CROP AND FRUIT OUTLooK.-A summary
of the special dispatches from all parts of the
State on the 18th inst as TO the condition
of the crops and fruit shows that the yield in
cereals will be from an average in some sec.
tons to full crops in others, while prospect
of the heaviest ever known is reported by
several counties. Coluss reports the pros
pect OF having eight million bushels of wheat
to sell. The hay crop is damaged in some
localities by the late rains interfering with
its being cut, or by injuriDg it after cut.
Some anxiety is also felt that the continued
rains will result in rust or other damage to
maturing grain, but no facts to that effect
have thus far been given of any moment.
The fruit crop, except in the foothills, prom

heavy yield. In the foothills the late frosts
have seriously damaged nearly all kinds Of
fruit, and in some localities tits reported that
the yield will not be one-hslf enough to sup.
ply the local demand. It is quite probable,
however, that as the season advances the
