| CHors THE WEsr.-The Ashevle News,
| speaking of the crops &c, in the western part
| of North Carolina, says:
Everything in the shape of eatables is
| abundant in this country just at the present
time. Such crops Of Corn were probably never
beford ihade in Western Carolina, as have been
ga thered the past Fall I'm many places tho
yield has been such as to remind us Of tho
seven years of plenty" in the days of Pharaoh,
King of Egypt when the earth brought forth
by hanssfuIl. The farmers in sections,
we creditably Informed, have filled all their
cribs, and then built rail pens in the fields to
hold the remainder.
The Wheat crop excellent, but large
amount of it has been spirited away, to supply
distant markets.
Potatoes, green apples, and dried fruit, are
abundant.
The hog crop is pretty good, though the
reported shortnesS of the usual Tennessee and
Kentucky supply has tendency to pnt the
price asked to high figure. We have heard
of some sales of county pork at cents, gross,
and cents, nett. This will be, suppose,
aboat the average figure. Tepnesseeans are
asking more, but Will not get it, unless it be
in the payment Of their tavern bills
Corn is selling at from 35 to so cents-de-
pending the payment and the necessities Of
the seller. We have known several lots sold
at 35 cents, cash, while of our merchants
in spirit Of liberality, are allowing their Gus
toners so cents in discount.
Flour is now worth 81 barrel, and will not,
we think, be less-probahly more.
Butter readily brings Is cents per pound,
Eggs 10 cents per dozen, Rye SO cents, &c.
