AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The accounts we daily receive from all parts of the country, assure us of a most abundant harvest; and the following information may be considered as a fair epitome of the intelligence we have received since the publication of our last number.

CHESHIRE. We find complaints respecting the quantity of the oat, bar

ley, and bean crops, but their quality is stated to be good; beans are the most deficient. It is confidently anticipated, that the average crop of wheat, barley, and oats, will prove much superior to that of the former harvest.

CORNWALL. The wheat crop is much beyond an average, and the quality of the grain is excellent. The

[ocr errors]

barley and oat crops are much below

an average.10

DEVON, The harvest is got in, the farmer avers that for a

and

years past the ears of comber of

have not been so productive as in the present. Notwithstanding the rain, the crops have been well housed; and very little damage has been sustained by the continued showers which so frequently prevailed. The wheat crops are universally good. Beans and oats will give a very defective produce, and barley partially so on light grounds. Turnips have every where planted well, and there is not the least appearance of the fly.

HANTS. The barley crop, though' good in some places, is not generally so as the wheat; the number of ricks of that grain is far greater than ever before known.

MIDLAND COUNTIES.-These Counties appear to have suffered some injury from the rains, which did not fall, in the most northern, until the sickle was about to be put in motion. Some fields of wheat were laid, but not sufficient to affect, in any material degree, the average crop, which is on all sides declared to be excellent.

NORTHERN COUNTIES.

SOMERSETSHIRE.-The wheat has been stacked or brought home. The injury done by the partial rains is not material to the wheat. The lent graini has improved, but the oats and barley will prove short.

SUSSEX. - The weather has been highly favourable to the harvest, which enabled the farmers generally to get up the whole of their wheat in very prime condition; and so much so that in many instances it was taken from the field to the barn floors for immediate threshing-a finer crop never was known.

SCOTLAND.-Scotlaud appears to be doubly fortunate this year; it is honoured with the presence of the Sovereign, and has every reason to expect an abundant harvest. The potatoes have a most beautiful appearance. The crops in Argyleshire never looked better, but they are, at least, fourteen days later than those around Glasgow. In the Highlands the crops generally promise well, and on the western coast they are excellent.

IRELAND. The accounts are various, speculative, and consequently fluctuating. But from there being new grain in all their markets, and that in

can be more gratifying than Nothing large quantities, we are convinced that

the accounts from these Counties. It is too often the case in this division of the kingdom, that the summer lasts only long enough to bring the corn to full growth, and then deserts it, subjecting the agriculturist to a dreadful loss at the very moment he anticipated a full remuneration for his past labours. That is happily not the case in the present season, for the northern farmers are now reaping a noble crop of wheat, and there is every probability of their closing their labours as prosperously as they have hitherto carried them

on.

the harvest is unusually early; and we have a strong proof of its abundance in the content and plenty its produce has already spread in those counties where it is the most forward.

FRUITS.-We never recollect a more plentiful or more early year for fruits in general than this has been. The wall fruits are extremely fine, and are to be had in all counties, and in all markets, in great plenty. Apples will be very abundant, and are unusually large, probably owing to the profuse rain with which our orchards have been fertilized. The quantity of cider expected to be made will be considerable.

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
(London, August 23.)

COTTON.-There is little variation in the Cotton market; the purchases, from the 16th to the 22d inst. inclusive, exceed 1200 packages, viz-730 Bengal, 5d. a 6d. in bond-70 Surat, 63d. a 63d. ditto-22 Upland, 83d. ditto350 Pernambuco, 10d. a 11d. ditto63 Para, 8 d. a 81d. ditto-60 Demerara, 10 d. a 11d. duty paid.

SUGAR.-The demand for Musco

vades has been very steady, and though no general advance in the prices can be stated, yet the market is more firm, and the Sugars from 52s. a 57s. have realized higher rates.

In Refined goods there is no alteration; the quantity at market is quite inconsiderable, and the few buyers have difficulty in finding the small parcels which have been wanted during the

week; there is, however, no improvement in prices.-Molasses have been steady, 26s. 6d. a 27s.

There have been considerable en quiries after Foreign Sugar by private contract, particularly for yellow Ha vannah, but no sales to any extent are yet reported. By public sale on Wednesday, 760 bags Bengal Sugars sold at full prices; ordinary white, 30s. 6d. a 31s. 6d.; middling, 32s. 6d. a 33s.

COFFEE. The market on Tuesday" and Wednesday last was very heavy, and a slight depression in the prices was submitted to: the demand has again revived, and a considerable sale went off with spirit, nearly realising the prices of last week for Jamaica Coffee; the Demerara and Berbice sold freely, at prices 2s. a 3s. per cwt. higher,

This forenoon, 142 casks 7 bags Jamaica and Berbice Coffee went off with considerable briskness at very full prices; middling Berbice, in extensive parcels, 128s. and 130.

CORN.-There was very little de mand for Wheat this forenoon; the prime samples fully supported Monday's prices; all other descriptions were unsaleable even at a further reduction, which the holders were willing to accept to facilitate sales, but there were few transactions reported.-Fine Barley was in some request, at an advance of 1s.-Oats were 1s. lower, and met a dull sale at the reduction.In Beans, Peas, and other articles, there was no alteration.

FRUIT. There is no variation this week.

HOPS The acconnts from the hop districts are more favourable, the duty is now estimated at 140,000l. to 145,0001.1***

TALLOW.-The demand for Tallow has lately been steady, the prices without any alteration; yellow Candle Tallow is to-day 37s. a 37s. 6d. The letters from St. Petersburgh state a fall in the Exchange, 97.

RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS. -There are more enquiries after Rum, but the revived demand has not yet been followed by any extensive purchases, the prices remain nominally the same as last.-Brandy is offered on rather lower terms without facilitating sales. A public sale advertised, has tended greatly to damp the market.→ Geneva is held for a further advance.

OILS. The market remains in the same nominal state which we have lately reported; there are no accounts respecting the fishery. Greenland Oil is held at the advanced quotations, but there are no sales.

IMPROVED STATE OF TRADE.-The accounts which we have received from various parts of England are highly gratifying, as they respect almost every branch of British Manufacturing Industry. In hardware, in cottons, in woollens, &c. the trade is as brisk as has been remembered for a great number of years, and wages have obtained a corresponding increase. The hardware trade in Staffordshire and Warwickshire is very brisk, and numerous heavy foreign orders have been received.
