A report of the condition of the
wheat crop in Russia has been sent
to the State DEPARTING 1t by Minis
ter Foster. He says that from cor
respondents in various parts OF the
Empire he has received reports
which show that the yield Of this
cereal for the present year will be
immense. The yield in the coun-
try tributary to Odessa, on the
Black Sea, it IS estimated, will be
50 large that the people viii ned
no more for four years, There is
the best crop along the river Don
that has been harvested since 1874.
Reports from Moscow also show
that in Southern Russia the crop
is very large. Il is not SO heavy
in Central Russia, but the Weld
will still be abundant, and
through all the districts tributary
to Moscow the wheat product will
be larger than for twenty years be
fore. The minister believe that
the great crop this year will have
a benefcient influence upon the
political agitation of the country,
because well-fed men are less quar-
relsome than hungry ones.

The unprecedented drouth pre-
vailing in Northern Virginia has
been disastrous to the corn crop.
In SOM portions, rain has not fall
len for three months. No feed for
cattle and in some cases people
travel thirty miles for breadstufls.
On the upper Rappahannock, the
water is hauled from the river for
household use, and the supply
from the river is so reduced that
the large mills are unable to do
more than custom work. Other
manufacturing establishments
have been compelled to shut down.

Journal that the Weld ofcotton this
year viii not equal that, of 1880.
Bradstreets' saws: New Orleans
reports that during the week the
weather has been dry and sultry,
and that, in consequence, cotton

ton telegraphs that the weather
has continued dry and hot, with
more or less additional injury
to the crop. Little Rock sends a
discouraging report, and Nash
vile, while reporting light local
rains, notes but little general -im-
provement. Atlanta, Augusta
and Charleston find little cheer
ing news to repoA, though our cor
respondent at the last named city
anticipates, with late frosts, a good
top crop. The report from Savan-
nah is encouraging. Norfolk and
Wilmington anticipate i'll effects
from the drought when the crop
comes to be counted. Altogether,
1t is plain that in localities the
crop has received most serious in
jury. and no evidence is at hand
indicating that favored regions
will make up for the injuries in
hicted."

We have received from the
Louisville and Nashville Company
statement showing the gross and
net earnings, expenses and mile
age Of the road for each month
from July 1, 1876, to June 30,1SS1,
a period Of five years. The state
ment shows, in the clearest man
ner, the financial growth Of the
company, the net earnings of the
first six months OF this year
amounting to almost as mach a.
for the entire fiscal year ended
June 30, 1877. The. net earnings
for Jane, 1881, were larger than
for any previous month in the hi :
tory Of the company, fact which
sufficiently answers all criticism
Of the ability of the management.
That the officers of the company
have consulted the rights Of their
stockholders is evident from the
explicit statement they have made
Of the operations of the road Were
other railroad officials to give the
same recognition to the claim of
the owners Of the property which
they control, they might enjoy the
same confidence which the L. & n.
management deservedly possesses.
