Seort.stm.—Harvest of *rations, where ripeness is
fully attained, have made rapid progress during the past
week, the weather being exceedingly favourable. Over the
oesst side district' of Banffshire, and in the lower grits of
Morayshire, there is scarcely a farm upon which some has
not teen cut ; generally ell the harvest heads have been
called in, net • few farmers commencing with full rtrength
on Monday while In many came considerable advenceetent
has been made in cutting, some in Morayshire booing en
immense number of stocks with a good deal *tailed. The
crepe are not nearly so heavy in the lower districts of Bang-
time as last year, but in Morayshire they are expeeted to
bulk above the average of masons. The potato die.ee hue
again made it. appearance within the putt week in 'Aaron'
parts of the county of Banff, Moray, and Aberdeen. awl hag,
stnse it became observable, made rapid progress.—Sogemars.
YORlBlltßz.—The weather in this neighbourhood (Selby)
continues extremely fine. Harvest operaticua prom*. very
rapidly, and the grain generally is in alpha oundition. But
while the cereal crops are all that could be desired, we regret
to say that the potatoes, whith a short time ago proteired
so well, have suffered most furiously from the late h.vy
nits, es well as from the epidemic. Three are scores of
acres in this neighbourhood that have been under water,
many of which will scarcely pay for gathering.—Lade
Neretrry.
WORCIISTERSRISE.—Since our hat the weather hen been
of a most propitious character for heaved operetta., and in
a short time the whole of the grain crops will have been
Cir. The new wheat, mart. bee ea. to imarket, has
g Id
generally In good condition, though some of the farmers
last Settuday produced samples of spurted white wheat, and
one or two of spurted red. Some of the new cheat was as
hard and se dry . old wheat, and was mistaken by the
dealers as such. The beat during the last few days hr
been exceesive. The thermometer fell on Saturday and Sun-
day, and elm on Monday till the evening, but a change then
took place, and it has since been steadily rising. On Satur-
day and Monday nights distant lightning wee eleerved in
the west sbont ten o'clock. but no rein bee fiJlen in this dis-
trict, though we have had heavy dews. The potatoes ore
seld to have suffered greatly from diemee :nee the lest
and particularly in the neighbourhoods of Evesham,
, end Kidderminster.
thIAZI.—Tbe barred in this district has here gathered
in, on the whole, in excellent condition. The barley only
has been Mimed by the recent storm,. but that net to en ex-
tent to be seeker. The straw Is discoloured. but the grain is
net "growy," ea might be supposed. The elm. crap Is one
of the heaviest known for year* pest. 'This has been har-
vested, on the whole, in excellent condition. Plenty arras
everywhere to exhibit itself, sufficient to make up the ded-
dewy of last year. Thrashing machines are now buy in
every direction, end thenew wheat is being brought into mar
kat unquietly r possible by the agriculturists of the neigh-
bourhood. Altogether the food prospects look remarkably
well, if we take this district ea an illustration; and that
*bandana is general—not only in England. but throughout
the world—seems to be pretty freely acknowledged; and
there lea good prospect therefore of the markets renaming
at a moderate figure.-- West Beware Gazette.
