Editors Of the Intell'IOncer:
I have just made q tour Of a large por-
tion ol this State, and find the crops gen.
orally good-wheat extra in both yield
and quality. The new crop Is generally
starting, at about 81 90 per bushel, but
holders appear to be reluctant TO sell at
that price, and sales will probably be
quite limited until the corn crop Is more
nearly matured. The corn crop prom
lses very good, the late very general rains
having brought It out wonderfully. The
oats clop is very short and go Is hay. This
latter will ele;t our interests materially,
as tho crop is not sufficient to winter the
amount OF stock usually kept over by
our farmers. The market, therefore, for
young stock will be glutted, and the
price necessarily low.
Our people are talking railroad and we
think we will be able 10 pull through on
line 10 Grafton. But railroad extension
Is up hill business, since the financial
crisis. There are, however, many eyes
looking wistiully and jealousy upon our
extensive forests oil fine timber, and our
deposits OF coal and iron, &c, and some
means will ere long be devised 10 reach
them, andlhe fret enterprise that reaches
US will receive the aid OF our people.
There is yet great spathy-politicslly
Among our people, and throughout the
State, so fer as have been able 10 ascer-
tain. As l Intend TO write you again
soon, and as the political problem pre-
senu as yet but shapeless macs, will
defer any attempt TO comment upon the
political probabilities until my next.

volume Of trade is quite equal

continues fairly active, and the sales Of

all grades are firm. The market ier hides
continues firm, and .on domestic, prices
have improved slightly. Leather is in
steady request, but the prices obtained for
the common grades are not satisfactory TO

and shoes indicate q heavy business, and
the sales Of mems boots have been unu-
sually large. There Is some complaint
that prices are not leaving much Of q
