DlXIE'S LONG DROUGHT
COTTON REPORTED IRRETRIEV.
ABLY INJURED.

The Reduction Around Atlanta Estf-
mated at 40 per cent.-Many Factories
Closed at Petersburg, Va.-One of the
Signal Officers Whistling mp a Rain.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2I.-An officer OF
the Signal Service said relative TO the long
continued drought, that during September
1t existed i'll all sections east Of the Mis-
sissippi valley and in Texas. General
rains have fallen during October in Ten
nessee, the Ohio valley and Lake region.
but the drought has continued in the
Middle Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf
States. The little rain that has fallen has
not been enough to do any good to crops
in these sections. AT Atlanta. ca.
rain has not fallen for over two months.
and it is estimated that the cettOn cron
in that vicinity will fall short 40 per cent.
Near Shreveport it is estimated that the
cotton crop will be only two-thirds OF am
average. In the vicinity of Petersburg,
va, 1t has become necessary to close fac
tories on account of a scarcity of water.
The ofilcer reports indications of light
rain in this vicinity soon, and saws that
there is heavy rain storm in the Lake
regions. There has been no rain of
consequence in or about Washington for
nearly three months. Shade trees along
the streets and in the parks are showing
the effects of the long drought. The grass
in many places is dead, and in several in
stances has burned, when accidentally
fired, like the grass Of prairies.
THE DROUGHT AT NORFOLK.
NORFOLK, VA, Oct. 21.-No rain Of con-
sequence has fallen in this section of the
state since the middle OF August, and
farming and trucking interests have suf.
fered severely. Rain now would be of
little use, except to avert water famine.
The earth is literally parched and slight
forest fires have occurred along the lines
Of the railroads. but no serious losses thus
far are reported.
