AGRICULTURAL 1208P2078.

The week opened again with some heavy rain,
which continuad tor a day or two. It afterwards became
drier, the temperature gradually falling ; winds variable, but
moat prevalent from the north end east. Until Friday the
cold oteedily increased, and during the night of that day
there was a sharp fro.; with every appeanume of winter
se In early. This often, however, is not lasting when
it so soon. la many puts of the north there have
been alright falls of now. This sudden chutes will be
favourable to the rogues of field work, and a greater ad-
umotment has been made during the present than for many
weeks peel. All choke sorts of mod sampke of wheat
have been ;u great demand, obtaining comparatively
high prices, as the determination of the farmers
° to he to have the beet. If any sort
should have failed during the past season, that is sure
to be discarded, and not sated for, this. Amongst the whits
descriptions, Chidham and Rough Chef still have the great-
est run • some choice samples of both are to be found,
although such are not so plentiful as in most masons. These
had got so forward before the hot weather of July set is, that
they souped the premature ripening which was the great
complaint of many of the red drecriptions, that were also
booked down by the heavy storms. This tended materially
to make the quality worse.
In Scotland there has been an animated trade for their 6ne
qualities for seed wheat, and price is not so much an object as
the securing very choke qualities. More of these descrip-
tions are likely to come southward this season than usual,
such having succeeded so well in the put harvest. There
has been nothing cheering in the state of the markets for mil-
lers' wheat daring the week, the demand running mainly on
ens qualities. Semodary sorts havo been purchseed slowly,
and occasionally at rather lower Wan. The deliveries, how-
ever, have to been large, bar more than might have bowel-
putted during the autumnal seed-time, the more so es prices
ere far from being eatiefectory. The fact is, the previous
improvement was acceptable to the growers end many of
them were anxious to take advantage of the rice—showing •
feeling that, with the quantity of old in their handsthey are
fearful any enhancement may nut to permanent. This very
anxiety Ueda often to give a sudden check to the trade. The
millers have • greet run, now, in supplying the manufactured
artist*, from the scarcity of foreign samples either from
Frame or America From the States, too, there have only
bees moderate shipments made to Great Britain, and more to
have the quality this season tested than foe profit, in the an-
ticipation that, when Its enperiority has been ascertained, ex-
tensive orders may be given for it.
Barley is much better to place, and for choice malting
Talkies there has been an animated demand. Prices in the
agricultural distrkrs have ranged from 42a. to 49.. per qr.
The cold weather has set more midtown at work, but in
some parts of SofE.dk a sufficiency cannot be obtained. Of
the intermediate deecriptions an abundance can be found, but
these sell worse than any other sort., being scarcely good
enough for second-rate malt, which does not appear to be
wanted at any market. The run on all articles is for the
beet qualities, as ultimately cheapest. Grinding samples sell
more for the use of farmers at home, and indeed they con-
sume so much that it primate the quantity being beyond the
demand. Thus sorts command 22e. to 245. per gnu ter,
according to weight, with • brisker trade than for any other
quiddies.
There seems nothing cheering in the " Agricultural Pros-
pects" at lite reseal moment, the prices remaining generally
so vary low. The averages of wheat and barley are as nearly
as passible the Name as last year, whilst both beans and peas
are about Is. per bushel lower, although the quality of both
is very good. The cold weather may improve price and de-
mand for boiling peat—Lark-lees&prem.
