NEW ORLEANS, Idle 10.-From thir-
ty-four parishes we have received ninety
replies, bearing dates from June 2lst to
July LIST, which report generally favora-
bic weather, but lees so than at the
same time last J ear. In the lOWland5 8
large proportion of the area which was
overfiowed has been replanted, while in
the uplands in some places, portions of
the crops have been abandoned, owing
to sickness among the laborers anu
mules. The stand is good average,
and the early crop or first planting is
forming and blooming well. The later
crop, or that planted after the overflow,
is too young for forms and blooms. The
present condition is good, but less favor
able than at this time last year. The
bulk of the crop is fully two weeks late,
while that planted on the overlooked
land is fully month behind. The crop
is clean, and with favorable rains, which
are much needed, will grow fast.
MISSISSIPPI.
We have received one hundred and
twenty-fOur reports from thirty.three
counties in this Ste te, bearing date from
June 10Th to July ri. The weather is re-
ported as having been too cool in the
favorable as compared with last season.
There Is no increase or decrease of i'm
portance in lands planted since last re-
port. Stands are mostly fair to good,
but the plant is backward and in great
many sections no blooms are reported,
while farming is progressing fs,vorably.
The greater part Of the reports state that
the condition is fair and good, some few
as rot good and grassy, but in compare
son to last year the conditi IN is less fav-
orable, and on an average two weeks
backward. Some few complaints of
slight damage by grasshoppers and in
sects are made.
ARKANSAS.
This report is compiled from seventy
three answers received from twenty-siX
counties, the dates Ranging from June
2lst TO July Sd. The weather during
the firstsfOrtnight Of June was unusually
cold and generally rather wet; since the
fifteenth, however, it has been dry and
warm, and on theiWhOle it is reported as
favorable, though not to be compared
with the weather Of the same time last
year. Since last report there has been
nc increase or decrease in the quantity
Of land planted in cotton. The stands
are represented as good; the plant is
generally forming well, and just COM
mencing to bloom. Its present condi-
ton Is good, but it is about ten days
later, as compared with last year, as
the cold nj hts have checked its growth
and the heavy rains have prevented
the planters from working their
crops as steadily as required-We there
fore have more complaints OF grass.
The plant, though small and back
ward, is healthy and promises well.
