THE COTTON OUTLOOK.

WASHINGTON, October 18.-The following
is a synopsis of the statement of the depart
ment of agriculture upon the condition of cot
ton in October: "The cotton prospects has
undergone serious changes since the Septem-
ber report. The weather has been generally
favorable for picking. No violent storms are
reported, and the drought has not prevailed,
the rain fall in nearly all the cotton States
exceeding two inches in September. Florida
alone reporting fully four inches, and Tenn
essee three. The devastations of the caterpil-
lar have extended further North, even into
Carolina, and have involved the top crop par
TALLY, and in many places wholly. The in.
fluence of the drought in the latter summer
months has been cumulative in its effect, and
exhausted vitality is more apparent than in
September, yet there are districts which re-
port exemption from this premature decay,
and promise enhanced results, the effect of
fertilizers in advancing the opening in the
Atlantic States The continued effort of
worms is shortening the season ofgrowth and
will greatly hasten the close of picking. In
some places the crop is already gathered, and
in many others the fields will be clean early
in November. The general average of condi-
ton is reduced from ninety.one in the first
week of ofSeptember to eighty-two in October
in October last year the average was seventy
six, which was material reduction from that
of the present month. 1t will be seen that
the condition is still placed higher than in
last years report for October, while the area,
according to June returns, was thirteen per
cent. greater. The State averages are as fol.
lows: Virginia 81, North Carolina 80, South
Carolina SO, Florida rs, Georgia SS, Alabama
49, Mississippi 78, Louisiana u, Texas 50,
Arkansas 75, Tennessee 80. The local dis.
parity existing in the condition Of cotton is
perhaps more marked than usual. Of the
two counties in Alabama producing most
largely, both together yielding one-ninth Of
the cotton in the State, Montgomery reports
one hundred and Dallas fifty. In Georgia,
Dawson, the first in amount of production,
reports one hundred, while Sumter and Lee,
both large in production, give only sixty-six.
In Mississippi few prominent counties re-
port high condition-Wa ashington 56, Madi-
son sc, Warren 65 and Kinds 60, while Mar
shall and Claiborne return 100."
Masks and Faces.-Ladies who mask their
faces and necks with enamels endanger :heir
health to no purpose. The plaster work de-
ceives nobody. There is but one article
known which will restore blemished COM
plexion or create external brilliaucy and bloom
where they have never heretofore existed, and
that article is HAaAN's MAGNOLIA BALM.
1t performs this toilet miracle by infusing vi
tality into the skin. The floral and herbal
juices of which it is composed gently stimulate
the circulation in the minute blood vessels,
and brace the network of nerves through which
they pass. Thus quickened and strengthened
the external covering soon acquires fresh
and healthful hue, and every trace Of sallow-
ness disappears. The palest cheeks derive
from the beautifying baptism of this delight
full cosmetic a warmer hue, and the arms,
and neck, a blonde lustre which the charlatans,
who profess to make ladies "beatiful forever"
with their poisonous cement, can never hope
to initiate

tis and all diseases of the lungs.
