The Committee of the Charleston
Cotton Exchange published their CROP
report August 2d, from which we con-
dense the following: For convenience
South Carolina is divided into five dis
rricts: in the first on August the first
the weather has been warm, with show
ers and more favorable than last year,
fewer worms and the bottom crop
maturing. The later crop viii do well
if not arrested by an early frost. Labor
satisfactory. From present appearances
the yield viii exceed that OF 1871 from
dfty To one hundred per cent. The
second division had more favorable
weather than last year; no worms; bot
tom crop well boiled, but does notma-
rure quickly. The later planted shows
the bottom crop doing excellently, but
I'm the eastern counties rust Is doing Sc
rieus damage; the middle and top crops
are defective there, but in the western
doing well. Prospect favorable; labor
ers working wei. In the eastern portion
the WELD will be below; in the western
above that Of last year, from ten &c
thirty Der cent. for the late cotton IN
the third section too much rain, especi-
aIlv in the eastern portion: boil worm

this district; but injury, so far, small.
Rust reported in four counties, injuring
the maturing of the bottom crop. In
the western counties maturing freely,
except where there was excess of rain.
N some parts heavy foliage from vigOr-
ole growth makes too much shade; the
middle and top crop poor, but the late
Milan ted better, except where injured by
rain. LabOrers working well generally
hut politics begin TO turn them from
their duties. IN light, sandy soil pick.
ing has commenced; also where rust has
matured the bOlls. The plant gen.
orally large and vigorous, with favorable
weather, fifteen per cent. increase ex-
Dected, andgenerally q better yield than
on last wear. In the fourth section rains
have ~doneiniUry; weather less favorable
than at the same time last year. Bottom
crop well boiled, but not maturing well
i'm some parts. Early middle and TOP
crop poor from rust; late crop better.
Worm and rust in places, but damage
MT great. LabOrers working as well as
u.u.sl. Picking begun on Light, sandy
FaDda and where injured by rust. Yield
in easlern counties equal to last year; il
