COTTON
MADE PROGRESS
HEAVY RAINS DAMAGED CROP
EAST OF RIVER.
BOIL WEEWLS APPEARING
All Infected Territories Report the Pest,
but Damage So Far Is Small-Plant
Is Fruiting Well, Many Large
Bolls Being Reported.

Menphis.-Weather conditions OF the
Mississippi river were favorable to the
growing cotton crop during the past
week, and from good to splendid prog,
ress was made in that locality. East
OF the river the weather was unfayor.
able, too much Sain having fallen, and
the plant made little progress.
In the west the crop made progress,
that as a whole was above normal.
Warm weather, with plenty of sunshine,
and with the ground well supplied with
moisture, proved to be just what ths
crop most needed, and a splendid growth
was made. Some parts are getting dry,
and while rain would be beneficial, little
damage will accrue from a continuation
of the dry weather for another week, at
least. Cultivation is well advanced and
fields are clean. The plant is fruitins
well and bolIs are appearing in many
districts, especially in Texas.
Complaints of boil weevil are heard
from all infected territories, but SO IA
the damage from this source has been
inconsequential. Scattering reports Of
other insect damage were made, but they
are hardly worthy of consideration.

COTTON SHIPPERS

COMPROMISE OVER sTFAusv,u
LINES REFUSING BAD BALES
OCEAN LADINGS INVOLVED
Order of Steamship Lines REFUSING 81.

Carriers Will Be Free From
Responsibility.

New York.-A compromise was efys...
ed here between the steamship lines 40
the cotton shippers in the dispute ar.-
the refusal OF the steamship eomnan,s,
to issue ocean bills of ladinp for go
shipments after September l unless ~
railroads delivered the cotton thorongblv
covered and entirely free from ali ey;.
dence of damage.
BY the agreement reached, the decisioD
OF the steamship lines is automatic,IIn
rescinded, and while the cotton hsI,s,
need not be. entirely covered, the steam.
ship lines will assume no responsibility
for damage resulting from imperfect Gov.
ering.
The demand of the steamship lines was
virtually for better baling of cotton. ba.
cause of damage they were often forced
to pay for cotton which, they said. was
damaged before it was received for shin.
ment. The cotton shippers met this "a.
mand with the statement that it would
be impracticable and unnecessary u
cover the sides of bales.
Il. J. Glenny, president of the New Or.
leans Cotton Exchange, who acted as
chairman of the conference, said after
the adoption of the resolution.
"The action of the conference in adopt.
ing the resolution of the subcommittee
is a step in the right direction toward
the better handling of cotton, and | be.
heve it is also a movement in the DEC.
portion toward securing the perfect
method of baling cotton"

Nature has been a big factor in the
reduction. Abundant rainfall throughout
the country is making bumper crops.
The potato yield is unprecedented this
year. There has been a big drop in
retail prices. Potatoes which sold at
S5.25 a barrel a year ago may now be
obtained here for $2,75 a barrel. There
has been a corresponding reduction Ia
the price OF most Of the other staple
vegetables.
The fruit crop appears to be as prom

this year will be the largest in the his

perts, and Chicago is plentifully supplied
with Southern peaches at reasonable
