WASHINGTON, Sept. The official crop re-
port from August shows that corn has been
somewhat injured in some localities by the
drouth and other causes, but not sufficiently 10
threaten a material reduction from former
years. 1t is anticipated that cotton has been
damaged by rust and worms, but there is 10
indication of decreased yield. The wheat
crop is generally excellent, in many cases com
pensating for the deficiency in quantity. Oats
and barley are generally harvested in good con-
dition, though there is diminution in quantity.
Rye, barley and bLckwheat are from 3 to 20
Der cent. below the average. Potatoes have
been injured materially BY insects. The hay
crop in most States is above the average. Sorg-
hum at the West is in fair condition. Sugar
in Louisiana and orida IS 10 per cent. above
aud in other States 10 per cent. below the aver
age. California is the only State which reports
an increase in the production of hops Tobac.
CO is from TO II per cent. below the average
except in Missouri, Illinois and Michigan. APP
Piles promise 6 10 a 9-10 Of an average crop. A
small decline in wool is probable. Hogs show
some d sprecation in size and weight.

MORRIS BROS MINsTRELs-This celebrated
company of minstres drew a crowded house at
City Hall last night as was naturally to be ex

Brothers, BARLEY and Campbell. Barley is
great as bone soost, and the comic act of
"Les Mserabes" would make Victor Hugo
laugh, even though the new French Republie
is in such imminent danger. Bernado makes
a splendid wench dancer, and the singing by
the company was excellent-Billy Morris's
hooking bird solo calling forth an encore. To.
night is the company's last appearance
