We find something gratifying rs

ber. This estimate, it must be under.
stood, is not of quantity. but of the
comparative condition Of crops in re.
ference to former years. Tie average
coudition OF the corn crop in the whole
country was, on the 1,t Septembe
eighty-three; the maximum, 100, was
reached in South Carolina, being m
advance Of fourteen over last year; the
minimum, thirty-seven, in Nebraska.
None of the large corn producing
States reach an average. Tue only
States that are average or above it are
Rhode Island. Condecticut, South Ca
rolina. Georgia, Florida, California
and Oregon. The South Atlantic
States. as whole. gre slightly above
average. the high condition in South
Carolina and Georgia compensating
for the decline in Maryland, Virginia
and North Carolina. La wheat, the
South Carolina average is eighty-three,
showing an increase of eight over last
year. We hage no. report from this
State OF oats, rye, barley, buck heat,
tobacco, potatoes or fruit, and but O
slight account of sweet potatoes, hay
and pastures. Ia cotton, owing to ex-
cessive wet in some parts, there has
been al exaggerated growth Of weed
without corresponding fruit. The go.
neral tone OF the reports is less hopo.
ful, and tho prospect OF the crop de-
clinea thirteen per cent within the
last month before the date OF the ro
port. We are not sufii.ien tly advised
to sny whether there has been auy i'm. e.
provement since. Cotton is going
forward slowly to M ,rket, owing to dull
and low prices.
We have here evidence ut one. Of
larger production Of bre .dstnifs, unl of
the necessity for it shown in the limi-
nished average OF the corn crop in tho
regularly coru-producing Stntes. The
crops not reported, we believe, arc
larger than they have been for the last
few years. The low price of cotton,
too, makes us rel oice that We have
another string to our provision bow
