In contrast 70 recent reports, which
have been altogether favorable. Boil,
worms are at work over nearly the en-
tire state, while high temperatures and
strong winds did some damage 10 the
extreme western COUNTIES. The promise
for q large yield has as yet, however,
been but little impaired. First bales

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Rains fell generrlly over the state at
a most. opportune time. Some sections
report that shedding had been heavy
preceding the rain, but prospects arc
much improved now, and, with late
frost, indications are for . good crop.
Very little cotton IL opening.
TEXAS.
Tine rainfall during the week, except
In tho territory south and east Of San
Antonio, was light and Of little conse-
quence TO the cotton crop. In southern
and south central Texas bolls ars open
ing very fast, and correspondents state
that the bulk Of the crop will have been
picked there in two or three weeks.
Western Texas has almost a complete
crep failure. Central and northern
counties expect a better crop than last
year. Rain would be helpful probably
throughout the northern half OF the
state.
TENNESSEE.
Rain fell 10 most places and put the
cotton crop in much better condition. 1t
had begun to shed just before the
rains. A few districts got very light
showers, however, and farther and
more general rain is needed. Indications
are that picking will not become gem
sral for three weeks.

horses would have been drowned.
