The fact that the condition la only 2.2 above that re ported by my correspondent at this Urnc last year speaks loudly as to the effect of the recent rains. The crop Is reported on an average twelve days kte, and for this reason It Is more tiun aver exposed to the vldsltudes of tbs weather hereafter. It Is notewor thy that while the condition In Texas and the southwest la better than last rear, the condition In the Atlantic lutes and Alabama Is decidedly below that of last year.
