Land Office Decisions Change Land Warrant Use
The Land Office rules that when multiple applications exist for the same tract, land is auctioned to the highest bidder and no land warrant can be used if payment is not in money. Many locations were settled with warrants, but now they must be cancelled and paid for. Revolutionary Virginia scrip may be accepted at $1.25 per acre. Patents for discontinued Land Office entries will be issued upon surrender of duplicate certificates. The announcement urges republishing due to its wide impact. Sugar market updates note continued price rise with hope for decline by Christmas as crops improve and stocks grow. Maple and sorghum prospects suggest strong prices if consumption stays restrained.
