SUSSEX AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The hot, forcing weather we had at the com-
mencement of the month just pared has brought the crops
forward in an extraordinary manna— at the end of May
there seemed every probability of • ;ether backward har-
vest, but now there is every prospect that reapiny, will be
general by the lint week in August ; some of the early
7'elavera will be fit to cut by the 22nd of July, if the wea-
ther should continue favourable. The aewepepis contain
the most kiowing accounts of the " magnificent maim of
wheat," but we have not heard a single practical fanner say
that he expects more than an average crop ; in many mesa
not even that. There can be no doubt that the wheat
has improved wonderfully, and them are many plums that
promise an abundant yield, but these is also a great deal
that is very thin, and there certainly cannot be a heavy
bulk of straw. Many persons have no better ground tor
forming an opinion of the crops than what they got from
riding along the roads or on the railway, but to form say-
thing like a correct estimate they require to be very clank
examined. We yesterday looked over some six or mem
hundred acres of wheat, out of whish we certainly saw
one hundred acres that will not produce more than
half an average crop, chiefly owing to the deficiency
of plant; a great deal is much infested with poppy,
which upon light land is a very great nuimanoe, and
very difficult to get rid of. At the end of another month
we shall be able to form a more decided opinion of our
prospects, but the wheat has yet a very critical time to lo
through. Oats, on the down farms, are looking remarkably
well ; the barley not so good, but there am some fine
Meow to be found. Peas promise to be an abundant crop,
but we hear many complaints that the beans are attacked
by the dolphin. Some progress has been made in hay-
making. There is generally a heavy crop of clover, but the
meadows will produce hut a single crop, and as yet very
little has been eat. The grass a backward this year, and
we expect that we shall have to begin harvest before hay-
making is over.—Brighton (Jazdte.

236 auks; arrivals, 451 casks.

OOTTON.—lavnaroot, JULY A very large business
Las spin been done in oar market, with a still dearer ten-
dency. The vales are 25,000 bales—including 15,500 Ame-
rican, at 6d. to 9d. ; 8,000 Surat, at 4ad. to 6id. ; 1.500
Egyptian, at 70. to 11d.—of which 15,000 are for specu-
lation and export. The week's import is 70,784 balm

RIDES AND LEATREEL—The transactions in leather
during the past month show an increase as compared with
those of May, more particularly during the last fortnight.
The demand, however, is still of the same restricted cha-
racter, equal in mast articles to the supply, so that there
has not been any further accumulation of stock, and .uf-
&lent to maintain generally the quotations of last month.
The causes we named in our last circular as ex:reising a
depressing influence on trade universally are by no means
removed, but the fine weather affording so good a prospect
for the approaching harvest imparis a better feeling in the
market, and tends to the expectation of an increased con-
sumption. In raw goods the most important feature of the
month is the large arrival of South American hides, of
which the stock ts nearly doubled : other imports are con-
siderable, and, with the exception of East India kips, prices
have tended downwards. Exceedingly low quotations are
still given for hides in the North American markets, so
that continued ship-Anti may be expected Cameo to
Europe. The demand has been on the whole about an
average of the Est few months. At Leadenhall yesterday
DO alteration was apparent from the market-days of the
previous non*. The supply of fresh leather was moderate,
and rather more business was doing at about previous
prima—(Prom the Circular of Messrs. T. J. and T.
I Powell.)
