For the week ending Monday. June

| GENERA LCoNDITIONS. Generally favorable conditions pre- vailed. the temperatures averaging 1 nearly normal. with several hot days during the latter part of the week when day temperatures ranged well uI in the nineties; showers were fairly | general in Northern. Eastern and Mid dle Counties on the 18th. l4th and 18th, being, as rule. beneficial. and not re- tarding wofk to any great extent: very l little rain fell in Southern Counties. Practically all cotton has been chop l ped, and. while 1t Is of irregular size, varying from few inches to knee high 1t Is more promising than at any time this season. though its condition is not yet satisfactory; grass is still trouble ome in many fields, though being clean ed out rapidly: squares are forming quite generally, but no blooms are re- ported as yet. Corn is generally clean and healthy. and promising. though the late planted is of irregular size: how ever, as whole this staple averages about four feet high. with nearly all of the early planted in tassel, and some silking; damage by worms is now com parativefy slight. The greater portion of the wheat has been harvested. and, while none has been threshed, and some rust is reported, it indicaes a fairly good yield; oats are still being harvested. with a fairly good yield; cane. peanuts, sweet potatoes, gardens, melons and all minor crops continue promising. with prospects bright for a good first cutting of hay: grapes con- tinue we'll fruited; pears and plums have shed considerably, but now prom ise q mediumly good yield; peaches are being shipped in increasing quantities, with the crop as a whole in good con- dition. and indicating a farly good yield
