The August crop returns to the depart
ment of agriculture. the work OF about G, 900
correspondents, give estimates covering tn e
entire producing-area of over 500 Ot the
principal agricultural counties of the United
States, upon the condition of most of the
crops now growing. The condition of cot
ton has improved During the past month
the general acreage has advanced
" TO 81. This is higher by
four points than in August, 1875,
and lower by 5 than August of 1850. 1t is
also points lower than at this date in 1875,
and lower than 1878, but is higher than in
five other years since 1872 The average
condition of each state was as follows
Virginia, 81; North Carolina, 81, South
Carolina, 0S; Georgia, 81; Florida, so; Ala.

Carolina, has the same average
as in July. There is no in-
jury from the drouth except in slight
degree in a few districts in Texas. In the
northern and eastern divisions of that state
there has been too mnch rain, causing too
vigorous growth Of the stalk, delay in fruit
ing and sometimes the shedding of bolls.
In the entire cotton belt thoru is reported
an excess of moisture, injurious in proper.
ton to the retentiveness of soil. This
cause accounts for the comparative low con.
dition in North Carolina, where it is now
deemed too late for recuperation Rust be.

Many apprehensions OF future loss are ex.
