VIRGINIA CORN ckoP.
The crop of this State will be good one for tho
area OF ground planted which, may be added 10 not
fourth of that of the year 1850 In the most prosper
times raised here for exportation and
for this the crop does not properly under
present consideration From the estimate made OF Inc
resources of the country am permitted TO conclude
there may be barely trade enough the approaching fall
and winter TO keep the market alive but cert liny no
thing like sufficient 10 meet the great expectations tho
merchants are indulgng, 70 justify the enormous
rents they oblgatng themselves 10 pay for their
Richmond stores, warehouses and dwellings

been reduced fully half since the year 1880, but

OF the country In fact have been reduced a much
proportion In addition to this many Northern
merchants opening houses and others may reasonn
bly, be expected to follow In what have herewith
written you have the results OF brief though close Oh
servations and investigations.
