Crop Keport.
Washington, Sept. 10. —In Dela
ware, the last planted corn was injured.
In Maryland drought caused a reduction,
while from South Carolina around to
Texas a high condition is well maintained.
No figures falling to 90, except in Mississ
inpi and Florida. Rain in this region has
interfered with cultivation and in some
districts rotting of ears is reported. In
Texas and z\rkansas a good yield is
assured, and fair crop is made in Tennes
see. Corn improved in central Ohio and
declined from drought in the southern
counties. A decided improvement re
ported in Indiana. There has been injury
from drought in Michigan. Illinois and
Kansas and in less degree in Missouri and
lowa.
The crop is late through the northwest.
