TOBACCO. “ 
The larger tobacco States report a low condition: Maryland, 72; 
Virginia, 65; North Carolina, 69; Tennessee, 80; Kentucky, 77; Ohio, 
97; Missouri, 87. This indicates a reduction in August of 8 per cent. 
in Maryland and Virginia, 4 in Tennessee, and 9 in Missouri; but a gain 
of 5 per cent. in Kentucky, 3 in Ohio, and no change in North Carolina. 
The condition averages better in States producing less quantities: 
Massachusetts, 103; Connecticut and West Virginia, 102; Pennsylya- 
nia, Louisiana, and Texas, 101; Georgia, 100. 
In York, Pa., a promising crop is maturing rapidly. In Maryland the 
erop was extensively injured by drought in August; in Calvert it is 
firing badly from this cause. From Virginia an extraordinary attack of 
worms is reported in Fluvanna; much damage by a worm that eats its 
way into the pith of the stalk, and by grasshoppers in Franklin, and 
destructive work by the horn-worm in Halifax. In Mecklenburgh, the 
erop has improved very much since rains set iu. Much of it is too late 
to ripen in Franklin, and the late crop is doing almost nothing in 
Louisa. 
In Kentucky, too much rain is causing some crops to french in Car- 
roll, but, otherwise, returns respecting the promise of quality are gener- 
ally favorable. In Gallatin, the condition of the crop, on diminished 
acreage, is the best ever seen. In Simpson, also, though not more than 
25 per cent. of a crop, is good in quality.

ously injured by the driest August formany years. Calvert: Smallest crop for severa 
years; firing badly from dry weather. Howard: Dry weather has cut off the late

it did not recover after rains set in. 
Vircinra.—Caroline: Not more than one-third of the usual crop can be raised. Camp- 
bell: The prospect very unpromising. Cumberland: Cannot be more than 33 per cent. 
of a crop, and much of that small and light. Dinwiddie: The early planted is looking 
well; late planted doing badly—barely half a crop can be made. Madison: Improving ; 
some crops very heavy, but not average in quantity or quality. Grunswick: Almost a 
failure. Fluvanna: Not a fourth of a crop, and that suffering from an uncommon in- 
yasion of worms. Carroll: Excellent prospect. Franklin: The crop 67 per cent. less 
than last year, and a large portion so late that it cannot ripen. Louisa: Improved 
since last report, but not more than half a stand, and that now suffering for rain. 
Orange: Shortened by drought.” Pulaski: Has improved since the last report. Hali- 
fax: Late and unpromising ; horn-worms never more destructive ; not halfa crop will 
be secured. yh

dition. Warren: Too much rain. Iredell: Good in quality, but only half a crop 
planted. Orange: The small crop will average fairly. Stokes: Cannot make more
