THE CRops.-It is now well asceraned that The
cotton crop of this District has been largely re-.
duced by the protractcd and distressing rains OF
the past few weeks. The plant IS well grown,
above the average Of ordinary years, but the Wct
weather has produced such Il large shedding oi
forms and squares that by no possipii,ly cai, any
thing more than very moderate crop be realized
The corn has also been injured along the wafer
courses BY repeated freshets. But it's believed
hy many that enough will be made to subslst the
District until the next crop. HMnSO0r0 Ae"S.
