.... The wines in the Champagne country are 
reported to be exceptionally abundant, but 
interior in quality. This year the Burgundy 
district j,vill yield a small but rich vintage. 
The same may be said of the Bordeaux valley 
.About 1,500 bushels of potatoes are 
shipped by boat from Albany, N, Y., daily. 
The places received vary from $1.75 to $2.12. 
The supply comes from the counties immedi¬ 
ately surrounding Albany Comity.The 
amount to be. given in premiums at the Wast¬ 
ern New York fair, to be held in Rochester, 
beginning on the 27tb of this month, is 
$18,000.The following report of the 
condition of the crops was issued by the De¬ 
partment of Agriculture on Sept. 15: 
COTTON. 
The reports of September I to this department 
show a very heavy decline iu the condition of Cotton 
since the lust report, owing to a protracted drought 
which has prevailed In all sections of the cotton belt. 
The condition as reported Is T'J, a decrease of Hi per 
cent, during the month of August, and as compared 
with the returns at the same date last year, is lit per 
cent. less. The reports arc from 330 counties of the 
cotton section and are somewhat less in number than 
usually received. The number of counties and States 
averages are as follows: North Carolina, forty-two 
counties, reporting average 72. South Carolina, twen¬ 
ty-two eounties; average, (IS. Georgia, ilfty ttve coun¬ 
ties; average, 71. Florida, fourteen counties; average, 
87. Alabama, thirty-three counties ; average so. Mis¬ 
sissippi, thirty-seven counties; average. 71. Louisi¬ 
ana, fifteen counties; average, 70. Texas, sixty 
counties; average, 05. Arkansas, thirty-one counties; 
averag, 55. Tennessee, twenty-one counties; average 
62. 
CORN. 
The general average condition of the corn crop 
on September 1 was 60, being 17 per cent, lower than 
the month previous and 31 per cent, lower than a 
year ago at the same date. The cause of the low eon. 
dltlon existing In almost every section of the coun¬ 
try Is drought. New England is less affected by it 
than any Other section east of the Mississippi, and re¬ 
ports an average oft*). In Wisconsin, Minnesota and 
most of the Territories there has been more seasona¬ 
ble went her, und the condition of the crop is corres¬ 
pondingly better, but lti all other sections the reports 
show the effects of an unusually dry season. From 
Illinois, Missouri uml Kansas come serious com plaints 
of ravages by the chinch bug, added to the prevailing 
drought, and t he Injury to the crop prospect Is shown 
by the State averages, which are 58, 42 and 55 respec¬ 
tively. 
TOBACCO. 
The returns from correspondents give a very seri¬ 
ous decline in the prospect for the tobacco crop, be¬ 
ing some 20 per cent, less than a month since. With 
the exceptions of the States north of the Delaware 
River and Wisconsin In the West the universal com¬ 
plaint Is drought. Kentucky and Illinois each report 
but little Over half a crop, while Tennessee ami Mis¬ 
souri report less than two thirds. The average for 
the whole country Is only 68, against 85 last month 
and 84 at Mils same dale last year: 
E, A. Cabman, Acting Commissioner. 
There is a talk of holding a national conven¬ 
tion of sorghum Cano-growers in Chicago at 
the end of the season, and of their organizing 
a National Association of Cane-growers, with 
the object of still more vigorously pushing tho 
industry.Australia and New Zealand 
take nearly all the surplus hops of the Pacific 
Coast.Potatoes are rotting very badly 
in New Jersey.John B. Raymond, of 
Fargo, Dakota, says that he has harvested this 
season $50,000 worth of wheat from a farm 
that cost him only $50,000 two years ago. 
There shouldn’t be a rush of farmem to buy 
such little farms there, though.Early 
state that the weather had been hot, causing 
serious damage from drought to the maize 
crop of Rou mania. 
Cheese.—T he market has ruled quiet, all the wor k 
and some of the receipts have held over. Dealers have 
named prices rather stiffly In sympathy with interior 
rates, but shippers have not been urged to purchase 
and it will require assured light receipts next week to 
support present views of holders. The home trade 
is lair. Average quality has called off, hut the fact. Is 
Cheese lifts turned out so tlnely this season that a very 
little difference js soon noted.

CROPS AND MARKETS, 
Copious rains all over tho country during 
the past week. Unstacked grain has been 
more or less injured in may places. Telegrams 
from Minn., this morning, say the reports of 
injury from this cause in that State were exag¬ 
gerated. The whea t coming in grades well. Up 
to Friday evening the rain-fall at 24 Signal Ser¬ 
vice stations in the Cotton Beit averaged 
inches, against 1.26 inches for the correspond¬ 
ing month last year, 0.01 inch last week. Last 
week’s Washington telegram gave the rain- 
full at 0,09 instead of 0.01 ; but it was only a 
a mere trifle whichever is correct. There 
have been wide fluctuations in breadstuffs dur¬ 
ing the week, but the markets have, on the 
whole, been favorable to holders and to an ad¬ 
vance itt price. Advices from Europe tend to 
strengthen prices for grain, for while they 
coufirm previous advices of the surplusages of 
grain in some countries, they intimate that the 
needs of others will be larger than hitherto 
counted upon. As yet no really trustworthy 
estimate can be formed of the deficiency or 
surplusage of grain in various countries, but 
the following table shows the matter approx¬ 
imately.
