We learn from Mr.. West-the polite and
efficient Agent at the Central Depot, in this
place that one house in Lexington. Messrs.
Hunt, Adderton & Co., sent down this week
for Norfolk, twelve hundred and fifty bushels
Of wheat. The freight on this wheat from
Lexington to Raleigh was S175-to Norfolk
$3.50, making 1925 from Lexington to Nor
folk. The freight on the same lot, if sent di'
rect from Lexington to ~Goldsborongh, and
thence to Wilmington, would nave been tc
the latter place, about 1915. But it must
be recollected that Norfolk has the advan.
tage of Wilmington as a wheat market. We
are gratiied, however. to learn that the pro.
