THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRIcULTUEE's REPORT
ON COTTON.
WASHINGTON. October 14.-The cotton re-
turns of the department of agriculture for
October indicate unusual size and vigor of
plant' and capacity for large production.
Late Developments of fruitage and the re-
ported indications of small top crop limit
the otherwise extraordinary prospects. Inc
coincidence appears of the same general
average of condition in 1881 and 1882 for
June, July and August-So, 92 and 94
respectiyely. During August and Septem-

bushels, or nearly half of the crop OF tn"
United States, to the six principal winter
wheat states, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, IL

wheat of the northwest may make

theresults of the harvest are more closely

much changed.
