CROP CONDITIONS.

Washington, Sept. 7.-The weather bu- reau in its report of crop conditions for the week ending at a. m, Sept. 6, says:
 In the cerlral valleys and southern states the week has not been favorable owing to general absence of rain and prevalence of high temperatures. Hot drying winds have prevailed in Kan sas and in the states of the lower Ms souri and the central Misciss valleys and rain unusually heavy has fallen in Oregon and Washington Interfering with harvesting and thrsshing in those states, but caused no seriouss injury to grain
 Corn has been unfavorably affected by the weather conditions of the past week in the principal corn producing stales. High temrerature and afbsence of much needed rain have checked the growth of the late crop and caused pre- mature ripening, while injurious rains have occurred i'm the states of the lower Mississippi valley
 In Iowa and Missouri much corn is spoiled and will be cut :or fodder. The conditions, however, have been more favorable to corn in the lake region, upper Ohio valley and New England, and in the middle Atlantic states the crop is generally dong we'll.
 The general condition of cotton is less favorable than in the previous week, and over portions of the middle and eastern sections of the cotton belt there has been marked deterioration. Absence of rain has caused it to open rapidly and to some extent prematurely.
 Tn cOl1th and southwestern Tpxac showers have improved late cotton and the top crop, but over the northern DOT ton of the state and over the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt the conditions have been unfavorable except for picking, which has progre ssed rapidly.
 The bulk of the tobacco crop has been cut and housed generally in good condi- tion, except in Kentucky and Tennes- see, where the crop promises to be short, particularly in the first named state

 Bessemer, Sept. 7.-Registrars Leader and Woods are again in jail.
