fair estimate Of the quality Of their wheat 1t
seems universally Acknowledged that east of the
mountains the crop has sustained great damage,

the Blue Ridge and farther west, it has not sus.
tanned SO much injury; In many places the crop
is represented as very foe. The price that it

Richmond the mIers are Offering 81 10 to l Id.
but the farmers are unwilling to take this price.
In this place engagements are making at 81,

much new wheat brought 10.
