We copy from the New York World some interesting statements concerning the crops ol the country. Want of space prevents our copying in full the very satisfactory and ex plicit reports alluded to by the World: The W orld this morning lays he fore its renders the fullest and most impartial account yet given ta the public of the condition and outlook of the crops at rhis time in all parts of (he United Slates. '1 hese accounts present a living panoramic view of those great agricultural interests wlrcli underlie the whole fabric of our national activity and industry Men of all callings and of all stations it! life and directly concerned to know the truth, the w hole truth and noth ing but the truth in regard to these gieat interests. By the crops of the United States not only all the calcu lations of lliu great world ol business men, but tbo incomes of investors, ns well as the operations of the rela tively small world of speculators all over 1 l>e union, must be fundament ally effected, and it is of the first im port Slice, therefore, that clear, full, and above all accurate statements tip on this subject should ho put as the World now puts them wHiin reach of all ola-ses of the community. We are told that “all signs fail in i dry weather.” As the weather of this season lias been anything but dry, we may trust the signs which indi cate that the quantity of exportable products garnered in the United Stales iii 1882 will be greatly in ex cess of the yield of last rear. The crop advices which we lay before our readers to day arc in some respects phenomenal. The acreage of nearly all the great products of the country, il will l>.; seen, has been largely in crease, and in almost all parts of the country increased harvest are antici pated. Though the great cotton sta pie has suffered in the region of the Mississippi from tremendous floods, the high prices for plantation supplies and ilafinury weather in the month of May, the prospects in the gulf states are so excellent ns to warrant the an ticipation of a larger total yield than that of lust year. Equally favorably, in spite of circumstances as untoward, is the out lock for another great arti cle of export— tobacco. Pasturage promises so well that there seems to Ite no reason to expect any falling off in the supply of beet cattle, which of ’•** w ..<*• K>morns* ° source of our agricultural wealth, and which under the operation of a more rational fiscal system must eventually play a part in the schedule of our na tional resources, the importance of which the most sanguine bc’iever in “manifest, destiny” cannot easily over estimaio. The same thing is true o( the pork and lard yield of the year, and though the wool clip is likely to be Inter than itstia', the genual yield is expected to ho greater than that of last year. This intelligence is of spe cial value, ns there is now a very ur gent demand tor tiiis great staple. The cereals generally have suffered less than has been expaoted and sup posed from the unusual weather of the past winter and spring, and while they all promise fairly there is no re serve as to the rcagnifieent outlook of the crop of oats in any part of the country. The prospects ol the hemp region are good, and though the fruit crop seem to have suffered from the unseasonable frosts in the west and northwest, from all parts of the At lantic coast generally more satisfac tory reports are sent to up. Ottr reports arc unexpectedly fav orable regarding the position and prospects of growing cotton. The oveifiotv of the Mississippi river, to together with local floods, delayed planting over largo areas, and the high e >st of plantation supplies, such a* Indian corn and bacon, caused ap prehensions that a deoreaied acreage would he planted, while the cold weather, with not unfrequent frosts, gave rise to rej orts of serious damage to the young plant; and there can be no doubt that some replanting will be done, exposing much of the crop to danger from early frosts in the fall. But when it is roneinbered that a cotton bo 1 will mature in six weeks, this danger will not be regarded as serious From New Orleans the sig nificant (act is mentioned that much sugar land has been planted to cotton, and the much higher prices now rul ing, as compared with last May, have doubtless promoted the planting of an increased are a wherever possible. Re ports from the Atlantic or ast and the northern belt may not be expected to be quite so tavorub'e as those from the gulf states, but the w hole situa tion at this lime may be regarded as promising a yield in excess of that ot tlie current season l ist year and ap proximating no doubt the largest ev er raised. Our despatches regarding the | r > - peels of winter wheat represent that a comparatively gloomy outlook has changed greatly for the better. The cold month of May, injurious as it un douhti-dly was to much other veg. 'a tion, did no harm to winter wheat. It gave it vigor, without* too rank a growth. The harvest has already, be gun in Texas, and die yield is excel lent in quality and quantity. In the northern states east ol the Mississip pi some fields suffered from winter killing, but aw has more recently aj>~ peered, not nearly to lh“ extent that 'was fear* and. There was little) or no increase in the acreage—in fact, it is probable that the drought of last summer caused some reduction of the an a sown, but at present there is lit tle reason to doubt that the yield will li 3 larger. Throughout much of the winter w he;,t section it wiii be ready for harvest in June, and even in north ern latitudes in July. Marie B wen, will elocuto before tbe S. F. F.
