THE COTTON CROP.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July THE regular
monthly crop report for the Memphis dis
trict, which embraces west Tennessee,
north Mississippi, north Arkansas and
north Alabama, to be published tomorrow
by Hill, Fontaine & Co., will say:
The weather during June was unfavor-
able to cotton on account of too much rain,
and the complaint is general throughout
the district of foul crops, but at the same
time it is expressed that with clearing
weather fields will be cleaned and no
material damage will have been sustained.
There is very little difference in the gen
eral condition of the cotton crop now com =
pared with last year at this period.
Stands are reported good in the main, and
notwithstanding the season is about two
weeks late, the plant is beginning to bloom
and is forming well.
Since these responses were sent in the
weather has settled and great progress has
no doubt been made by planters in clean
ing their grassy crops. The abandonment
of lands that were originally planted in
cotton is SO very small that it viii not
affect the estimate we have previously
published of the increased acreage in this
district.
Corn is reported in splendid condition.
and the outlook for very large yield was
never more bright or promising.
