'I P There is little change to b? ii noted in the condition of cotton in n the fields, except that reports t agree as to the unusual rapidity g with which it is opening, being p picked ami marketed. The extent of damage to cotton by the f Texas storm has not been definitely j ascertained, nor is it I'kely that it y will be as long as the impression can be fostered that it was enough t to reduce the yield in that State by hundreds of thousauda of c bales. ^ Insects continue to damage the crop iu Louisiana and Texas. A > summary of the yield is that the J a Atlantic States are very short; the n.. if ? _:ii ?? * wiiii uuiim ttiii lunivo nwurI \ , <i average crops, while weil or the j Mississippi the indicated yields1 ^ are the best ever known except for Arkansas which will make c less than an average crop In North Carolina many cor- , (I respondents say that cotton is ^ three-fourths open, some that all . is open, and as picking is progressing rapidly everywhere, the outlook is that the entire crop will ^ he gathered by the end tf Oetoher, if not earlier. ^ In South Carolina cotton conP tinues to open rapidly, aud nearly . all is now open, hut the rains will j tend to check premature opening, ^ and to increase the ?ize of itmna- . 11 . ture holla. In places the plants e ate again blooming, and some report a small top crop, tint generally the top crop is unpromising. | The weather favored rapid pick- ^ ing, and about half the crop is ^ gathered. The rains damaged opened eottoo aligbtly. Corresp<indents estimate the yield this year at al>out half an avarage ? crop. Sea island shown alight ' improvement, but ia blooming to the tot) and the nlants are ( dwarfed. In Georgia the protracted ; drought w an broken on the 13th : ami 14th hy general, and in both | ^ cases heavy rains, which came too i( late to bo of benefit to cotton or ; c , corn, both of which are too far * a<lvance<l to be improved. Cotton, J' which is mostly open in the mid- i' die and southern counties, has: been damaged considerably in 11 some sections. Most of the week i ' picking progressed uninterrupted- I ly and large quantities of the j ' staple were picked and marketed. . 4 There are some complaints of boll worms. In the middle and south I ern divisions about all the cotton p is picked. I In Florida showers retarded H cotton picking, having, and har < vesting corn, praticulnrlv inj* western counties. The yield of ' cotton shr>wR no favorable change, ji and the crop will be short as j previously indicated. . .! 111 Aimmma excessive rain* in tho southern, central and north!' 1 central portions damaged cotton ! very nuioh. The bulk of the colton is open and about one half of r it has been picked. The crop is i being marketed rapidly. Previous jj estimates of light yields are co?- , firmed as picking progresses. In Mississippi thero has been j no improvement in tho condition i of cotton. Kust and boll worms 1 are still doing considerable damage in some localities. I'pland cotton is nearly all open and the top crop will be very short. The weather ha*generally been favorable for picking and as it progresses more evidence of the shortage in the cotton yield appears. In Louisiana cotton was not in- i jured to any great extent by the torm, as the very hi<?h winds nd excessive rains did not ex* snd over the portions of the tate where that staple is the prill lpal crop. On the contrary, as efore stated, droughty condU ions prevail over northern Louis inn and rain is needed in many >cnlities io tho central parishes, 'he oldest cotton has stopped rowing and is shedding and dryn# np, but young cotton is still making fruit and reports inificate hat a better feeling exists regirding the final output. Cotton licking is in rapid progress. In Tennessee cotton is opening ast and picking ia now in full irogresa; the crop prouiisea to ie quite short. In Texaa fair and favorable reather now prevails, brt cotton raa ba lly damaged by the tropial storm during the 8th and 9th. 'he arop was completely destroy-* d in the path of the storm in the' outh portion, and it waa dam god in tho central and northern (ortions. The planta were blown lown; much cotton blown out rehiring the quantity ani staining nd otherwise damaging the I tuple. Outside of the storm area otton is doing very well, except hat worms nod other posts aro! j loing damage iu some localities. ! ( Peking is being rushed but labor s scarce in some localities. 1 In Arkansas cotton is opening ' apidly under the influence of the |1 mt and dry weither which, how-|J ver, has now given way to more I. avorable conditions, and the 11 ;reater part of .the crop is open i n some localities. l'icking is J irogressing favorably in some i realities, while in others it is be-! ng delayed by a scarcity of pick- j rs. In Oklahoma and Indian Terri < nry cotton picking progressed,1 nder favorable conditions, and ! ' ' be crop ia heing generally mar 11 eted: it has ope1 ed up rapidly; j1 ields continue fairly good. 1 In Missouri cotton m the southeastern counties is opening rap- i 1 illy and picking is progressing 1 rell.
