NCorn.--Having heard much con-
cerhIng The very sorry prospect Of Corn
Crops; and having had several applica.
tions from our friends in the country 10
purchase corn for them, we wrote to New
Orleans inguirins on what terms it could
be bought there, and at what rate il could
be shipped to Charleston, the answer to
which, we give below, for the information
of our friends:
Extrac, from letter received, dated
NEW ORLEANS, Aug, .l645.
Corn is now worth 81 SO cents, which
is low for this season Of The year, and as
the present crop is likely to be full av-
erage one, we think it probable that the
market may open below the presen, rates.
Freigbi engagements have been made TO
Charleston recently at 10 cts. per bushel. ("
At the above rate we think Corn can
noao be laid down in this place al So SIS
cts per bushel.
We beg leave, by this means, TO sug-
gest 10 those of our country friends who
may need Corn, and require our agency
in procuring it. that they forward us their
orders by the first Of October next at
that time as cash is necessary place
funds In our hands for the purpose, aud
we will at once order sufficient quantity
TO supply their several demands.

I" For eigh, weeks we have but once been

in, is very short. and our farmers will be
compelled to sell part of their stocks FOR
they canno, winter them. The drought
seems 70 prevail also at The Wes,. A
