FCREWARNED, FOREARMED!
TIE wHE7T CROP. 49,
Accounts from all parts Of the State agree as to the
alnos, entire failure of the Wheat Crop, and bennrrs
our farmers merchants, and banks, 10 take into conste
ration the consequence Of such failure. The loss of
crop can be so sensiby felt that of wheat. because it
is more cencrqLoss In districts have tobacco
as the chief supie in others cotton; and in others Indian
corn but wheat extensively cultivated IN almost every
district The export of tobacco annually bring int"
The State more money the equivalent of money, than
the export of wheat and flour, but the proceeds tall into
fewer hands; and may be the to cotton II we
include the produce Of North Carolina sold in our mar
kcts The annual export Of wheat and lnur, however
has been estimated bya udcous inquirer atan average OF
about four or four and afmons Of dollars; and, from
the best accounts have II is questionable whether the
crop of wheat this yeur-consIderlng the quality as well
as the quantity will be than sufficient for home
consuu ption. But suppose the export should amount
10 the value Of million Of dollars, then fall short

Should the merchants import the usual amount of foreign
articles, bow they 10 be paid for hem If the far

good crops they will be unable to pay the merchants
This may bring upon the country ruinous system OF
credits, and throw the commercial the banks tor
temporary succour, The banks, in turn, will consider
how they to make up this deficiency, when they can
not be sustained by the products Of the couny and from
the apprehension of losing great part of their specie
under an unfayorable balance of trade will be for
bearing and limited in their loans. 1t remains, then,
for the merchants to consider whether they will
mpor, less or continue their usual business, and
either not dispose of their goods or sell them on Gre
dit that will not enable them 10 meet their engage
mens abroad. Now the proper course to be pursued IN
this state of things would seem 10 be- diminished tmpoTta
ton and diminished consumption. All prudent commun
ties like prudent individuals, restrict their expenditures
by their means. He who borrows and runs IN dept 10

in debt for the purposes of consumption under the
delusive anticipation of double crop the next year,
The season approaching for merchants to go or
send to the Northern towns for their fall supplies AS
clear.sghted and prudent men, they will be moderate IN
their OUTLAWS, they may embarrass themselves and do
infinite mischief to the country Should the necessary
