That is I ho (Soneral Concensus
nl the Opinions.
Over the eastern portions of
the be't there has been continued
deterioration during the past
week, with slight improvement
in the western portions on late
cotton, which was greatly benefited
by the rains of the week,
but all agree that it will require
F. lat? fall tn mtitnrp iiiu rncotit
fruitage. The logical deduction
from this is that it is impossible
at this time to make even an accurate
approximation of the yield
thaf has good Pa?oR in fact.
Gaecset-. as to yield can be made
before the crop is planted in the
spring that may prove to be
nearly correct. Picking made
rapid progress in the Atlantic
Stutep but was delayed in the
Centiul and western districts by
w~t weather that stained some
open cotton. Damage by insects
is on the decrease in Texas. The
size of tho top crop ip as yet 11 n
certain, but the indications are
to some top crop in everj' State
except perhaps Alabama, where
the crop atTa whole is the poorest
in many yean. Frost deferred
until aft.^r the middle of Movent
her will materially iucrtutiu U<t
yield horn the top crop, whereas
an cart;, irost wiil ruin practically
ali of it. < >ne conclusion seems
to be certain at this time that
the croj at its worst will bo nearly
if not quite as lar*re as it was
last ve. (.
Jn North Carolina cotton continues
to pen rapidly despite
the cool weather and there is indication
of much premature opening
on account of rust ; many
correspondents report the crop
nearly all open, and from one
half to two-thirds of picked ont;
estimate* of yield range from
one-half to two-thirds of an aver
age crop cool nights have injur
ed cotton, and conditions other
wise were not conductive to
m* " ^owth or maturity of top crop.
In South Corolina reports on
cotton, are very full this week,
and cover every section of the
State, and they confirm previous
estimates of a comparatively
short crop. It appears that the
promising condition near the
Tl*fmy r*- rp close
of June was irreparably in- i
jured by the hot and dry weather
from June 28rh to July 10th,
which subsequently caused the i
plants to sued, rust and blight
and to atop growing, and while
eonie fields in favorable localities
put on new growth late in
August that has since bloomed
' and fruited, the majority of
| plants did not do well during Aug i
i ust, and most of them apparentj
ly died Ootton is from two thirds
| to four fifths open,and much of
it has been picked; indeed some i
fields have already boon abandon j
led, but in a uuuibar of counties
I pickers are scareo and there a i
i smaller percentage of the crop 11
I has been gathered. The yields i
are estimated below last yoar'i '
by a majority of the correspond I
ents, although in live counties h

now deteriorating; late j
planted cotton shows more vitality.
hut its improvements will not
change the prospects of p. phorf 1
crop. Cotton picking was prac
i tieally abandoned over a large
section of the cotton belt.
In Alnhatr.H recent reports i
'show that the frost of the l.'lrh
and 14th did some slight damage ;
to cotton and rnn.or crops in a .

I Cotton as a whole, has deterio-l

I new growth has started in some

places, it is still blooming, hutli
1 the general opinion is that the
!reoent fruitage will never rna- <

; to retard maturing <?f the old
j bolls ; cotton in nearly all open : ,

1 the Jweeh, with this week nearly

damaging in Rome fields, and
there is no ''top crop" worliy of
note; the lint still averages very
short, requiring decidedly more
than the average of seed to g;t\ ?
bale. It is now thought that J
nearly, if not quite all, the cotton (
will be picked by Oct. 10.
In Mississippi cotton picking
progressed rapidly .tinder favorable
condition! the first of the
week.but during the latter part*'
was interrupted in ^rtany lncali
ties by rain and damp foggy
mornings, however, picking i?j
generally well advanced and :s
more ihnu halFcompleted in some
sections. Tho heavy wind and
ram storm in the sou'hwestern
Bounties wus very damaging to
open cotton but el.*e*heru ihe

generally short, especially in the
?aatern and southern counties,
where raoro need cotton is required
to give a bale than usual.
Many correspondents report no
top crop, but a few state that
with *uvorable conditions a light
top crop may be matured.
In Louisiana there lias been no
imjirov? went in the col'on crop

received show a deterioration in
jevoral places. % ileavv rain and

;>pen cotton was blown out and
beaten into the dirt and that not
blown out was stained. Cotton
is nearly ail open, but picking
lias progressed slowly. The rains
retarded work, and in places the
pickers are scarce. In places,
however, picking is well advanced
There appears to ho very little
prospect tor a top crop. Worms
are damaging the crop in a tew
places. The yield will he light
in many localises, ami will he
below an average .generally.
In Tennessee cotton isopeningi
rapidly in some places, in others!
in western counties slowly, and
picking has been keeping/well
advanced ; in the middle counties
the crop is reported short ; with
littlo or no top crop.
In Texas all reports received
indicate but little change in the
ire n era I condition of cotton, and
prospoct>? tor this crop continue
poor. Considerable picking was
[lone, although in many localities
Ibis work was interrupted hv wet
weather. I he number of uban
loned fields are daily increasing!
iiul the yields in all cases fully i
justify the previous low estimates. j
While the cool weather during;
the latter portion of last, and the
firot of tiiiH week has not damaged
the cotton crop as a whole
to any appreciable extent, it has
lumewhat retarded the opening;

*nd unless the occuirence of frost t
is prolonged much later than usual
it will !e?*"en the chances for
the maturing of the late crop
[.ate cotton has been benefited
by the rains. The heavy rains
in many localities damaged to a
considerable extent open cotton. ,
l'here is Jess complaint of shedlirig.
The damage from worms
in northern sections has practi-j
sally ceased and this insect is
Duly reported troin widely sepa-j
