THE WHEELING THURSDAY MORNING
ENCOURAGING Crop Reports south.

The recent reports OF the different cot
ton exchanges Of the South, made
through the New Orleans Exchange, are
more than confirmed by late reports from
all sections Of the South, unless it may
be South Carolina and Tennessee, where
want Of rain is complained Of, Not
only does this apply to cotton, but to all
other crops, and, as will be seen from the
extracts below, the prospects are the
brightest since the war.
Our district has planted about % per
cent more corn than last year, and about
per cent more cotton. We have an in
crease OF about 20 acres in wheat to one
last year; an increase OF % per cent in
oats, and about 200 acres in millet and
Hungarian grasses to none heretofore,
with an increase OF acreage over last year
Of land in cultivation Of % per cent
