THE PRICE OF WHEAT 1t is conceded the
crop in Virginia is the best since the war: \
gentleman lust from Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, reports
very wet weather and great trouble in saving
the heat, which was mostly fallen. The corn
crop looks worse than for years IN all these
States, but particularly bad in Ohio. The corn
and oat crops in Virginia are Indifferent. Corn
is about one month later than usual. A foreign
demand for the surplus breadstuits OF the | III
ted States seems very probable. The Mark
Lane Express reports uniavoraby for the
English wheat There is ship in New Or
leans to load with wheat for France, and other
orders are reported. England obtained the
bulk of. her supplies from Odessa and the
Baltic. Since the emancipation OF the seris in
Russia there has been the same confusion in
labor as We have had here, and instead of the
immense exports, the Gar has gone into the
European market and has also forbid any cx
port OF grain.
think the greatest blessing to our dear old
State, now that Walker is elected, will be for
our farmers to obtain good prices The pro-
ducer will get very small portion, and the
rest will be diffuscd among oil classes OF our
people. hope our market town of Alexan-
dria will have the patriotism to compete with
other markets, and secure all her legitimate
trade A FARMER OF RAPTDAN.

wagons delivering wheat, aud the unusually
large amount of merchandise received, for this
period of the year, as we'll as travel to and

under "bosses" Fitzpatrick and Young, have
been for some weeks engaged at this point,
in renewing the ties, ballasting the road and
putting down additional switches to accommo-
date the increasing trade of the depot. The
''stock pen" recently erected, has proved of
great convenience to drovers, and large
