one of the strongest Blease commune
ties in the county and where pre-
viously this summer speakers op-
posed to the governor have been
howled down. Although he said harsh
things concerning Gov. Blease Mr..
Grace was not only given u respect

plauGed when he had finished.

toned veracity.

OTTON CROP HAS ADVANCED

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 4.-The Com
mercial Appeal tomorrow will say:
The cotton crop advanced in all sec
tiOns of the belt save Texas and Geor-
gia during the last week. In Tex S
there was considerable deterioration
on account of dry weather, with eX-
traordinary high temperatures dur
ng the first half of the week The
plant shed many blooms. squares and
bolls were caused to open premature
ly. During the latter part Of the week
temperatures were lower and scat
tered light rains fell over on the
north and eastern portions Of the
State, checking the deterioration but
not stopping ii save in the extreme
north and east, where crops are good.
Reported rains from other sections
were light and by many correspond
ents as harmful to the crops, as they
tended to produce scalding.
In Georgia perhaps so per cent of
the crop advanced, while the other SO
per cent deteriOrated on account of
dry hot weather. making the condi-
ton of the State as a whole at about
stand off with last week IN some
localities where Improvement was no.
ted the limit OF advancement was
reached without rain. This is true
of nearly all sections in the east hav-
ing no rains during the week Local
rains fell in many localities. benefit
ing the crop.
Save for Louisiana. the West Is re-
markably free from boil WceVil and its
appearance east of the river has been
mainly confined To the central valley.
No complaint is made of the cotton
caterpillar and the army worm mas
almost totally disappeared.

many other important topics.
Col. Roosevelt's statement Of his
attitude toward the negro question
would be made public Saturday. The
colonel has received inquiries from
negroes in several states at to what
he national progressive party's atti-

probable that no negro delegates

statement tonight. relative to the
Rosenthal case. recommended an i'm

Both Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the

WEATHER IN COTTON MARKET.
NOTHING ELSE IMPORTANT
ENOUGH TO FIGURE.
Heavy Rain Needed tO Insure FuII
Crop and Rainfall Will Bring
Selling

New Orleans, Aug. with the
August condition report a thing of
the past. the cotton trade this week
Will be able TO give full considera-
ton to current weather and crop de-
velopments. The market probably
Will be a weather affair, pure and
simple. Anything important enough
to outweigh weather as a factor in
determining the course of prices can
not be fOreseen now.
Showers this week will be general
ly accepted as favorable to all parts
of the cotton region. To some extent
the droughty condition in Texas and
Oklahoma have been relieved but the
relle1 can not be called more than
temporary. Heavy rains are needed
to insure a full crop and any rainfall
there this week will be the signal for
selling from both sides. Other sec
tions Of the belt do not need rain. but
crops are clean and the theory is that
August rains tend to make a big crop
and therefore rains in the central and
eastern sections of the belt will have
bearish effect on prices.
The movement of new cotton will
be closely watched this week. There
has been promise Of late that the
August movement would compare
quite favorably with the movement Of
late years. in spite Of the lateness Of
the crop and the slender receipts thus
far when compared with last year.
Any marked increase in the move
ment will encourage the short side,
but it may call out spot buyers for,
according to the bull side, strong
spot demand still exists and buyers
are anxiously waiting for the new
crop to move. Developments in this
direction will be waited with interest

Notwithstanding the comparative una

OF warning, it is understood the mea-

framed entirely outside the Senate
