Tabor, Sept, 18th 1854


MeSsrs OBrien.--Your circular has come to
hand, and in answer to the same l can say, first
that in our wheat crops there has been failure
of at least fifty per cent,-not enough to talk
about the price. Our Oats were excellent
though not many for sale. As to Corn it is
rather difficult to form proper estimate as to
the yield or price, in consequence of the drouth
which has almost proved fatal in some neigh
bofhoods. whilst others have not suffered so
much, but taking the corn CROPS all together,
so far as my observations have been, think
there will be something over half crop, some
have sold at fifty cents in the field others are
holding on for higher prices. In Horses, Mules
and Cattle, as to quantity and quality there is
but little if any alteration from the past year,
prices downward; in hogs there is decrease in
quanty and quality and price, and owing to the
scarcity of corn there will be but few hogs
fatted for sale. Yours &C.,

The drouth is being severely felt in this section

least one third from last year, or considerably
more than one third from an average crop, Of

but some falling off from last year. The Dat
and Hay crops were abundant.
think with our Corn, Oats, Hay, &c, we
will have plentiful supply but none for ex-
portaton. The Potatoe crops l apprehend will
be total failure. The number of Hogs are
about the same as last year, but small and
lean; can now be bought at two dollars per
hundred. Mules have been selling ten per
cent higher than last year, but observe con-
siderable decline within the last few days. Cat

Nessrs. O'Brien.-By request I give you
what information have in relation to crops in
this county. Corn is loss than half an average
crop. Wheat but little ever sown here any
season. Oats, were unusually good more than
average by one fourth. Prices of corn and
oats now is not higher than last year, but corn
is bound, to be $l,00 an other year. Stock,
Horses are plenty, prices some higher from so to
$lOO-owing to quality. Mules but few, low
er prices. Cattle no decrease in number, good
prices, more than last year, yearlings to Sc,
Mich cows 10 to SIS. Hogs, larger stock of
young hogs, prices lower, gross II to 2 cents,
no pork yet in market, but from the crops being
bad it will be high. Stock of all kinds will be
down shortly, for the people have not feed to
keep them. From every circumstance now as
connected with the interest of the people of
Scott county, see nothing short of suferance
for bread by numbers of the mountain folks.
Indeed they are already alarmed and divers
selling and moving off to keep from suffering.

NesSrs OBrien.-I received your Circular
of enquiry ofthe 26th Of August, which hast
en- to answer to the best of my knowledge
The crop of Wheat this season in our county,
if any difference, is a full average crop. Oats
is supposed to be full average crop Grass.
a very considerable quantity of herd Grass, and
Clover has been taken care Of Corn, it seems
to be the general conclusion that half and per-
haps less than half an average crop, is all that
viii be made. Hogs--the quantity of Hogs
is twenty per cent over last year and it is the
general conclusion that it would take very near
all the Corn made to fatten all the Hogs that
are large enough TO fatten; there will be about
one third less offorN -.s,S this year than last,
and if itshould be hard winter, great many
stock Hogs viii have to die for the want of
corn. Cattle the number is about the same
as last year. Horses and Mules-not much
change in those animals, except in prices which
is some higher, that is for good ones; Colts and
those not ready for market will have to come
down.
l think by there being good deal OF hay
and fodder saved, the probability is, there will
be a sufficient quantity to supply the demand
of our country, for our farmers are beginning
to feed on saving principles this winter and
they will do with at least one third of what
they have been in the habit of doing with for
previous years. Below l give you the prices
of grain and stock for this and last season:

cents per bushel. Corn is a good average
crop, quantity grown 10000 bushel, Price, so
cents per bushel. Grain of all kinds will
doubtless be some higher this year than for
several years past. The number of Stock Hogs
is large, say about $4,000 head, at an average
price of 81 per head. The price of hogs is
lower, and the number greater than they have
been for many years past. We have the pros
pect Of fine white-oak and beach mast
throughout allthe mountain country by which
hogs will be fatted more cheaply. An IN
usual number of Cattle have been bought
up this year by stock drivers, at unprecedented
high prices. Good "three year olds' brought
from Is to 20 dollars per head. Most of those
left for market have been sold. The whole
number Remaining amounts to about $500.
The number Of Horses is about 1000, prices are
high and vary from $l,25 down. The num-
Der Of fine marketable horses is smaller than
in former years. But little attention is paid to
the raising of Mules, there are probably so in
the county. Price $75 per head. There are
about $500 head of Sheep in the county, werth
81 per head. There are IA FORCES in the county
most of which nave been idle a great portion
of the present year, owing chiefly to the search
ty of grain and horse feed. Still there will be
manufactured the present year from $50 to 400
tons of bar iron. Price, at the FORCES cents
