THE DAYS NEWS

Politics at present give way to matters of a more
local and commercial character, and no matter how
anxious we may be for the re•assembling of Parlia-
ment, the completion of the harvest seems to be
the great and prominent topic of the day. The
movements of the barometer are watched with

much anxiety, and the " rogues in grain" are not
idle as to the future range of prices of wheat, oats,
and flour. Alluding to this topic, our cotemporary,
the Bankers' Circular says :—" We learn from
several quarters that the effect of the recent storms
has already proved highly injurious, and that the
damage done to the outstanding crops will be very
serious. But the uncertain condition of the
weather has kept the market in a state of great
suspension, and although sales could not have
been effected yesterday without submitting to a

reduction of 2s or 3s per quarter, there was no
actual change, as both buyers and sellers were
anxious to feel more certainty as to the probable
range in prices, which cannot yet be estimated with
any degree of accuracy. The opinion which gene
rally obtains credit amongst persons well able to
judge of such matters is, that the present high
prices cannot long be maintained : and that even
should the quality of our crops be injured by
unfavourable weather, the imports of foreign grain
will prove sufficient to reduce the general average
price considerably below what it has been during
the lest two years "
The invitation addressed by the Premier to the
Parliamentary heads of departments, and the chief
supporters of Government in the House of Com-
mons, with respect to the measures of legislation
they may propose to bring forward next sess
likely to produce important and useful result

What may be called the constructive portion of the
cork of legislation is not well done in Parliament.
r cession afforded ample proof of the fact. The

th regard to the more important
accomplished by the select coin-

reports of some of those
committees no doubt very useful measures will be
elaborated for nest session. The careful and early
consideration which it is intended by Lord
Palmerston shall be given to the preparation of
such measures as are to be introduced with the
sanction and support of Government, will ensure
their completeness and fitness to effect the several
improvements contemplated. It will be a guarantee
aaainst crude legislation upon important
and tend to the economising of valuable time
Yesterday's Observer, referring to this matter, says
" Lord Palmerston's proposal is, that all such
',e heads of the several departments
_aent may desire to introduce, shall
be prepared and submitted to a committee of
ministers before the close of the year, so that suf.
