According to the opinion of an expert, the
prevailing feature of the new Kentucky crop
seems to be want of substance and character,
in consequence of which factors conclude that
good rich tobacco will command full and
satisfactory prices throughout the season.
New wrappers are much wanted, and meet
with ready sale. Fears are entertained that
the crop is more inferior in quality than was
1T first estimated.
The Committee on Mines appointed by the
Richmond Chamber Of Commerce are now
actively engaged in collecting all possible in
formation as regards the mining operations IN
the State, but rs this is an onerous duty 1t Is
very desirable that the proprietors of mines
or those engaged in superin tending the work
ing Of them, should cooperate with the com
mittee by sending to The Chairman of the
Committee on Mines, Chamber of Commerce
Richmond Va such stats tical and descrip
tive information rs may contribute TO the OBJ
icct indicated. The committee have already
prepared list of mines of iron, lead, copper,
zinc, plumbago, manganese, mica, coal, kao
line, barytes plaster, salt, cement, silica, and
of quarries Of granite, limestone, and brown
stone; but as the list OF the number is not ye
complete, we trust that proprietors or mana
gers of every mine and quarry worked in TIT
State will comply with the suggestion w
make.
