MEMPHIS, TENN, Sept. 5.-Tho cotton
crop report for the Memphis district, en-
braoing west Tennessee, north Arkansas,
north Mississippi, and north Alabama, to
be published tomorrow by Messrs Hill,
Fontaine & Co., will say "Tho report
docs not sustain the favorable prospects
Of month ago. Quite change for tho
worse has taken Place since our report
for July was published. Nearly all our
31S correspondents report damage to the
growing cotton plant from drouth. she'd
ding rust. and worms. The weather
during August in the main was too dry.
Complaint is still general of prevailing
drouth. The latoness of the planting
season, coupled with tho unprecedented
backwardnes3 Of the crop, has
subjected the plant to moro than
its common dangers. The dry weather
continues every day TO add to tho injury
which tho plant is sustaining by shedding
its squares and blooms Cotton Is not
ffuiting well, and it's present condition
throughout the district is anything but
satisfactory. Picking has scarcely com
menced, but will become general through
out the district between Sept. 25 and
Oct o. The greatest danger now to be
feared Is the appearance of frost at an
early date. and all estimates of the pros
poctlve yield In the district are only
predictions based upon either early or
late frost. Oct. 10 is the average date of
the appearance offrost. aud the hope and
salvation Of the planters throughout the
district is that it will come late. In this
event the yield IN the Memphis district
will bo an average one and will perhaps
exceed last years. But should frost ap-
pear earlier than Oct. "a, the present
prospective yield will bo reduced not less
than 10 or 20 per cont.
Corn Is more promising, and the yield
will DO ample to supply the full needs of
the district.
