Bavrivore, Md.,, August 19,—The Baltli- more Masufacturers’ Record will publish to. morrow nearly fiva piges of special reports, covering the whole s:uth from Virginia to Texas, showiog that tho prospects for crops and the outluok for buciness in that section are remarkably good. Not only is the acre- ago of the cotton, corn and tobacco crop the largost on recozd, but the reports are almost unabimous in staticg that the yield of these crope, a8 well as the swaller crops, excapting wheat, will greatly excded the best crop ever before produced It is also ehown that crops have been made at @ lower cost than in any preceding year, and the liens on crops for money advauced to farmers is much less than heretofore. Official roperts from South Carolina show that while that state wiil producs about 4 000,000 bush- eis more of corn, and probably 800,000 bules of cotton more than last year, tho aggregate amcunt of sgricultural liens given to obtain advances upon tho growing crops is $3,000,000 less than in 1852, notwitustanding tho fact that the interveuing years of 1883 and 1884 were unfavorable crop years. In Georgis, the agricultural department estimates the corn crop at 40,000,00 busbels, sgainst 31, 000,0 0 bushels last year, and 24,600,000 bush- els in 1883, Rega.disg corn, reports from the whole south sre of the most flattering character, some stating that tho yield will be the best for years, others tho best for twocty years, and many THE BEST YIELD EVER KNOWN. It is thovght by the United States commis- sloner of agriculture that the increased acreage in corn ovor last year, and the splendid yield which 18 " now _ assured will give the south not less than 5 ,000.000 bush- ela of corn more than laet year, The cotton crop, it 18 believed, is safo for much the larg- est yleld ever made, and for at least 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 bales more than last year. In tobacco, fruits and vegetables the crops are the largest ever made in the south, while rit prowisss a splendid yield, and sugar a far more satisfactory and profitabie ceop than in 18! Stimulated by unprecedented crops, busines is already showing a decided Improvement, and the prospects throughout the south for fall and winter trade are reportcd a8 unusu- ally good. lu the organization of rallroad and manufacturing enterprises there is great ac- tivity, and the outlook for industrial later sts is particularly promising, AGrain Oommiegsion Firm Suspended § Torkno, August 19, —Walker&' Co,, grain commisaion, suspended to-day.
