AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

Thick, muggy, and close weather opened the
week, such as would duce all corn to go up in somewhat
poor condition, with wind mostly south-west. Tuesday
continued warm sad close, thermometer up to 70 degrees,
and another day devoid of breezes to dry the grain before
being stacked. Our advice* were coomptently net on the
whole so favourable. From the West Riding of Yorkshire
it was stated—" 0. Saturday and Sunday we and not much
rain, but the days were not drying; however, yesterday
being a really fine sunny day, • good deal of wheat would
be secured in pretty good condition, but not really dry.
This alteration is a thoroughly wet one, and will prevent
any mon carting for a time. Much of our barley will
be rather warm." From Suffolk, of the same day, it was
reported—" The harvest is finished in this district, with
the exception of • few fields of beam and barley,
and the whole crop has been saved in very good condition."
From Lincolnshire, on the same day, the accounts were
favourable, saying —" We have another week of splendid
weather for the ingathering of the harvest, and as our
(inners have been very active in their operations, the pee •
cipal part of all grain in this district will be secured during
the present week."
During Tuesday night and early on Wednesday moroing a
goo of rain had fallen, and the wind being round to
the north, the temperature was much lower ; indeed, with
the change so sudden that the thermometer was down to to
degrees. This was all the better, as it might check
sprouting of any grain exposed in the fields. From Notting.
hainshire, on that day, our advises state :—" The weather
bee been unsettled since our last report. Fairly in the week
a considerable quantity of 'min was secured, but there
wee a heavy fall of rain last night, and harvest work
has again been delayed. The crops are turning
out much better than was expected." From Scotland
advice, were more favourable about the weather, and
harvesting of barley had fairly commenced. "The farmers
=mod unfavoerably of their wheat crop, but seem
with their spring corn." From Worcestershire, of the
same (ley , the reports state, " Most of the core in this die-
trict is herreste& The weather during the last few days
has bum unsettled."
On Thursday morning the wind was still northerly. and
the weather autumnal, thermometer 60 degrees ; the day
proved more favourable, and some corn in the later districts
was carried in moderate condition. la the earliest counties
there is not much remaining out of white corn.
Friday morning was autumnal; mid-day fine and sunny ;
good for harvesting in the late districts ; wind S.W., and
warmer. From the North of Lincolnshire it was remarked
" Harvest gets on very slowly, the weather being what we
call catching. There is no absolute injury done to the grain,
but it is difficult to secure in anything like decent condition,
and dry wheat must be a scuts article in this county for a
time—at all eveete, until it has become dried in the stack.
Barley will be found somewhat discoloured. Altogether, I
don't think our prospects are so good as they were ; for, if
the corn out of condition Ds forced on the market, I expect
to find low prices for it." In this view of the crop in that
locality, it dose not appear prudent then to bring the grain
out until the condition has been improved.
The weather on Saturday was warmer, with occasional
sun. Barometer falling ; thermometer 67 deg. ; night cloudy.
More breezy to-day than all the week previously—from the
south west.
Summing up these advice* and reports of the crops gene-
rally, there is nothing in them to induce forced oaks, and,
in spite of such tremendous receipts of American stuff, fresh
qualities will be wanted throughout the season in every
county of the United Kingdom. The new crop will thus go
freely into consumption as brought to market.—Mark Lane
Erpreu.
