THE WHEAT CROP.

cause the straw was not thoroughly dry when
the Wheat was threshed. One or two days
Of drv weather, with the shocks opened, VIII
do more to put the grain in order, than =
weeks drying when it is bnlked IN tough
state. We call the attention OF our country
friends especially to this matter.
Price Of Wheat.
The price of Wheat has fallen in some two
weeks from 81 go to $1,000 cents per
bushel. This is result few of our farmers
anticipated. 1t is however not surprising
when the facts are considered, and it is pretty
certain that the price will go down further
yet. Nothing can prevent it, but the failure
of the British Wheat crop, which is one of
the most certain crops inthe world Califor-
MIA has Wheat for export, and in the South
American States, whenever -four rises to the
present high prices, the inhabitants bring into
use variety of farinacious fruits and vege-
tables as substitute in part for bread. Look
ing at home the United States have the lar
gest crop ever reaped. From these facts we
do not see any good reason to anticipate any
extraordinary demand, from any quarter. The
war in Europe is conducted by regular forces,
and the agriculturists of those countries from
which we could alone expect demands for
our breadstuffs, are left to their pursuits, and
| their productions will not suffer diminution
| by the war. 1t is possible that the allied ar
mics may forcibly obtain large portion OF
their supplies from Russia, who has in COM
mercial way heretofore supplied them with a
considerable amount of wheat. In this way
will the effect of the. interruption of com.
merce be, in great measure, if not entirely,
offsetted.
For these reasons we conjecture that the
field for speculation in Breadstuffs is this
year very considerably curtailed

MAP OF HENRIco.-A very accurate map
of the county of Henrico, was published last
fall by Ro. P. SMITH, fromsurveys by Messrs
JAS. Kelly and THos. M. LADD. This map
contained also well defined plat of the city
of Richmond. Our friend, CHARLES E.
WORKMAN, No. 2O3, Main street, has become
the proprietor of the copy right, and has the
map for sale. It's highly valuable to every
citizen, not only of the county, but of the
city. Every man who takes any interest in
the affairs of the city and the improvements
in the surrounding country, ought to have it
on hand for reference.

After carefully sitting all the testi-

entertain strong hopes. amounting almos,
to certainty. that Mrs. Collins. and
large number Of other ladies were placed
into one Of the boats. and safely landed
under the immediate supervision of Capt.
Luce: and there appears 10 be strong rea-
sons for the belief that the three missing
boats may be yet heard Of with many more
passengers.

S.ate Fair.-We have received various
accounts Of the doings and success of the

most generally concur in the statement.
that it was creditable affair, consider
