GOOD WEATHER FOR CROPS.
Slight Damage from Wind and Raj
in Few Sections.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The crop bull
letin issued by the signal office to-day says:
Reports from the New England, Middle
and South Atlantic States, the districts
north of the Ohio river, and from Kansas,
Missouri and Southern Nebraska, in
dicate favorable weather in those
sections during the past week,
and generally Improved conditions of
the crops, especially of corn, although some
damage from wind and rain is reported
from sections of Ohio and Missouri
Excessive rainfall and cool weather in
Minnesota and Northern Nebraska are re-
ported as retarding the growth of crops
and delaying the harvest.
The rainfall during the week in the cotton
and tobacco regions of the lower Missis-
sippi valley was not sufficient to remove the
indications of drought previously reported
from that section, as crops are sLill suffer
ing from want of rain.
Light frosts occurred in Northwestern
Minnesota and Michigan on Friday, but no
damage is reported.
