n. G. CROPS GOOD.
New York Her2ld.)

The Herald's Raleigh despatch to day
gives some important and suggestive re-
turns from the Agricultural Department
of North Carolina. These returns, based
on reports from thousand correspond
ents in the State, show that the pe1cent-
ages of condition are 90 for rice, 80 for
tobacco, 90 for corn and lO2 for cotton.
AS the crop outlook in North Carolina
gives probably fair idea of the con
ditions in all the South Atlantic States
these official returns are significant. The
rainfall Of the last six weeks has been
more than the planter would covet. But
the cotton has not been hurt and Us
average is remarkably high.
It is impossible, however, to tell what
effect the weather of the next three Or
four weeks may have upon cotton. SO
far this season the South Atlantic sea-
board has not been invaded by any
tropical storm. But the period when
hurricanes from the West Indies are to
be expected is now at hand, and if they
are severe in the States the crop outlook
may soon be seriously modified.
The Harvest Outlook.
The following was the dispatch sent tc
the Herald:
RALEIGH, Aug. 25, 1890-The Agri
cultural Department this evening com
pleted the August crop report, which i
based on returns from a thousand cor
respondents. The standard is 100, anc
the percentages of condition are as fol
lows: Rice, 90; corn, 90; cotton, 1902; to
bacco, 95; sweet potatoes, 50; peanuts
9S. Rains have not hurt cotton, nor re
duced it's remarkably high condition.

WHY Is It So.

Our merchants, warehouse and
shipping agents tell us, they have oD
hand large quantities of rice and other
produce which they cannot and Will not
forward to market, during the crisis in
monetary affairs. When the panic
struck Wall street in New York, 1t was
said that it would not reach New Or
leans, as our Banks and merchants were
in no way involved. But few days
served to destroy the favorable and
fiattering belief created by those con-
fident assurances. The quoted prices
of our productions showed such ma
terial declension, that producers here
abouts decline to forward the fruits OF
the years industry and hard toll. Lately
the announcement came that, the great
house of A. g. V. Meyers Of New Or
leans, had been compelled to make a
surrender, with liabilities below fifty
per cent Of their assets. This firm was,
land long since has been) considered as
safe as any house in New Orleans. II
had given we'll nigh universal satisfac-
ton. Its business extended over d
large area, and it's credit was believed
to sustain it, high above the reach OF
ordinary financial stringency. We hope
to see it resume business, and from
the showing it is reported to make OF
it's assets and liabilities, and knowing
the liberality of the business men Of
New Orleans-as we know it, we con
tidently believe it will.
