, going to II. SSc
an advance of So points over the previous
close.
AT the close the market was firm, with
prices showing net gains throughout the
list from 80 to SO points from the final

The local truckers have monopolfzed the

tomary at this season Of the year.
The prospects for a fall business are very
fiattering, indeed
Fruit and vegetable crop throughout the

yield and superior quality, both of which
is necessary in order to produce the best
results
Peaches have been plentiful and cheap
during the week. but in our opinion there
win be a decided falling off in in the sup
ply from now on, which should result in
q more active demand and better values.
The watermelon market has also been
badly congested, but at present it is
cleaning up with good prospects
Cantaloupes OF good quality are in light
supply al paying prices.
A fair demand prevails for pineapples,
while oranges are slow sale with some de-

North Carolina-The cotton crop is very
spotted Some fields are looking fine;
others below the average. Owing 10 ex-
cessive rains. cotton has grown too much
to weed and is poorly fruited and the
grass rather heavy. But conditions have
been very favorable for stiff lands and
prospects have greatly improved IN the
past ten days. There are practically no
insects Labor is scarce in some sections,
but with recent favorable weather cult"
walton is proceeding satisfactorily. The
season is about two weeks backward.
Several points deterioration may be look
ed for from last months condition of So.
South Carolina-Continuous rains have
caused the weed to become large and sap
Ply at the expense of fruitaage and the
crop has not been properly worked Some
cotton has been drowned out in the low
lands and grass is general.
Army worms have appeared in many
sections and are doing considerable dam
age Reports thus far received indicate
considerable deterioration from last
months condition OF SO. The season is
three weeks late, and picking is expected
to begin about September 10,
Florda-Heavy rains have made the
prospects very poor, but the plant is be-
ginning to recover some from these eff
fectS.
