The editor of thd Athens Watchman, from personal observation along the line of railroad from Athens to Atlanta, says : Wheat looks promising all along the entire route. Cotton and com are yet quite small, but look well atnl are worked out clean. The L iGrange Reporter says : Col. Thomas C. Miller, our Slireitf. informs us that in the last ten days he lias made a business tour of our comity, and the crops generally look better than he lias seen them for fen years. Corn and cot ton is generally up and looks well.— More corn lias* been planted this year than in ten years. The Atlanta Sun lias this: The crops in the region of Cartersville and Rome, we learn, are far more than usually promising, although rain is much need ed. Wheat lias a good stand, is healthy and heavy. Corn and cotton are in spendid condition. There is a large in crease of acreage in clover, which is verv rank and of course beautiful. The fruit prospect is very fine. The Americus Republican says : Notwithstanding the remarkably dry’ weather, we are pleased to find in our journey through the county the com and cotton crop looking very flattering. The farms are generallvin very fine con dition, and more energy displayed by the farming community than heretofore. If the seasons shall be propitious we apprehend a heavy crop of cereals and cotton in this section. BANNER OF THE SOUTH AND PLANTERS’ JOURNAL. STRENGTH. KILLED. WOUNDED. MISSING. TOTAL. rank. name. The Monroe Advertiser says : Another week has passed without rain, and the complainings of our planting friends have consequently increased. Some cotton lias been “chopped out,” and a stand obtained, but there are many fields in which the plant has not made its appearance. Com is promising fair; oats poor ; wheat tolerable. We have statements from some quarters that the ybung fruit is dropping from the trees to a much greater extent than usual, but the general opinion is that an average crop will ripen. A Meriwether county correspondent of the News writes as follows of the crop prospects in that county: The com crop is quite promising and most of it has had a good plowing and a con siderable part hoed over. The cotton has come up very prettily, but owing to the dry weather and large amount of manures used—to borrow a more forci ble than elegant expression—it is “ pos sum eared.” The wheat is looking very fine, and if the rust or fly does not strike it, will make a handsome yield. The oat crop is not so good as could be wished for, but with good seasons would come out wonderfully. The West Point News says : The dry j weather which is now prevailing has i caused the soil to bake on all of true j bottom planted before the cessation of the rains—and consequently poor stands j have resulted; but that part planted im mediately after the rains and in time | for the showers that succeeded them has j secured fine stands and the young plants is doing well. We think though, as a whole, that the dry weather is now in juring the crops. Com, where it has been properly’ worked, is doing well. We will have in all probability a dry Spring from now on, and if we can have a wet Summer splendid crops will be made. The Madison Appeal, of Friday, says: During this week we have been alflicted with hot and dry weather. Rain is much needed, and unless we can have some our early gardens will prove a failure. Wheat is reported as suffering from the drouth, and com not growing. Rut our planters are able to clear their com lands and have them in fine con dition for the rain when it does come. Our planters do, not consider their cot ton prospects very flattering. The cold first retarded ilie coming up, and then the dry weather caused much to die ; so but few have anything like a stand, and not one, that we have heard of, claims even a tolerable stand on his en tire crop. The Sandersville Georgian says : A drouth has been prevailing in this county for some weeks past, which at present presages serious damage to the planting interest. A great deal of cotton has at present been planted and will not come up without rain. A great deal has been planted some weeks since that has ' not come up for want of moisture. In some portions of the county it is so dry’ j that the com, young as it is, is twisting in the fields at mid-day. The gardens ( REMARKS. are suffering very much; the vegetables have stopped growing and are withering away. From every quarter we hear complaints, and taking this in connec tion with the late planting, incurred by the want of good cotton seed, the pros pect of the future of the cotton crop is not very encouraging. DRY GOODS IN NEW YORK. Decline In Prints—“ Dolly Vartlens” Playing Out. The New York Independent reports the dry goods market for the week as follows : The last week lias been one of the dullest that has been experienced since the commencement of the season, so far as sales from first hands are con sidered, and the present one does not promise to be much better. No impor tant changes in prices have been effect ed ; but the market has a declining tend ency in every department of domestic goods, both of woolen and cotton tex tures. The jobbers are doing a fair business in the near by trade ; but they are not under the necessity of replenish ing their stock except to a small extent. The same remarks will apply to foreign goods, although in certain descriptions of fancy fabrics, dress goods, and silks, there is still an active demand. The special fact in the business of the pres ent is theenormous value of our imports, which since July, 1871, exceed by about two millions of dollars the largest sum of any previous year; the amount im ported this year being $124,000,000, 5 against $122,000,000 in the same time in 1865; the next largest amount being in 1870-1, $110,500,000. But the impor tations of 1865 were succeeded the next year by a diminution of $29,200,000. The stock of goods in bonded warehouses has increased duringthe vear about $250,000. The increase is mostly in silks and wool ens. In domestic cotton there is a steadily increasing stock in the hands of agents, and it is to be presumed that any attempt to buy largely would lead to a concession of prices ; yet none have been made, or, at least, reported. Un bleached sheetings and shirtings are not by any means in good demand, and the stock of makes is increasing in the hands of the manufacturers’ agents. The lighter weights have been more in quired for, and are more salable at quo tations, which are without noticeable change. Bleached sheetings and shirt ings of all grades and makes are dull and prices are tending to a lower level, but without any positive change of quotations. In printing cloths there is, at last, an actual excess of supply over the demand, and prices are a shade low er. Sales of 64 standards are reported at B£c. for immediate delivery, and or ders for future delivery are solicited at Bic. Prints are in diminished demand, even for “Dolly Vardans,” which are beginning to be regarded as common and played out. They have made their sensation, and the market is well sup plied with the various styles. Prices are steady, but a shade less firm. Ging hams are selling less freely.
