Du you imagine, that the kw discouraging price actors for the last year has affected the sowing this spring ?-1 4 11. 1 do not think it bee ; 1 lank, if it woe to eentiaseanotber 'air, it would ; because, I thigh, a vast deal o f land would be arrows up to the landlord. end sot cultivated at all. Would eel the emiseesonee be, • greet dellefeerry in the produce of this coautry below its consumptiou ?-1 have so doubt the produce world greatly lessee ; but whether below its eonrumptiou I eau bardlgduy. is there not an idea that sße Weil of ('.rest Britain does sot praline soMeinit Mow 8410Mmta, by tar ntwstM emdemiell lion ?—.That does nut appear to be the ease the two last • years; there has hen' very little foreign Corn brought in. - Do you thick, if the low price of teen continues, it will - prevent sprier suwiug, and shorten very mach the produce of the country?—No doubt of it , it it continues; but sot this year. alliMar "i t re " ? de applintio• tpeo ei ad rer epois irs "ie the Iterngstbfer ° of time Air which low prices coutinue ; if Moose low prices continue fur a year or two, there will be as hiseuraso queasily of laud put out of cultivation. Them that wi'l render the country mere dependant on forties nation for her supply ?—I lf coons that nine be the cow, if the land goes out of cultivates*; corn must be brought in to feed the people. Can you state what quantity of free forefeet cora was leA on hand, when the ports were open, in 1819 ?—The foreign corn trade I am not concerued in • being greatly occupied is knew le:m lead, and upon Gentetes estates; I seldom have an opportunity of attending a conskarket. You know, probably, that there Is at present • quantity of fret foreign corn its the awakes ?—Nut is the home market; I have heard that there is a great deal seder the Kisses locks fee the f weirs market. Yea have heard there is • quantity seder lock of that brought in in 1819 ?—tio I have heard. Do you think the importation of 1819 was rendered se. cessery by the deficiency in the home growth in 1818 ?-1 de sot think the crop of 1818 • large crop; hat 1 by au means sow think it was r very defirieut crop; the appearance in the early part of the seasoe was that of an almost total failure, bat the straw predated greatly. If land is thrown out of cultivation, in the way stated in a late eptertioa, will nut that have the effect of raising the peiee of corn in the home market ?-1 think is must. • Must it not rise to above Mk. before it can, ender the prevent law, be imported ?—Nu doubt of It. Is it possible that the fanners con enntione to pay their present rents, tithes, taxes, and poor's rates, at the low prior of cora which they now have ?—I think out. Most not the extrusive purchases made of foreign cora, in the years 1817, IBIS, and 1819, fora very coosiderable time, dial& the venal purchaser, of British core from dealing so largely with the British grower as they otherwise would have dose ?—lt must love 601110 effect, hut whilst the price • cora is so tench below that which will open the purls, 1 can not suppose it to produce a great deal. Mast sot a market, to be a good market, be always sock a. mdmitsof • omens degree al atmeculekm and not merely • market of supply from hand to mouth?—Large specula tors coming into a market, of course must inerense the price, but it strikes me the best speculator to keep corn for Great Britain is the wealthy farmer, who keeps it is the straw i' and that I know to be the case; at the present m•.v. meatl know many large farmers who have not threshed vent • single handful, who will not sell at the present prices. Do you not coercive it would be • great advantage to the country if there were encouragement given to warehouse home coni instead of foreign ours?—lt is, I think, an hypo thetical ease; hut arleviniug such a circumstance to take place, an immediate benefit to the farmer would accrue, but 1 do sot know the means of keeping corn for a great length of time. Do you think it would he worth the while of any British farmer to attempt to warehouse British turn whets he can posehase foreign corn at ro much lower a prier, and ware. house It ?-1 think it quite worth while for any farmer to warehouse his corn its his stacks at this lime, if 1 may be allowed to use the term. What pmsible motive could the farmer have al any lime to warehouse the produce of his farm, in an expensive warehouse belonging to another person, with all the charges upon it ?-1 never heard of ■ farmer attempting that. It is not possible, if at any trine corn in this country became so extremely cheap that the farmer did out thick it proper to take it to market, provided be could do without the money it would produce at market, to keep that corn and not stud it to market, rather than 61 send it to ■ glutted and too cheap a market?—There are many now who du so; 1 know many iudtviduals who are acting upon that at Ibis assent. Is there ■ny thing to prevent • farmer warehousing his corn at this moment?-1 hardly know how • farmer ran warehouse his corn; it is •n extraurdonstry circumstance fur a farmer to lay up his corn after it is thrashed ; •ud I should no longer call bias • farmer, hut • corn merchant. The question refers to the British merchant attempting to speculate in British eons instead of foreign corn, sod warehousing that article?—That must entirely depend on the opinion the individual may form, and what he supposes will he the price of corn sum s time brace. Are you of 'opinion, that if a well founded opinion pre. wailed that British taro, the average of nhich is about fifty-four shillings, would rise twenty-Eve per cent. within the n-xt twel h, there would be any want either of •apital or specuisti .... for the purchase of British COM Nis ; I have uo doubt there would be plenty of buyers if they were confident of reliant saris a profit. A rise of twenty-five per cent on fifty-four, would bring the prise 'alt corn to silty-vertu and sixpence, would it not?—Yea. At siity.aeven and sixpence would not the person an ape. culating with British eursi, still retain the monopoly of the home market, as against fueeigo core ?—Certainly. Then would it not he a much more advantageous and safe speculation at the present pikes, should there be a prospect of a rise in the commodity, to speculate in British corn, which enjoys the monopoly of the market up to eighty shil lings, rather than in (nicest) corer, which merit be admitted at all, until an uncertain and indefinite period at which the price may exceed eighty abillings?—l think that would de pend upuu wh.tt price he eau buy foreign corn abroad for. Would it nut also depend upon the probability of that tirrign corn being admissible within some limited period to the British market ?—Nu doubt. Thin rupposisig the probability to be against the prices bring such as to admit f.ireigts corn to the British market fur two years to come, as it has been excluded fur two years auw gone by ; which du you think would be the wisest specula tion, to purchase British corn at fifty-four, or forest,' corn at 1111/IY-five, with a view to the British market ?—British emu, beyuud a doubt. Have you ally reason to believe, that there will be such • rise in the price of cure as that supposed in the questiou ? My opinion IP, that there will not; my opinion is, that there is more cure isi the kingdom el tins season of the year than there is in amity years immediately after the harvest. You speak of curu the growth of Great Britain or Ire land ?—Yea. Nat hicluding the warehoused eon, ?—No. Do not you (kink the farmer is prevented by his distress froth speculating, by r hark his own esieS ale? —Many small farmers pud pour fainters bare theettehetuit their coin and tarried it to market; bet I know very in.. tressed persons upon estates, the reefs of staid. base 5e...8 in aurae two or three years, some longer, wh0.... itaillo•ds have horn kiwi enough nit to r 6 tele& payritent of the rests, who have hot thrashed out • handful. Du you consider that the corn an kept bark, reaches to any great mount in quantity?—Yes; 1 think to sea great amount. If the importer of foreign corn was prohibited, by high duly, from speentalieg in furriers corn, would he not embark his money in the purchase of that corn yaw bare Leru speak- I lag 011-1 lordly know, fur 1 oppreheint the specolther in foreign corn is looking to a doable market ; that the mall who buys foreign corn takes the rh ince of the puma being opened here. ...ma if they are not, it is irerely trsnsferred over in some ether plate .f course; therefore I thief the epreiletuni in foreign stirs; who are generally men of large capital., do it wit► a leellOwairw, mid %SS booking inerely to one market. Ermine this in your estolleedoitiabolow wM emareiwe with reference to the essosempt ion of this country, mad weave is prier is thin evrestry, they weeld still epeeelste itgthe corn yon have described as being retaileedis the *sob of the firmer ?—I think they might, tir a petal. degree. To whatever degree that speculation was maintained, 4ei you sot conceive that it would be an iroeourageineut to the farming Interest !—No doubt about it. What cossuies id Europe, besides great Britain, are pe►- chasers of gain ?-1 believe there is a great quantity of grate, at this time, shipping fur Italy. You have spoken of cure bring in the heeds of wealthy farmers; is that molly thrashed or unthread's:4 !-11.1n thrashed ; it is in the straw. Can any farmer keep a considerable qestirity of corn is the straw without great injury ?--1 think be antlers; the corm wastes eousiderahly with vermin. Ces he spare the straw ? —There is his greatest difficulty. Du you think the corn wastes more in the straw than when it ii thrashed?—No ; I have sees tore laid out is gra naries annihilated. picked net with pickaxes, if it he* two yeses; it depends upon the mason cud upon the way in which it was laid up. British cure is seldom bought for speculation on this account ; there is no such business per used. Are you sot aware that rich farmers have, of late years, bees in the habit of plaeisg their grain is granaries ?-1 have sot knows It. If the rise in the price of eorn, depended epos the deli. eleney in the growth at tome, would not the foreign are sow warehoused have ■w immediate effect upon the horse market, so as to prevent it. rising to that extent, that the delleiseey itself, perhaps, might justify ?Nu doubt it would lower the pries of corn. Would it before the ports arrested, or afterwards ?—Whew the prices ruse to be so mar to the opening the poets, it would have an effect upon the market, eertamly. In preveutieg a rise to that price at which the ports would open ?—Certainly. Would not that be one beneficial effect under the present law, to the-British grower, inasmuch as it would abet out both the foreign stuck of corn on band here, and p t a fresh importation fur the home market ?—Nu doubt of it. What would be the immediate effect os the market, if thit ports should opts with a large quantity in warehouse?—lt would create a eousiderable fall is price, certainly. Would nut that depend epee time deficiency ?—Nu doubt of it. Would there not be, provided the prices came to merle She price of opening, s great asspetitios between tyke grower gad the speculator, use to fosse op the market to Imes the poets, said the other to lower the market to keep them abm, and so a great deal of false speculation be occasioned ?-s-1 think there roust likely would. _ _ . Du you know bow long any of the best foreign corn that you have 'ern, will keep, when warehoused ?—No; I no out know enough of the business of the foreign curs dealer. . . _ . In your opinion, is the capital estipliiell IN laud dial• itisblug?-1 Skink it is wasting very larch. Do you think it has already so such dirnioislicil as to in. jure the agriculture of the euouiry ?-1 think it has, to a eel gala degree. Do you nut think that if the pretent low prices of cora were lo continue, very serious injury must arise to Ike agri culture of the errantry ?-1 ►ace no doubt of it. Du you not suppose the prettent price to be, in a great degree, the effect of the very aheudan► harvest of the last year, soperadded to the rood harvest of the year pretediug —I think that hat had a great effect, but by nu meats, the only our. *hal is your opinion with reapect lo the present cora law, as • iwutectiou or lbe famines I—lt roust act as • pro tection to him, /*fund!. Du you mean a sufficient protection ?—lf it should raiz'e the price of cora up to 10s. a bushel, or 130 r. a quarter, I thick the farmer wuuld du very well st 'bat price. Du you thirik it will produce that effect ?—No; I do not think it will. can it produce any effect if we grew one own consump tion ?-1 apprehend, is that case, ■ny law of the sort would be a nullity. If swede not grow our own consumption, would it then be • sufficient protection ? —1 think, if Wellid nut grow our own consumption, it would have the immediate elect of raising the po ice of wheat to kOs. What would be its subsi (pent effect on the mar►et ?-8o bong so there was a deficiency of crop to maintain the coun try, the price would be kept up, I suppose, to the price of import. Is nut a price exceeding 80s. held by the Legislature to he, as the law now status's, the evidence of a deficiency for the supply of the cossumptitm of the county ?—I should consider the Act of the Legislature to mean so, certainly. Is nut the effect of the law, is a case where there is a defi cient crop, such as immediately to create a fall in the price; ■nd that the consequence must be, that the smaller the crop of the farmer, the lem price will lie receive raw his grain?-- All import of corn into the market must of course reduce the price. How then does the law operate as a protection to the farmer, in the case of a short crap?-1 apprehend it arts in this way, that whenever there is a deficient crop, the price must come up to 80s. before stay foreign corn can be thrown into the market to reduce it. Was out the prier of wheat, in the years 1819 1'3(11819, considerably higher than it is nu.?—Considerably higher; the gre it fell has been since this harvest. %fa* nut there during the whole of 1818, and the early part of 1819, an unlimited import of foreign corn, so a very great amount ?-1 •pprebend there was • very considerable im port, but 1 sin nut master of the details. MCP not it follow, that that foreign import did not pro. duce the effect of throwing down the price below 80s.?-11 bad nut that effect certainly at the time. Do you ands that a year ever occurred, in which the price of wheat was quoted at 80s. at home, in which the deficiency in the genteel growth was not such, that you could nut possibly estimate the extent of real profit to the fanner?-1 redninber aurae yews before the fall in the cur. rency, when with abundant crops we averaged a great deal more than 80s.; they were nut defective years ; it was then that land attained its highest price ; that the abundant pro. duce of the earth sold at the price of a deficient our, 1 think owing to the increase of the circulating medium. DO you think that the price of 275. fur oats, which is Axed as the average is the present corn Is. r is in proportion to the price of wheat and oilier grain ?—I think it hardly the common calculation has be►n, that barley should bear half the price of wisest, and •ets something:leis, not equal to the price of barley; I think it is too low fur oats, should say 355. Must not the market for barley be in a great measure re gulated by the price of oat,, from the circumstance of the distillery who are considerable purchasers of the iuferitiv • dent '., bares of b ar le y , d en ti ng in oats , ;., :trent when oats are cheaper !—The o n*, ho degree, regulates Cdr price of the uglier. cat .s: . 1 die Mali, 1821. •st JAWS Conelly. ..aq. ofinin: coifed in and ezeltalaai.

Does not the cis cumatance of American flour cosmog to the Visited kingdom, notwithatauding sine expenses of freight, prove that American floor is cheaper in America than loses floor is in Inland ?-1 do not think it does, for the reasons I have already mentioned to the Committee; I should not be surprised if there was • very conaiderabble loss on the whole of the imports tutu Liverpool, which I have already stated. Is it your opinios, then, that Ireland can now compete with America the supply of lour to Europe !—Certatuly not.

What is the expense of sending a quarter of wheat from ' Dahlia in Liverpool?—lt is •bout six altilliugs a spasttes,, socluding the charges of sale, &e. You stated ie your evidence on the 17th of April, that the twinge prier of the qualm of • heat its Ireland, was now 40.. Irish money ; is out that equal to 375. Euglists money Jost ab:7111 that. The price by the loadon Catalfe of the quarter of whew, that is the price in Fu land soil Wales, is 53.. • quieter ; now do you account fur the difference between the price of Iri,b and the price of English wheat, being a difference between 435. for tbe one, and 535. for the other, allowing tir. for freight ?—The quality tells the differeirce; 1 mentioned in • my former evidence, that the average quality of to a l tiweer England and Ireland differed shout three shillings • quar ter; that is, after the Isiah had been prepared fir rspurt, au I the preparation fur export will amount to about seven and a half per cent. at the present priers of corn; they vary in pro portion according as it is dear or cheap. IN the Irish barley much inferior to the hsrley of England ? --Yes, it is very inferior ; there is no article of groin that differs so much in quality from English core as the article of barley. Have - you ever compared the Scotch harleY and the Irish barley'—The Scotch barley is rather better; Irish i■ general is the inferior barley of the three. There is some as good barley grown he Ireland as ems he grown any where, is there not ?—That is very trilling in row• patio's In the general mass. I. it your opinion, that if American flour and Irish Gone were sohject to precisely Ilse same freight,•eed were convey d to any of the markets of Europe, that the Irish flour could there compete with the American fluor ?
