METEOROLOGICAL TABLE, Kept at Edinburgh, in the Observatory, Caltonhill. N.B. The Observations are made twice every day, at nine o'clock forenoon and four o'clock afternoon. The second Observation, in the afternoon, in the first column, is taken by the Register Thermometer. SOON after the date of our last, sowing of oats commenced in the early districts; the operation was performed with difficulty, by reason of continued high winds. Beans were all got in on coarse lands by the 20th, and oats before the end of March. In the higher districts, sowing of oats is yet scarcely over. The soil is in general so dry as to prevent a regular braird on stubborn lands. Beans and pease appear above ground. Planting of potatoes has commenced in the lower districts; and preparing ground for that valuable root is going fast forward. The depth of rain since the date of our last does not amount to half an inch. The temperature, with the exception of a few days in the end of March, has been mild; and on lands in good condition, wheat has a fine appearance; on light lands, the foliage is somewhat yellow. Young grass is in a forward state, and clover plants have stood the winter well. Prices of grain have improved a little since the middle of last month. Wheat sells freely at from 29s. to 31s. 6d. old measure. Oats have advanced 1s. to 1s. 6d. per boll; and pease are more easily sold. The scarcity of potatoes has kept up the price for seed of that article. Hay has fallen two-pence per stone in price since our last. The Spring markets have been well supplied with horses. Draught horses brought prices nearly as high as last Spring. Horses for harness or the saddle felt no depression in price. Milch cows are a shade higher than at the end of Autumn: fat beasts have paid little for their Winter keep: lean stock meet a dull sale, and prices rather looking down, but grass parks let quite as high as last year. Vegetation is rather more forward than usual at the same period of the season. The season for planting deciduous forest trees, oaks excepted, was over by the 7th of the present month. A great breadth has this year been laid under forest trees, but the boisterous winds towards the end of March were unfavourable to the operation of planting. Perthshire, 13th April 1826. VOL.
