THE COTTON CROP.

The last number of Bradstreet's, a reliable
commercial and financial journal of New
York, has the following estimate of the condi-
tion and probable yield of this years cotton
crop:
The condition of the growing cotton crop
from August %, the date of our last report,
up to September 10, the date or which our
mail reports were made, had not improved.
On the contrary, taking the average through
out the cotton growing States, it had deterior-
ated. The drouth reported last month con.
tinued until about September 10, each day
increasing the injury done. Since that time
rains have fallen over most of the cotton belt,
but, as a rule, the crop on the uplands was
too much dtied up to materially improve.
On the bottom lands the condition of the
crop has improved, but not to any great ex-
tent. In some States, especially in Georgia
and Alabama, the rains have tended to en-
courage worms, and the reports from those
States are that worms are eating the new
growth, both leaves and young bolls. thus
adding to the injury previously done to the
plant. '' ..-" .a...'.@-
The condition and prospect of the crop,
based on the yield, are shown more forcibly
in the following table. This gives the actu-
al average condition Of the cotton crop, as
compared with that of last yearlat the same
time, as indicated by our reports from each
State, and the average for the whole country:

than arrived during the first half of Septem-

nearly every one brings little capital, the
result of economy practiced in the old coun-
try.
"A kind-hearted gentleman in Michigan
has had printed in beautiful style thousand
copies of Mr.. James r. Randall's editorial in
the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionahst
on the death of the President, which was
printed in the ENQUIRER several weeks ago.
These he has distributed over that State as
evidence of the deep grief of the Southern
people for the sad tragedy, and their genuine
sympathy with the Northern masses in all
that concerns the perpetuity of the govern.
ment, and its sacred honor. 1t was happy
thought.
- Most Of the street.car companies in New
York and the elevated railway companies,
have issued orders directing their employees
not to receive mutilated coin in payment of
fares. 1t seems that the punching and "clip-
ping" of silver coins has become a regular
business with a class of petty rascals, who
expend more labor in stealing dollar in
this way, than would suffice to earn the same
amount if applied to some honest purpose.
The Manhattan News Company has also re-
fused to receive mutilated coin One of the
officers of the company recently took bag
full of small coins of the face value of 500 to
the United States mint, and the bullion
value was found to be only S79. He then
sold them to broker, for s95, who will no
doubt put them in circulation again at the
first opportunity.
- The area of drought in this country is
estimated by Canadian writer as Gan i'm

Wonderful Geys rs i'll Montana.
North Missouri River Press

One of the singular natural phe-
nomena known in this section is the
formation of the two geysers in the
strip Of country known as the Sag,
about mile and half from Mr.. Pat
terson's ranch, on the Shonkin. They
were first seen about month ago.
They are situated in a small canyon
running out from the wall of rocks on
the east of Alkali lake. Two geysers
have appeared, one of them being of
monster proportions, throwing up
column of hot water and
steam over 100 feet high, the
other spouting about fifty feet, but with
a larger proportion of water. The dia-
meter is about four inches. The geysers
are intermittent in character, and are
active during the morning hours, about
s or 9 o'clock. The formation of the
country is a sandstone and gneiss, and
has all the appearance of being an an
cient river bed. What has produced
this curious phenomenon it is, of course,
only useless to speculate, as there is no
evidence Of ancient volcanic activity,
and no hypothesis can be formed
which VIII account for it.
