CORN.

The corn crops for the two years, according to the best information that I have, are as follows:

It is difficult to form a correct estimate of the cotton crops, as Nashville and Memphis, our chief cotton markets, receive a large amount from other States. From the best sources I estimate the crop for the State,

The stimulus given to the cultivation of fruits and vegetables during the past two years is very gratifying.

All other coal mines estimated at about 500,000 bushels. Application was made to some for an estimate of their output, but was refused.

IRON FURNACES.

Owing to the depressed prices which have prevailed for pig iron during the past two years, several furnaces remote from transportation, have suspended operation. The following were reported in blast the latter part of December, 1878:
