DALLAS, August q 1t is TO be regretted that
the secretary of the Merchants Exchange In this
city should send out semi official reports Of the
cotton crop OF this section OF the state which
vary greatly from the opinions entertained by
planters aud cotton men here generally. He
has published To the world that The bollworms
have appeared In fiben counties heard from,
and probably prevail IN all The west; that on cK-
animation along tho Texas 4 Pacific and 81.
Louis railroads, discovered the worms ut work
nearly everywhere" Further on no states the
damage by the worms cannot be definitely stated
yet but the general opinion Is, II Will be seri
Gus, and the condition OF cotton Is regarded ms
critical throughout the section mentioned" II
appears that some one In Louisville, kentucky,
has been sending out similar reports
Of the crops In that state, and the
Courier Journal thus speaks OF them; I'VE 0p-
pend M extract nom stupid report on Ken
lucky crops sent i,om this city and published In
the principal cities under the guise OF u special
telegnphlc report We publish II rs u sample
OF the misleading rubbish TO which many lead.
ing Journals open their columns" From the
best information Obtainablo the cotton crop
throughout the whole OF north Texas never be
fore promised more abundant yield at this sea-
son than II does this year at this time. Not u
single planter, so far us can be asoertained, re-
ports the bol-worms, or In fact any other worms,
doing any observable damage To tho crop now
growing. The president or the secretary OF the
Cotton Exchange In this city should contradict
the report, for II will not only have tendency
II unc0ntradictcd, TO embarrass merchants In
their credits abroad but may prove u detriment
10 trade and business generally sufficient 10
the day Is the evil thereof and when the boil
worms do appear In formidable numbers
II Will be time enough to telegraph
the fact to the world There.a always u few
boll-worms In Texas every year, but their dcpre.
dations this season have not been greater than
usual, unless the present rains should be prolific
Of their growth aud numbers there will be more
