DUN HAS GOOD CROP REPORT.

Corn Will Show Banner Yield and Wheat Good. Reports from correspondents of 1,. G. Dun & Co. in important crop sections show continued favorable progress for corn, and prospects of a banner yield. Winter wheat grades low, but the yield is good, and in Nebraska spring wheat is being ent, with conditions favorable. Damage by floods in Texas to cotton in insignificant and a large yield is practically assured in the Southwest. In the Atlantic coast States nnd in some parts of Georgia and Alabama rain is needed, but the crop is making favorable progress. Hay harvest is still greatly retarded by wet weather. Oats still promise a large yield. From central New York reports are numerous of blight add rot of early potatoes, but stiU a good yield." Tobacco in the Lynchburg section is free from insects and weeds, though little progress is made on account of the drought; in New York State an average yield is anticipated. Apples are doing poorly and bops in New York State art making very unsatisfactory progress.
