There has been a continuance of weather suitable it

found to emceed when planted thus late, during the past _fit.

these are of • mellow and kindly quality. There di.
am some Sue samples also to be found in Norfolk. The us.
brewers of Burtou•on-Trent will have tested all the best
sorts, as they were first in the market, and took more freely St.

deliveries gave it as their opinion that prices must go down
from the highest point five or six shillings per quarter. But •
they were the first to cause improvement in value.

period when the seed is wanted. Steamboats bring them in 17
