This report does not embrace all Of
the grain received on this market, as
large quantities come in on wagons
from the neighbOring counties, and some
Of the railroads neglect to send in
weekly reports, and one railroad COM
pany made no report during the entire
year. This is very important item to
tie gain trade Ct cur city, and it is
hoped that during the present year all
of our railroad companies will furnish
to the secretary weekly reports, in
order that We may show what our city
is doing in this direction.
AN EXPLANATION.
1t is but right to say that the de-
crease in "ofierings on Change" and
railroad receipts - is due to the poor
wheat crop in Virginia last season. 1t
was the smallest produced in this State
for many years.
The Grain Inspector reports l,lG9
cars Of grain inspected during the year
1866 bales of cotton were handled at
the Roanoke warehouse. No cotton
receipts reported by the railroads.
