turnl reports ofthe condition Of cotton
on September !, IL lower Than on Au-
gust |, 10y reason of the drouth which
has been the soyorest IN Texas, yet felt.
Ia every State east and north In North
Carolina, apprehension u that too sue
cu!Cnt rnriy growth would wilt under
the high temperature, and n absence
Of raiu has been realized too generally.
Local areas on The Atlantic coast appear
10 have had u sufficient moisture, and nj
n few points TOO much on low lands.
Tho effect on these meteorological
changes has been a wide prevalence of
rust aud shedding of leaves and Young
hollis. In LIGHT soils rruiting win he
FASTENED, The top hollis are already
forming, In those OF greater
weed, and with deferred irosts
u good crop may be made. There are
few losses by caterpillars. When they
have appeared they We're promptly met
by poisonous applications. A. u rule
tho boll-worm has bcen more abundant
than usual and has not had treatment
sufficiently prompt. The average con-
dirion for the whole field, which was 81
per cent. in the preceding report, II re-
duccd 10 S2li per cent, though Texss is
the only State below III II average. The
only years Of the preceding ten having
lower averages in September were 1874.
which was 81 points lower, ana IN lssl,
when the average was only 40 per cent,
aud last year. when it was only "A Per
cent. The weather for the next three
months may modify for the better or
worse. The actual result Of the harvest

lima, 81; Georgia, s6; Florida, 81; Ala
bama, 81; Mississippi, 81; Louisiana, NJ;
Texas, ~; Arkansas, SO; Tennessee, ~.
The y oduct of winter wheat is
above the average. There il generally a
good quality except where it was In
jured by sprouting in tho shock. Tho
rate of Weld IL not far from the average
OF IL bushels per acre. The results of
tho harvest ~ spring wheat are not vet
complete and the product cannot be
precisely Indicated. 1t il probably re-
ported in the condition of the crop al
ready harvested and threshed. That
aggregate will vary little from Jo0,OO0.OO
bushels. The reports Of much higher
figures are sensational and misleading
and utterly unworthy of credcnce. Tho
general average of the condition when
harvested is %, against - tor last year..
The condition is almost with that re-
ported in Septemhe:, 1870. The census
report, which yielded X bushels per

Minncsots, Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Oregon. These, with
some of minor production, show
figures higher than tho gen
eral average, Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas standing at IS;

1881. 1t promises to produce an average
Weld of % bushels for the entire breadth

will make the largest aggregate genor-
ally ever reported in the history Of the
crop. The oat crop will average ayleld
per acre about the same rs corn and
makes the aggregate exceeding $4,000
OUO bushels. Its condition, when har-
vested was 500, which is lower than for
two previous wears, but higher than for
prior wears since 1878. The barley aver
age is ~, against 100 last year and 80 in lSS2
II will average about - bushels per

and for buckwheat 93, which indicates "a
medium crop, about II bushels per acre.
The condition of potatoes average 81,

There is n large range of the condition.,
running down to 81 in Ohio, while 1t ~

is a tin. crop in West Mississippi. The

ment cables to day as y result OF stalistl-
cal Investigations, that the year will not
be in superbundance. That European
wheat, though above the average i'll pro-
duct will be less than the aggregate OF
l862. European importing countries
need 26O, NN,6O bushels above the pro-
ductiOn. European countries exporting
can supply, s',tn,0o, leaving is,oo,oo?
bushels to be obtained from other conti-
nents. Stocks are not excessive. There
Is an increased consumption OF wheat
and Il is the general opinion that tho
lowest prices have been reached. Pota
toes and rice are less abundant than las
year. -.
