The Growing Crop-Under the continu-
ance of very favorable weather the crop
has improved considerably in some dis
tricts, however, more than In others.
Much of the eary-planted tobacco is now
being housed. and cutting = progressing
rapidly. The late paintings I'm the south
ern country. hitherto small and Irregular,
have improved greatly, and in the event
Of long-delayed frost there is reason TO
expect a fairly good outcome Of that
part of the late-plsntod portion OF the
crop which was put IN the ground, al
though such was nothing like as large as
was Intended. Very cool nights this week
have made growers somewhat apprehen-
slve OF early frosts.
