Gates on Crop Damage.

New York, June s.—John W. Gates, who has Just returned to this city from the southwest, where he had been Inspecting his properties, says the reports of crop damage have been exaggerated. The damage to wheat, according to Mr. Gates, will probably range between 2 and 5 per cent. He says, however; that the cotton crop has. been damaged as a result of the unusually heavy rains.
