THE EASTERN SHORE.
The Potato Crop-ContempIate Build
ing n big Pier-Personn1.

ONANCOCK, VA, November B.-(Spe-
cial.)-There has been much diversity OF
opinion on the Eastern Shore OF Virginia
touching the size OF the sweet potato
crop raised in Accomac ana Northampton
counties this year, as compared with that
of 1856. While this years crop has been
a good one, in every respect. yet II Is
generally conceded that the crop OF last
year was probably the largest ever ra.sed
on the Eastern Shore. The shipping
statistics, Just compiled by the officials
OF the New York, Philadelphia, and Nor
folk railroad, show that up to date about
30.O00 more barrels have been shipped this
season than were shipped last year. The
shipments OF sweet potatoes over this
linz last year up to November LIST amount
ed TO about 472,0o barrels, while the
shipments for the same period this year
reach sol 900 barrels, n 1t Is m
that from 5000 to 1900 barrels yet re-
main TO be shipped.
The fact is, that last year the price OF
sweet potatoes was so low that II did
not pay TO ship them after the LIST or
August, and thousands OF barrels were
allowed to remain in the ground n rot
This season he price has never been
high. but IL has never fallen below the
AnlDDlnR DOlUl. JAW otS
ing here for y.15 per barrel. which, at
this season of the year amounts TO a lit
tie more thar 2 cents for every sprout.
Farmers say they can always do fairly
we'll IL they get an average OF cent a
sprout for the entire crop
