The November returns to the Department of Agriculture make tho corn crop, the largest volume on record, with a rate of yield, however, somewhat leas tuau inai in dicated by the returns for oats, being 26.S buahels per acre. Thia must be regarded as preliminary and not a final estimate of the yield. In the Virginias and Carolina, some coun ties of Pennsylvania nnd Maryland, tho greater f.art of the giaat lakes aud Ohio val leys, California and Now Mexico, reports are conlllcting. owing to tho different aetiou of theuniversal drought upon different soils. The average yield of buckwheat is 20.1 bushels against 16.1 last year. The average yield of potatoes ii 100.7 bushels nor aero.

Cotton returns to the lepartmeutof Agri culture for tho month of November show aa average yield per acre for the entire cotton belt of 155. pounds, distributed by States as follows: Virginia, liiS; North Carolina, lift; South Carolina, 141 ; Georgia, 12; Florida, 144; Alabama, 135; MLssissippI, KM; Louisi ana, 177; Texas, 151; Arkansas, IKS; Tennes see, 181; all other States and Territories, 207. A large majority of the correspondents of the department complain of short yield, many reporting "half crop," the poorest in thirty yearB," or something similar. The dry weather, which has principally destroyed the top crop in many localities and injured it everywhere, has been favorable for picking, so that the fibre gederaily is reported clean and in good condition. The dania;;o from the drouth is not confined to articular States, none being free from it. H. . OftEEM, een'l 8pt., WajminotoM, 9. Ot J. If. GULP, TraiUc M g'$ VSllli4T( N, f.
