TO  8UB8CRIBEES  AND  AGENTS 
As  we  are  now  entering  upon  the  second 
volume  of  the  Twenty  -  seventh  year  of  tho 
Bcral  New-Yohker,  it  would  be  well  for  the 
proprietors  to  say  to  subscribers  and  agents  that 
a  more  prosperous  time  than  the  present  has  not 
been  Wfen  in  this  office  for  many  a  year. 
Notwithstanding  the  cry  of  "hard  times” 
which  lias  boon  echoing  through  the  land,  the 
rural  }>opnlation  seem  to  bo  able  to  take  Iheir 
pa|ter.  It  may  not  bo  known  to  many  of  yon 
that  at  the  end  of  each  year  ami  half-year  n 
newspaper  changes  a  large  number  of  its  sub¬ 
scribers.  Rome  old  ones  discontinue  and  tbolr 
places  are  filled  with  now,  so  that  while  tho  list 
does  not  diminish  in  numbers,  the  changes  fre¬ 
quently  amount  to  many  hundreds. 
There  were  hundreds  on  our  list  whose  sub¬ 
scriptions  expired  with  tho  last  number  in  June, 
and  of  those  every  one  has  renewed  but  six. 
This  is  something  unprecedented  in  the  annals 
of  a  newspaper  office,  and  is  the  moat  flattering 
indication  to  the  new  management  that  their 
strenuous  and  lal.)orious  efforts  to  make  a  good^ 
With  such  enconr- 
Tbe  food  crops  were  probably 
never  more  proml,slng,  and  the  present  proapeem 
arc  tliat  Hie  y'lolil  oi  all  tho  earlier  cereals  will  be 
the  largest  known,  (if  the  lalx>  cereals,  f?ucb  as 
corn,  It  can  only  be  known  that  tho  ai  rcago  Is  of 
the  largest  breadth.  There  are  hazards  surround¬ 
ing  them  all,  but  the  situation  was  never  more 
gratioung.  Tho  California  wheat  exports  will  be 
about  WKi, 000  tons  larger  than  hast  year,  a  gain  or 
nearly  ftriy  per  cent,  bo  far,  there  Is  no  crop  of 
which  we  have  knowledge,  reported  otherwise 
than  favorable,  with  the  exception  of  loaf  tobacco. 
The  latter  has  recently  been  "coming  out”  to  a 
surprising  degree,  and  with  .as  good  weather  con¬ 
ditions  as  the  present,  there  will  probably  be  a 
good  average  acreage  planted  after  all,
