Statistical returns Of the Department
'f Agriculture for July, which are very full,
show that cotton has improved since June |,
IL average condition being three points bet
tor than on irt OF July. From Virginia to
Gcorgia and West Of Mississippi every State
shows higher figures. From Florida to
Mississippi and Tennessee tho condition has
slightly declined. General average, 02.
which Is higher than In July, 1873 aud 1874,
and lower than IN any other year for the
past ten. II wns o. In 1877 and In 1870,
and e5 last July. This condition l. duo 10
the late, wet spring, and rapidly aud gencr-
ally improving under fsvorIng skies. The
figures for the several States are: Virginia
IS, North Carolina 90. South Carolina os,
Georgia e2, Florida o., Alabama 90, Mis-
sisslppi 81, Loulslans %, Texas OF, Arkan-
sas 90. Tennessee ~. In Texas and South
Carolina the condition Is better than In July,
1891, aud the same as that date In Louisiana.
Tho drawbacks reported are those Of tho
past, and mainly deficient stands, slow
growth and general bsckwardness, but there
is marked absence at present Of an nm.
healthy condition. Rcturns are nearly
unanimous In indicating a good degree Of
yIgor and rapldIty Of growth. Thus far
there Il only loss Of time for development
and fruliing. Further favorable condition,
may make good the deficiency, but unfsvos.
able weather In July aud August would
make full crop impossible.
