COTTON CROP IN
SOUTHWEST TEXAS
REPORTS FROM OVER SAN ANTO-
NIO TERRITORY OF MOST EN-
COURAGING NATURE.
Very Littla Damaqe Ha. Been Done

most Entirely Disappeared—Com-
presses Preparlna to Handle 80.000
Bales Against 57.000 Bales Last
Year—Reduction of Acreage.
If present conditions continue south-
west Texas will have great reason to
congratulate herself on being approxi.
mately the bat >.-er cotton producin'?
■ecliou of .he entire cotton xonc. Too
nrnch rain in north and east Texas
and too much rain in nesrly all the
other southern sUtea this season has
had the effect of ruining a larger por-
tion of the crop. In some of thes
aectb ns the plant went nearly all to
weed while elsewhere the enormous
rains’ among the earlier months have
created *ueh conditions that whole
fields have been abandoned altogether.
Here in the sunny southwest things
•re different. Rain in the San Anto-
nio territory has Jnst been AM*nt
to make a splendid crop and after
the crop war. Insured. It
like other plants as every farmer
knows it does not require very much
r«ln to grow cotton. Dry. hot weather
after a F od start is the essential
requisite to successful cotton produc-
itOße ..
That dreaded insecK the boll weevil
has almost disappeared from its ac-
customed haunts fn place where
whole farms were .ravaged and the
farmers entirely 'despaired of ever
raising cotton again there is not a
weevil to be found. From authentic
sources it la learned that the disap-
pearance of the weevil Is due partly
to the army worm which infested this
region last August and September.
This animal ate practically all the
green growth left laat year and aaa
consequence there was little left foe
the boll weevil to feed upon. Then
the »ng spells of extremely cold
weather during the past winter froze
out an immense number of the lnscct a
loft The late start in the cotton
acreage this spring finished nearly all
the remainder.
in nn interview with a Ught re.
jjoner coxkcernmg the wltou uiuation
a representative of the firm of Efron
& Co. this morning said:
•'Advices from ell points in the San
Antonio dotton district indicate the
largest yield that has been known In
| years. While the acreage has been
I reduced more or less the unusually
fine condition of the crop will more
than make up the deficiency. There
are very few reports of damage by *be
boll weevil and the farmers generally
are in a jubilant state of mind.
’’What is termed the San Antonio
territory embraces all that country
: west on the Southern Pacific to Sabi-
nal; on the International & Great
Northern to Laredo; south on the Sap
to Karnes City; north on the Sap to
Kerrville and beyond to Fredericks-
burg; northeast on the International
& Great Northern to San Marcos; and
cast and south on the Southern Pacific
' to Marion and Stockdale.
‘‘We are in constant communication
‘ with this entire district and never was
! the cotton crop more promising than
it is today. In fact picking is quite
general even now through this district
in every direction from San Antonio.
To illustrate the excellent condition
take the Fredericksburg country for
I example. There the cut in the
acreage amounted to between 30 and
I 35 per cent yet despite this cut the
yield will exceed that of any preced-
ing season.”
Arrangements have been perfected
at the local compresses to handle 80.
000 bales of cotton which it Is confi-
dently believed will be shipped to
San Antonio this season. 1-ast year
only 57000 bales were handled.
Picture framing costs less at this
season of tke year tian at any other
time. Let Ziegler & Ziegler frame it.

SEVERE WIND STORM
SWEEPS THE CITY
THERE WERE FEAR 3 THAT IT
WOULD DEVELOP INTO A
HURRICANE.
The Streets Were Choked With Dust
and Some Damage Was Done by the
Slamming of Doors In Which Plate
Glass Was Broken —The Wind Came
as a Relief to the Oppressive Heat
Which Had Been Prevailirfg.
After several days of oppressiv
heat a severe wind storm struck tnc
city yesterday afternoon abou’ 5:30
o’clock and Somewhat cooled the at-
mosphere. The storm came from the
northwest after a brief warning.
The sky began clouding up shortly
bertre 5 o'clock and soon the heavens
wore obscured. A heavy embankment
of clouds was seen coming up from
the northern horizon and soon a heavy
wind blew over the city. The sky
was filled with dust and it was im-
possible to see fifty feet ahead when
the storm was at Its height.
Owing to the fact that the streets

had not been sprinkled the dust was
impenetrable in the business portion
of the city and those who happened
to be on the streets sought refuge in
the nearest doors and corners.
There was some apprehension that
the wind would assume tho propor-
tions of a hurricane but all fears were
soon allayed for It was all over in a
few minutes. No rain accompanied
the wind although a few drops fell a
little later in several parts of the city.
Excepting for the dust which
caused much inconvenience to mer-
chants and housekeepers until the
denrs and windows could be closed
the wind was a welcome visitor and
the extremely hot weather of tho day
was over.
The effects of the wind is still felt
today in that the atmosphere is light-
er than it has been for several days.
Some damage was caused in several
parts of the city by the breaking of
glass windows and doors caused by
these slamming to when the wind
came up.
Reports reached the city this morn-
ing to the effect that there was a
heavy rain fall at Austin Taylor
Lockhart Marble Falls and Lampasas.
There was also a high wind at those
places. y

CONDITION.

। Associated Press.
New York Aug. 3.—The iron trade
generally continues in a very sound
and satisfactory condition says the
Iron Age. The rush of buying in the
southern field Is over for the present
and in the leading distributing mar-
kets southern iron is slightly easier
since some of the smaller companies
are willing to sell on the basis of
$11.50 for No. 2 at Birmingham. The
larger interests who sold heavily late
ly are asking better prices. A lot of
4000 tons of gray forge was sold-for
Pittsburg delivery at a rather lo*
price. .
Considerable further quantities of
malleable Bessemer pig have been
marked during the past week and in
the Chicago territory tne condition of
furnaces is such that the supply is
rather restricted.
Demand for billets and sheet bars
has continued good and prices are
higher with some good business pend-
ing In eastern Pennsylvania both for
steel and for muck bars. The rail
mills are full of work. Some large
orders which have been pending have
not yet been placed. For some small
V>ts September delivery some large
systems have indicated a readiness
to pay a moderate premium.
The condition of the structural trade
is well Illustrated by the beginning of
construction work on a mill for rolling
structural shapes at the Clairton plant.
This mill which will have a capacity
of 10000 tons is to he completed in
the extraordinary time of thirteen
The plate trade is looking forward
to a heavy additional tonnage for tho
large lot of steel cars. Agricultural
Implement makers have entered into
additional season contracts for steel
bars. The strong position of steel is
। having it« reflex action upon sheets.
in which concessions are not being
made as freely as before.
The general demand for pipe shows
’ little Improvement the oil country re-
quirements are fair and the buying
of boiler tubes is good. There are at
hand the first indications of the ap-
proach of buying of wire products for
the coming season but the movement
has not yet become pronounced.
