The lone of this week's reports from the different states in the cotton belt are indicative of a somewhat improved condition ot the late crop, although tar from j nopeim oi a lull crop. To what extent the crop was hurt during Augusi, and to what extent it has since recovered from its injury are both problematical to a greater extent than the ability of any one, however expert, lodefine, and the final outcome will be uncertain to a greater extent than usual until the last bale ol the year has been counted. This much is certain that there was an unusually large .June and July fruitage which is now opening, and being picked, but the subsequent fruitage is the perplexing question. Judging by the effects of the weather during August on tiie plants, it can safely be said that reports of only half to two-thirds of a crop are both exaggerated, and the only uncertainty now is whether the crop will be the largest ever grown or about equal m to last year's. The latter seems now to be the most probable. In many localities there will be a good top crop, although reports indicate the contrary, but in past veartf ttlA l>ru Ima haan t tm dumu ^ ?...r o Di.iin, of no top crop, and despite the cry a top crop did develop, mature and was gathered. Any estimate of this yenr's erop under 10,500,000 bales should be dis credited, whether snch emanate from the government bureau or be issued by cotton firms that try to influence prices for their own selfish purposes. 9 In North Carolina frujiient showers occurred during the past i week, chiefly on the 3d and 4th. which gave a fairly abundant amount of moisture along the northern tier of counties, but w.-rtr vivv jrregniar.y ajfeirinuted over the centra) ami tout hern portions cf tho stale. (Jotton haF not improved and will be lai I abort of an average crop; the bolls have completed their growth and are opening very last, some prematurely on account ol rust which is very widespread. Pick ing cotton is now very general and is advancing more rapidly. Late planted cotton is still green and will give a small top crop. In South Carolina cotton opened rapidly, in places prematurely, during the week, and nearly all the reports indicate that from one-half to two-thirds of the bolls are now open. Picking made rapid progress, but failed to keep pace with the opening. Pickers are scarce in a few counties There is a reiteration of former complaints of the prevalence and harmful effect of rust and blight, causing the plants to die, making it evident now that there will he but a small top crop, and only in favored localities where plants are tree from rust and havo cou linued to bloom and fruit. There is an almost unanimous express ion by reporters, that the crop will be below average in yield, although a few correspondents state that the yield will equal or exceed last year's. Some open cotton was stained bv rain, although it is generally being gathered in fine condition. Sea island cotton is well fruited, but the prospect for a top crop is poor. It is opening, and some has been picked and marketed. t.. - iii vti'orgia couon continues opening rapidly. The recent rains have been of very little benefit, as plants in many fields were beyond recovery. In sections where the weather of the week was generally fair picking was rushed and is well advanced many fields being nearly cleaned. In other districts picking was retarded by the rains and the staple was discolored. There is complaint of scarcity of labor in numerous counties. New blooms are scarce except here and there on bottom lands, and no top crop is indicated. Little or no improvement in the general condi lion ot the crop occurred during the week. In a few Reel ions the outlook is regarded as the poorest in several years, and as a rule, a yield considerably below average is anticipated. In Florida earl}' cotton has reached its best growth, and the plants are now doing very little. The bulk of the crop is open, and is being picked very rapidly. Late cotton is improved some what and is beginning to open. Reports indicate, however, that all of the fruit will n..t mature. Crop estimates range from one halt to ftufi.lliirrto " > ? v w vm mi n vri crop. In Alabama rains, while favorable for minor crops and some late corn, were too late for cotton and the greater portion of the corn crop. Cotton, as a whole, continues in very poor condition, the greater portion of it has! stopped fruiting, with the bulk TV. A N|1?1 IHsit IIM-llf.

The late cro| and second growth show sonn improvement since the rains The clear, cool days of the latte part of the week wore very favor able for gathering the crop am much progress was made, thougl in some sections the work is re aided because of the scarcity o [tickers. j In Louisiana there has beei very little change in the conditio of the cotton crop since the las report.

The crop has openei rapidly and in some places prema turely. Picking lias progressei rapidly in some sections, whih in others the progress has beei slow. Pickers are scarce in som< parts of the State. The bulk o early cotton is open, but picking is not keeping pace with tlx Opening. While showers havi retarded picking in some place and damaged open cotton, tin week's whether as a whole ha been favorable for harvesting tlie crop. The yield is irregular generally below an average, am several correspondents state tha not more than half a crop can b< expected. In Tennessee cotton is opening slowly, and picking is becominj general ; the crop will probably be below the average in yield | rust has been generally preva ! lent. In Texas, with the exceptioi of the Panhandle, the northeast em and extreme southern conn tics, rains were general in nearl; all parts of the State. Tin amount of rainfall varied Iron inappieciable amounts in the ex treme southern portion ot tin State to over 4 inches in the mid die lirazos valley. The rains o the past week have been the firs to fall of any consequence sine* the last decade of duly, and ii many sections of the State breal a drought ol nearly five weeks duration. The report as to tin ellVct ol Ihti rnins ol I he week 01 llio eottoi, plant nr-i not of oik opinion. A majority ol the eor respondents state ili^' ;? comiil er.thie portion ol llio lull-planltM t 1 cotton will be materially benefitt ted, that the plant will now take . on blooniH, and that the young \> bolls will be manured, which - otherwise would not. Against the opinion of the majority ol the I reporters to the effect that the v rains were beneficial, must be s placed the reports ol dainago to the staple by wind and rain, the p increased ravages of the boll l> worms and weevil, and the re tarda! ion ol picking. The rains s were ol little or no benefit to e early planted cotton. The boll p weevil continue to be very nur merous in (lie area infested by s insect, l>oll worms are decreasing in numbers, and reports ol p this pest are few, and these - are sporadic. Picking has been y retarded in many sections by the n frequent showers, but in the e greater portion of the State is II under lull headway and well al o vancd for ibis date. In many ii sections of the southern portion s of the State picking is practically - finished. All reports confirm the statements previously made as to - the yield?i. e., that it will be e much short ot an average. p In Arkansas scattered showers r occurred during the week, but as . a rule were light. Lower temr pcratures prevailed, some nights - being quite cool. Cotton has de 1 teriorated in all sections, owing i to damage by drought, rust and - boll worms, though there are f some localities in the northern part of the State where rains have 1 been ample and damage by ini sects slight. In these favored loI calities the crop ranges trom lair s to excellent, but elsewhere the s indications point to from half to t two thirds the average yield. It - is opening rarpidly and picking i6 r becoming more general, but is 1 being delayed in some sections on - account ot scarcity of labor. In 1 the central and southwest sec e tions upland cotton is nearly all i open and picking is being pushed. b In Oklahoma and Indian Terf ritorv the deterioration in the j condition of cotton was stopped, B and some immovement caused X " p by the cooler, showery weather; s boll worms are still causing dam j age; picking is in general prog res?, with yields ranging from good to very poor in quantity * and quality.
