KONEY MARKET. AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. An active demand for discount accommodation revails this morning both in Lombard-street and the Bank of England, and 9 per cent. is the inimum quotation in all quarters. This temporary ringency is produced by the exceptional circum ance of a very large number of Indian bills, sent ore some time since to purchase silver, becoming ae to-day ; but there is nevertheless a good supply capital in the market, and the great pressure is quently felt. The Bank of France yesterday raised its rate of iscount from 6 to 7 per cent. A decided advance took place in the foreign Echanges yesterday afternoon. About £5,000 in gold was taken into the Bank esterday. The stoppage was announced yesterday afternoon r Messrs. Croskey and Co., railway contractors. heir liabilities aro stated to amount to £lOO,OOO, ut the liquidation will depend upon the comple. on of some contracts now in progress, The National Bank of Italy has raised its rate of Iterest to 8 per cent. !Since Monday last the imports of specie have mounted to £336,500,and the exports to £437,900.

This was an action to recover £1 for making tour em broidered skirts, and a witness (who attended on behalf of the plaintiff) said she was an experienced dressmaker. The work was well done, and the price charged only reasonable. Defendant said that the skirts were quite valueless to him. They were to have fitted a full-grown woman, but when sent home would hardly do for a girl of twelve, The skirts were in court; would his Honour like to see them ? His Honour would be very glad to see them it they could assist the Court in arriving at a correct decision. Defendant then produced two rather elaborately embroi dered skirts, and said--My orders to the plaintiff were to make the skirts five yards round, but when they were sent home I found them only 31. Of course no lady could wear cueh a skirt. His Honour—Do you mean to say that 'it yards is not eufficien t. Defendant-_.I do. Now see, your Honour, and judge for yourself. Defendant here proceeded to measure the pattern skirt against one of those sent home by the plaintiff. His Honour (pointing to the smaller)—l consider that a very reasonable width indeed. (Laughter,) So far as lam concerned I much prefer it to the other. (Renewed laughter.) Defendant urged that there must be some allowance made for the expansion of crinoline. Mr Buchanan reminded the Court that some allowance must also be made for the usual coroners' inquests. Plaintiff said she had made the skirts quite full enough for the fashion, and she had offered to take them back at the wholesale price and keep them, but this was refused. Defendant said plaintiff had certainly sent back some of the stuff. Verdict for plaintiff with coats. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. STRANGE DELUSION.—Thomas Renfree, a respectably dressed man, about 50 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with annoying Miss Louisa Van Noorden, the eminent vocalist and pianist. The complainant said—l reside at 115, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, The prisoner had been in the habit of annoying us, by calling upon us and saying he had very important business with us. This morning about six o'clock he came over from his lodgings, which are exactly opposite our house, and, after violently knocking at the door, said—" I have come to see the lady of the house ; she has called me over and has informed me from the window that she cannot die without seeing me." The servant very properly refused to admit him, and he went away. About seven o'clock he came back again, and he said—" I have called to see the lady of the house ; she says she cannot die without seeing me. She tells me she had her throat cut by her husband last night, and that she must see me." He was refused admittance, and I then consulted the police as to the course I was to take supposing the prisoner called again, About 11 o'clock this morning he called again, and said there were three men on the roof of the house attempting to make a forcible entry, Prisoner—l said four. Mr Flower—Very well, but let the witness proceed. Prisoner—l went to the house because the lady was being murdered. She called out to 1119 to come and see her. Complainant—When the prisoner came on the last occa sion I acted on the suggestion of the police, and gave him into custody. Mr Flower—Now, prisoner, you can say what you please in answer to the charge. Prisoner— Well, I called at the house by desire of tho lady who was being murdered. She said she could not die until I had had an inte.view with her, and I think I ought to be allowed to see her. Mr Burnaby, chief clerk—Are there any of the defendant's friends present ? _ Complainant—Yes, I think there are several. Mr Flower—Do I understand you to assert that you saw the lady who is dying, and that she spoke to you ? Defendant—Yes. Mr Flower—When did you speak to h r ? Defendant—This morning. I spoke to her from the window. She said, "Oh Renfree speak to me, do speak to me. God bless you; do come over to me." Mr Burnaby—You did not know her name then, although she knew yours ? Defendant—Pardon me. I did not say I did. Mr Flower—That is of no importance. Go on with your statement. Defendant—Not important I I think it is. My only only object in walking up and down outside the house was to see the poor helpless creature. I have witnesses in court who can speak to my respectability. I felt it my du'y to interfere where murder was being committed. Mr Watts, a gentleman residing in the same neighbour hood, said he had known the defendant for 10 or 12 years as a most respectable tradesman and dealer in minerals in Great Russell-street. He had been lately given to habits of intomporanCe, and no doubt his mind bad been affected. Mr Flower—He seems to be of unsound mind at the present time. Defendant—That may be your opinion. It is not so. I again say I interfered from a strong sense of duty. Mr Flower (the police inspector) —You had better take the defendant to tho workhouse, where he will be seen by the surgeon. (r.the defendant) —you will go with the inspector ? Defendant--.Go with the inspector I I must obey the Law, MARYLEBONE. WESTON'S RETREAT.—To-day was fixed for the hearing of a summons against Mr. Kent, of 21, Highgate-road, better known as IVeston's Retreat. The gravamen of the charge which he had to answer was "That he did procnre and produce, or make use of a certificate, the matters or things therein certified, or some of them being false and particularly that he, the said William James Kent was the real resident holder and occupier of the dwelling house and premises in Highgats road (some other person being in fact the holder and occupier thereof, and that he did make use ;of the certificate for the purpose of obtaining a license for the sale of ale, beer, and porter on the said promises, knowing the said matters, or some of them, to be false." Mr Gordon, solicitor, who appeared for Mr Copestake, said Mr Kent had agreed to leave the " Retreat," and therefore Mr Copestake, who had taken out the summons, wished to stay all further proceedings, This was acceded to Mr Mansfield, and the summons was withdrawn, 127 i 1371 1111 3 1051 I 1291 1.041 I I) 75 81i 2} 2 8 i 1 Balinese dont 100 i I a THE STTN, LONDON, SATITADAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1861. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN TILE STREETS.—George Smith and John Murphey, two bulky lads, were charged before Mr Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner in Wardour-street, last night. Fisher, 334 A, said that about 9 o'clock last night he saw the two prisoners quite naked running in Wardour street, pursued by about 200 persons. Ho took both pri soners into custody. Mr Knox inquired whether the prisoners were sober and quite naked, and the constable said they were both sober and only had a piece of rag round each of their loins. Harry James Bristow, the gate porter at St. James's Workhouse, said he was called the previous evening to the gate and told the tramps were tearing up their clothes. He went to the police-station to ask what he was to do, and while there the prisoners were brought in. Mr Knox inquired whether they had applied to be ad - mitted. Bristow could not say. He had admitted 26 persons to the casual ward. Every evening a number of tramps were in the habit of coming and lying outside the workhouse and amusing themselves by singing indecent songs. Mr Knox said it was absurd to suppose that two great bulky fellows like the prisoners could be permitted to run naked through the streets. He should order them to find one bail each for £5 for a month. THAMES. DARING WATOR RonsnRIES or SAILORS.—A man named Williams, with a female, about 20 years of age, were brought before Mr Partridge, charged with robbing a sailor, named Charles Astrop, of his watch and chain. The prosecutor stated that he was in Ratcliff-highway when he met the prisoners, who spoke to him, and who asked him to give them something to drink. While he was talking to them a soldier came up. After a short time they went away together till they came to Now-court, where he was pushed into a house by the female prisoner, where they went into a room. He had not anything to drink there, but somehow or other ho got overcome, and fell to sleep. When he awoke he missed his watch and chain and some money. The money he did not care for, but ho was sorry for the loss of his watch and chain. He made his escape from the house, and gave information to tt police constable, Policeman 'Walker, 488 K, said that he saw the prose cutor pushed into the house, and that in a few minutes after he heard a disturbance in the house, When tho prosecu tor came out he stated that he had been robbed of his watch and chain, and that he had also lost his waist• coat, The prosecutor here remarked that he had lost his waist coat before he got in the hou,e, Kenney, 390 K, stated that while be was outside the house, he heard the prisoners say, " We've got the watch."

The male prisoner swore that he would knock his (prose cutor's) b--- heal cff. Air Partridge remarked that he should commit the pri. soners for trial, and he directed that the constable should re subreeakied. The prisoners were committed.

WESTMINSTER. PITIATLE CONDITION OF AN AGED MOTTIER,--William Moffett, a man 33 years of age, was charged with serious annoyance and wilful damage at the house of his mother Mrs Susan Moffett, 33 Berwick-street, Pimlico. _ The mother, who had the appearance of a decayed gen tlewoman, and who is upwards of 70 years of age, said that she appeared against her own son, but ho drove her to it by his own misconduct, and she felt it was necessary for her own protection. He was constantly annoying her, and last night wilfully broke a pane of glass and so disturbed her lodgers that she feared she would lose them. Mr Selfe—Does he live with you? Complainant—No, I should have liked him to have done so had his conduct been worthy ; it would have been a great protection and comfort to a person of my years to have had him with me, but I could not; he is constantly annoying me in different ways. Mr Selfe—What is the cause of his conduct ? Complainant—Drunkenness, lam sorry to say. Tie was was brought up to a good business and is a capital work man ; he can and does earn a great deal of money and spends it on drink, and then he comes and annoys me. Mr Selfe—ls that often ? _ Complainant—Frequently; he comes at all hours and disturbs my peace. I have but a short time loft me here, and I should much like to be at rest. lie came last night intoxicated, and because I would not admit him threw a stone through one of my windows. Mr Selfe—What do you say, defendant, to such conduct towards your aged mother. Defendant—l will promise not to trouble her any more. Mr Selfe—Why not take the pledge and keep it. It seems all your misconduct arises from your drunkenness. Complainant—lt does; he would be well enough if he kept sober. Defendant—l will take the pledge, I assure you I will. Mr Selfe—l will let you have an opportunity of doing so. I will give you another chance, but pray understand me. If you are brought here again, take my assurance that I'll send you to prison without a fine. I shall require you now to enter into recognisances of £lO io keep the peace for six months, and mind you don't break it. Defendant—l won't. I'll take the pledge. MARKETS—This Day.

THE CLYDE PORT3.—ThO Customs revenue Col. lscted at the Clyde ports in August showed considerable steadiness, although affected by the reduction in the sugar duties. At Greenock the amount collected was £104,0271 against £128,528 in August. 1803, and £121,276 in August, 1862. At Glasgow the receipts were £87,378, against £57,038 in August, 1863, and 179,502 in August, 1862. The returns for Pott Glasgow are not yet to hand. The exports of Scotch pig iron in the first eight months of this year amounted to 444,976 tons, against 408,230 tons in the cor responding period of 1803, and 404,232 tons in the corres ponding period of 1862, ST. LEGER PROPHECIES. (Front Bell's Life.> To sum up, we cannot look beyond General Peel, Blair Athol, Miner, Ely, and Cambuscan for the actual winner. This lot it is hard to choose between, the two first named being particularly troublesome; and the difficulty may best be got over, perhaps, by sticking to " public form" and BLAIR ATHOL. ORANGE BLOSSOM. Swift as the plunge of cataract Comes out the Melbourne bay. That rush terrific, blessed by Fate, Atones for Epsom sins ; By all that's good and fortunate, The llawkshead hero wins! To Glasgow's Earl, the oft deceived, Those tempest shouts reveal A lifetime's hops at last achieved By gallant GENERAL PEEL ! THE GEM. Now, Aldcroft, lay on with the whalebone And rouse up his pluck with your heel ; No just as he did in the Derby, He swerves from the lash and the steel.

BEACON. Finally, according to all we have seen this year, the contest ought to lie between Blair Athol, Miner, and Gene ral Peel ; but as the latter has given indications that he is not gifted with the staying powers necessary to get a mile ,and three-quarters, I believe we shall see BLAIR ATROL effect the double victory, and that his most dangerous op ponent will be The Miner. RHYMING RICHARD. Hark I I hear the solemn signal—they have vanished into space : Who, upon their re• appearance, shall be foremost in the race ? Claremont's beaten—Peon done for—gallant Ely fails in speed— Cracks the whip o'er Bowes's chesnut—vain Cambuscan's boasted breed ; Miner struggles, but is conquered, bears the whalebone, tastes the steel ; Flashing on into the vanguard comes the striding General Peel, Now, Blair Athol I now bestir thee I answer to the quick ening hand I Stride for stride the pair are raeeing past the palpitating Stand, Swells the shouting into thunder-peals, and breaks and dies away, " Green and yellow"—stout BLAIR ATHOL bears the honours of the day 1 COCK ROBIN.

From the way that they've heaved, much shall I be deceived If Baragah turns out the winner that day; So, with song now I've greetod the favourites defeated, And Ely will win every yard of the way To the front, then, my own pick, my "beautiful Ely," To whom " Hotspur" and I so consistently cling ; 'Tie Cus'ance and JI LT we all should stand freely— 'Tis their joint success I triumphantly 8:13g ; PEEPING Tom, Are all in front; and as they pass The Stand, you'll hear the shout, " John Osborne wins !"

Suffice to say, the Red House reached, that well-known voice of Steele Exclaims in his stentorian tones, "A level 'thou' on Peel I" But ere the words have left his lips, he would they were tt forgot, For at the distance dying away, the General's bolt is shot ; But Whitewall's chance lookq rosy yet, for Ashmall's close at hand, Now "Baragah," "Blair Athol" now, re-echo through the Stand ; They struggle home, both Stockwell's sons, a game and resolute pair, But Snowden waits at Ashmall's gitths, and "cops" a length on Blair. So, you that have cash "lump it on," and you that havn't _ —borrow ; Believe me, you will not have cause to rue it on the mor. row; And when you see BLAIR ATHOL win on Doncaster's old moor, Remember who 'twas told you right, and think of " Trou badour," (From the Field) OBSERVER. In conclusion, there will no be important changes in the market before the race comes off, and which may affect the chances of several animals now in the background. But if t h e cracks of the day remain in their positions, and run as they did in the Derby, I have a strong preposses &on that the increased time, and the change in the course, will be so beneficial to GENERAL PEEL as to enable him to verify the opinion both of his late and present trainer, of being by far the beAt three-yr - old of the season, and the most probable winner of ;,:26 St. Leger. Next to him I thrill( MINER will be discovered; in spite of my doubts as to his staying, I should advise my reajers to avoid tak ing any liberties with BLAIR ATHOL. (From the Sunday Times.) We have a very great respect for Blair Athol and the overlooked PEON, but we cannot reconcile ourselves to the idea that either of them will make GENERAL PEEL lower his colours next Wednesday, for he will have much greater advantages in the north than ever he had in the south, where he not only sweated profusely in his preliminary gallop for the blue riband, but was ridden to a stand still in the race for that much envied trophy. (From the Sporting Life.) AUGUR. I have now examined every horse's prospect of success, and consider the struggle confined to four—Blair Athol, General Peel, Ely, and Miner—and, being bold enough to anticipate the judge, I shall venture to prognosticate the three first positions as under—llLAlß ATHOL 1, GENERAL PEEL 2, ELY 3. ORLANDO. Yet the Pitman never quitting, still is sitting, still is sitting, On the grate as stern as Pluto, and he raps just as before. And his eyes have all the blinking of a fellow that'd been drinking, And he casteth still the shadows of the ashes on the floor, And ceaselessly he croaketh, as he flings the shadows o'er, "Back THE MINER —nothing more 1" (From the Era.) TOUCHSTONE. We are strongly prepossessed in favour of Blair Athol and General Peel, and are most inclined to Ely, Miner, Baragah, and Coast Guard of the remander, From the fact of Baragah having been so recently amiss, and the demonstration that has apparently set in so strongly against him we do not think him so taking as the other three, one of whom, wa think, is bound to finish amcng the leading trio. But they are not so worthy of notice as Blair Athol and General Peel, and, in accordance with our usual cus tom, we shall thus anticipate the fiat of the judge :—GENE RAL PEEL, 1; BLAIn ATHOL, 2 ; ELY, 3. TILE " STABLE MOUSE. I will now, if you please, "cut for the lead," and this is the conclusion to which the Stable Mouse has come as to the St Leger of 1864 :—TIIE MINER, 1; GENERAL PEEL, 2 ; BLAIR ATROL, 3. (From the Weekly Times.) FLY-BY-NIGHT. The pace is certain to Le a cracker, consequently I COL% eider that the Miner for a place investment is almost a cer ainty ; and, in conclusion, I shall expect to seo GENERAL PEEL let, BLAIR ATHOL 2d, MINER 3d. (From Ehe _lllustrated Sporting News.) We believe Blair Athol to be the best horse of his year over Epsom, but on the flat at Doncaster, that fine stride and splendid action of General Peel's will be lbs. in his favour, and he has had a long rest, nothing taken out of him, but all the go that the skill and care of the " Wizara of the North" could infuse into him he has received at his hands, and Lord Glasgow runs his horses to win whether the money is on or not. We must therefore assign the proud position of winner of the Great St. Leger of 18G4 to Gcneral Peel. OMEGA. Now the General tiring in the very last stride, Allows Challoner one hope on Blair Athol. The excitement is great, and I here relate, A dead heat is made by fine riding ; Master Richard is third, a neck from this pair, While Baragah is beaten halt a length here. They run off the race, a fiver I lay out with Steel, Glasgow is hailed the winner with his GENERAL PEEL, (From the Eporting Our cogitations lead us to believe that General Peel's most dangerous opponents and immediate attendants will be found to be Baragah, Biair Athol, Ely, Miner, Totten ham and Brindisi.

In the course of the afternoon the whole of the parties had partaken rather freely of drink, and in this state commenced to squabble amongst themselves, the quarrel being chiefly between M'Donald and hie sister (the wife of Tutler). In the ad joining house—divided only from Tutler's by a thin wooden partition—resided a wire-worker named Wynn and his wife. The latter hearing the disturbance and the cries of the woman as though in distress, rushed out f her house into Tutler's and endeavoured to preven M'Donald from inflicting further violence upon his °sister. Just at this moment Tutler had interfere, and was closing with M•Donald, when Mrs. Wynn, still trying to make peace, got in between them. She had hardly done so, however, when her husband heard her call Frank (his Christian name) twice, and upon hastening to e)linrosaeo q wife he was horror-struck at tiai,a; be ying dead at the feet of the combatants. So short a time had the whole affair taken, indeed, that according to Wynn's statement his wife was scarcely more than two minutes oat of their own house when he het.rd htr call him by name in the manner described. Mr Rayne, 'police surgeon, was immediately sent f , r but life was quite extinct, the poor woman ha vi ng app .rently died instantly. Th e most myste rious p a, ,of the me tames is that there are no marks of viol Tice on the bed/ of the deceased to account for death, wtach at present can only be referred to one of two causes; either that she has •eceived in the course of the conflict a severe blow upon or being probably subject to disease of the EOM ) vital part, hex t, her death may have been accelerated by the agitation auci ;xeicernent produced by the occurrence, SECOND EDITION.

Since the middle of the pest week there has lro n a very great change in the weather, and altogether it is now of a much lower temperature. At an early hour on Monday morning a strong gale sprung up from the south-west, and continued till evening, when it fell, and the wind shifted to the north-west, During Monday night there was keen frost, which was succeeded yesterday morning by heavy rain, which had not abated by 4 o'clock p.m. Owing to the high wind of Monday, a great deal of ripe wheat and oats was shaken, and stooks were blown down in the dis tricts around Perth, especially to the westward. In the orchards in the Carse of Gowrie, and in the parish of Rhynd, on the banks of the Tay and Earn, vast quantities of half-ripe apples and pears have been blown off the trees, and there can be no doubt that the tacksmen of the orchards will suffer severely in a pecuniary point of view. Most of the wheat, barley, and oats in the Perth district the Carse of Gowrie, and Lower Streathearn, have been cut down. Barley, where thrashed, is more than an average yield, and is of fine quality. Oats, however, are deficien t both in weight and straw, Harvest has commenced in the late districts of the Ochills, Oogiealmond. Collace, &e., but the exact produce of the cereal crops cannot be as yet esti mated. The recent rains hnve given the potatoes a fresher look, and they are as yet free from disease. Turnips have likewise improved, but are somewhat thin on stiff and clayey soils. If wet weather continues, pasture and clover grass may yet give a good bite to cattle and sheep in the fall of the year. INNERLEITHEN.—Within the last week the weather has completely changed. Rain, which was so long earnestly longed for, has come at last, and is threatening to continuo to come in greater abundance than is at all desirable at thi a season. On Wednesday showers began to fall, and durin g the rest of last week there was rain more or less daily. The showers were always moderato, and cutting was not much interrupted, but carrying was retarded. Nearly the whole of the crop on the low ground has been cut, but very little has yet been carted to the barnyard, so that a very large quan • tity of grain stands at present exposed in the stook. The rain has done it little or no harm as yet ; but, from so long a period of drought having previou sly prevailed, farmers are becoming somewhat uneasy about the ingathering of their crop, as, now that the weather has broken, it is much to be feared that it may continue unsettled for a co n siderable time. A furious gale of wind, which began on Sunday night, and continued all yesterday, has done con-- siderable damage to the standing crop. A good deal of grain has been shaken from the ripe portion, and on h igh places where the crop is yet green it has been much twisted and storm-broken. The wind fell this morning, and has been succeeded by rain, which has fallen heavily all day. The cut grain, which the wind laid quite flat, must be thoroughly soaked. The ground is now pretty well satu rated, although it has received no superfluous moisture, as is evidenced by the rivers having sustained very little rise —and dry weather is now desirable for the ingathering of the grain crops. Since the rain came, pastures and other green crops show signs of reviving.—September 6. BERWICK,—In this locality the weather for the last fortnight, with the exception of occasional slight showers, have been most favourable for harvest work, and farmers have been busy in all directions cutting and securing their crops. The general ripening of the grain, and the suitable nature of the weather, have allowed great progress to be made in the way of cutting, more especially in the neighbourhood of Norham and Coldstream, where the great bulk of the crops is now in stook, and but little remains to be cut. In many places a great deal of the wheat is stacked and thatched ; and with another week of dry weather, little would remain to be done in that way. Tho crops every where appear to be a fair average both in quality and quan tity. On Sunday night a strong north-west wind set in nd continued to blow hard all Monday; but it doe s not seem to have done much harm to the standing grain. The greater portion of the crops in stook, however, has been blown down, and will cause farmers a good deal cI addi tional labour setting it up again. Turnips, no twithstand i ng the dryness of the season, are everywhere looking well and with a few more showers may yet not fell far short of an average crop. On light soils, however, they are thin and backward. The irjurious influence of the long-con tinued drought appears most conspicuously on pastures. Potatoes are generally an abundant crop, but have the ap pearance of being largely affected by the disease. GALASHIELS.— On all the early farms harvest operations so far as cutting is concerned, aro finished, or nearly so; and with few exceptions, should the weather prove at all favour able, on the later farms cutting will be finishel by the end of the present week. The very fine weather in the last fortnight of August was alike favourable for ripening and cutting, and assisted by the general use of the reaping ma chines the crops have been cut cheaply and expeditiously. Oats are generally below an average. Barley is average in bulk and excellent in quality. The little wheat grown in the district is reported an average crop ; all the varieties are early; the fields whitened this season with astonishing rapi dity. On some of the early farms a considerable proportion of the crops aro secured in the stockyard, but in general fully two-thirds are yet in the fields. With the beginning of September the weather altered, from the hot sunshine of August to alternate shower and breeze, and yesterday th w ind increased to a perfect gale, laying all standing corn nr on f ar ms occupying hilly positions. Moat 1 flat with the ground, and to - day (Tuesday) it is a conatan p our ing heavy rain, with every appearance of contihnouwanfcaer. t Up till this season it was considered problematical th e reaping machine could be beneficia ll y oduced in this district are thus situ ated, and the machine has been so generally introduced as t o finally and satisfactorily of i t the farms s ettle the question. W e have made spec i al inquiries at some of the leading farme rs in the district, and got the un iform reply, where the crops are not laid, that the ma chino makes b etter work than either scythe or sickle. B°is s elf -delivering is the ono mostly used in the d general satisfacti an . N ear ly all the f arm s o f an y extent have had one machine at work this sea son. We have reports from Rink, Netherbarns, Holy • b us h, Fairnilee, Newhall, and other places , and all g i ve Siasmtruiceti, and gives testimony to the value and utility of the machine. Mr Elliott, of Newhall, has cut the whole of his crop this sea son with the ordinary farm workers and only one extra man. Mr Haldane, of Fairoilee, reports that with the crops all standing the whole harvest work may be got through with the home workers. In some farms ff , wcr hands are avail able for harvest work than on others, hut the machine effects an immense saving of manual labour. THE CHAMPION PLOUGHMEN OF ENGLAND.
