Remarks. —No changes worth speaking of since our last. 
The crops are now all in at the north. Wheat and Corn have 
proved a large yield ; the other grain crops, and Hay a full aver¬ 
age. Potatoes, a good crop ; Turnips, rather short; other roots, 
a fair crop. Cotton, Sugar, Rice, Hemp, and Tobacco, about the 
same as last year—a full average yield on the whole.
