The Richmond Examiner says: IN
tobacco now on hand IN the counties {
Halifax, PittsyIgania, Franklin an
Henry, in Virginia, and Rockinghan
. and Caswell, Ia North Carolina, IS est
mated to be worth 81, ,00O,oo III
crop of Pittsylvania alone is placed a
So, ,000, 600. Thase estimates are based OF
careful researches.
The Pittsburg Commercial says that
fall meeting OF the mill owners ot Pitts
burg and vieinity was held on Tuesday
when il was determined not to resume
! operatioas until the worknen viii aeeep'
such prices as will warrant them 10 doing
so. The question Is not whether the
! price shall be seven or nine dollars, but
/ who, in the present condition OF trade,
I will be able to obtain permanent work a
/ any price. II the mill owners eouiu
| have their own way they would not feel
/ justified in resuming permanently at
ANYTHING like what they would have
/ done a few weeks ago. A few weeks
running at half their capacity would
enable the mills to supply the market
for months, and another stoppage would
/ be the consequence. Full RESUMPTION,
at any price, is out Of the question:
The Fort Smith Herald says 4 The
wheat crop in this section Of the ceHR-
try is said TO look very well, and prom
ises good yield. We regret that the
breadth of land sowed last fall Is coo
small for the wants of the country. The
reason more was not sowed, was because
seed could not be obtained. We hope
good crop may be raised 80 large
amount of land may be sowsd next iail.
Flour is rather q scarce article here at
present, and we need more wheat soWed
in order that we may not have TO send
abroad for breadstuff. Indeed, this sec
tion of Arkansas ought to furnish ali the
-four needed at the different military
posts ia this state and the Indian
country. This would bring money here
and do the country a great deal OF good.
As il is, the country is drained of aIl the
money by sending abroad for such arti-
eles Of consumption as should be raised
here.
The London Times thus comments on
the returns of the foreign commerce OF
Great Britain in 1866: The trade during
the past year was in money value nearly
IA per cent. in excess Of all former eEpe-
rience OF the total Of slS8, s27 ,Io5,
nearly so per cent. was to cur own pos
sessions but, large as this proportion isi
it is relatively less than in preceding
years, since, although the increase IN our
colonial shipments in 1866 was about liz
per cent, in those to foreign countries i5
was nearly IS per cent. The most M
portant feature of the list consists IN the
extraordinary growth Of our trade with
the American continent NOtWithstand-
ing their protective tariff the United
States have taken goods from US to q
greater value than those taken by the
whole of Germany and France COM
bined while IS regards the countries Of
South America the Bra3ils now rank
higher than any European state, with
the exception OF Germany, France aud
Holland. New Granada comes next TO
Russia and the Argentine republic next
to Belgium and above the mother coun-
try, Spain, as well as above Portugal,
Denmark, Norway aud Sweden Chile,
Uruguay and Peru likewise figure for 3
good increase, but Mexico, on the re-
uewal of anarchy, shows a considerable
reaction. Our aggregate shipments to
the South American states have been
els, ,52S, $40. In our Intercourse with
France, which in 1865 showed an inn
provement of more than 10 per cent
there has been . further rise Of y per
cent. With Germany, Ia consequence
of the war, there has been q falling OIL.
Italy shows a recovery. Turkey ike
wise presents a very favorable total
including the Danubian prineipaiitiesi
whittier our exports have advanced from
1854 O63 to 1926, ,75S. Egypt occupies an
equally prominent position. Ghina1
shows a remarkable increase, and with
Japan cur trade has again been large,
although slightly less than in 1865.
