one or two notable exceptions which
will be found in the report below. There
has been a large amount of cOrn arIiy-

wheat raised III that State. A barrel of
it was the first -four Of 1872 offered in st.
Louis. As such il was put on auction on
st. Louis Merchants Exchange, where
il brought two hundred and fifty dollars.
Captain Ed. Storm sent a box Of crack
ers made from it to our Chamber Of Com
merce, where il is on exhibition. The
crackers were made by Carreau, Mill
