New ORLEANS, August 2.-Ihe com.
mittee on information and statistics Of
! the New Orleans cotton exchange, tC
whom have been intrusted the duty OF
compiling a national crop report, made
up from the returns of the various ex-
changes appointed therefore by the Ma
| tional exchange, submit the following

Arkansas, south OF Arkansas river.
LOUIsIANA.-We have siXty-three an
swers from thirty-one parishes, and their
average Gate is to the fifteenth instant.
The character of the weather is gener-
ally favorable, InOIe so than at the same
period last year, although our lGtest
dates bring US complaints If drought.
The stands are generally good and bet
ter than last year. The plant Is bloom
ing and boiling well. Labor il sufficient,
and the present condition OF the crop is
much better when compared with last
year, except in certain districts where
rain is needed.
MIssIssIPPI-Oneh hundred letters have
been received, from thiTry-two counties
in this State, nearly all dated on the if
teenth, their uniformity Of date being q
great improvement over the past. The
character Of weather FOR the past month
has been mainly favorable, with, how
ever, considerable exceptions. Some
letters complain of too much rain, 9TH
ers Of want Of il. These opposite reports
come often from the same county, show
ing an unusually partial distribution Of
rain or local showers. Plantations Of
not five miles apart have had too much
rain on some and too little or none at all
on others. One-fOuTth Of the letters state
that the plant Is too large and growing
too fast to fruit welt, end is in very
uDfavOrab'e condition to receive either q
prot ac'ej drought or wet spell. Very
few complain OF Doll-wOrm5 aud she'd
ding, but 10 apprehension is expressed
OF cRterpillsTs, none in noticeable num-
bers having appeared. Stands are gen.
ally good, and isb0rers looking well.
