Portsmouth is so situated in its
business, many being engaged in
commerce, and in the fishing bus-
iness, that it is impossible to give
any accurate account of the re-
sources of the city. The receipts,
no doubt, from these two sources,
are several hundred thousand dol-
lars, annually.

There is no doubt but that the
individual wealth of this city ex-
ceeds that of any other city in the
State, with the exception of Man-
chester.

The agricultural products are
valuable. But three towns in the
county raise as many apples. The
improved land is about 2,000 acres.
The average value of crops to each
acre of improved land, is $ 45; this
includes pasturage.

The mercantile trade is very
large, having an extensive territo-
ry of a rich and populous farming
country, both in Maine and New-
Hampshire. The number of stores,
of all kinds, is over two hundred
and fifty, with a capital invested
of over $ 1,000,000.
