from South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Mississippi, In
Arkansas the crop has stood the
month well, and Notwithstanding the
unfayorable reports from portions of
Texas, the general condition of cotton
in that state is promising. Picking
has been retarded by rain i'll portions
of Texas. but III Florida the weather
has been especially favorable for Sc
curing the crop. Late corn has inn
proved III portions of Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Ohio, and more enCourag-

greatly needed in these states. To-
bacyo has improved in Maryland and
