The weather here still continues very fine. .!:•veral
fanners in the neighbourhood have completed their wheat
harvest, and are now busily employed in getting in their
oats and barley. The wheats are of an excellent quali:y,
and the other crops promise to be equally good. But there
are still many fields of wheat in the weald, and under the
hills, that are scarcely forward enough for the sickle; and
oats in such a situation arc of course still less forward.—
Brighton l'oper.
The tine weather, for the last week, hers enabled the
farmers of this neigheurhood to realise all their wishes in
respect to the wheat harvest, which has been everywhere
happily secured in the finest possible condition. Some
uncommonly fine samples of this year's wheat were shows
in our market on t4aturelav, and disposed of at scren
shillings per bushel. The excellence of the quality, an:l
the abundance of the grain this year, has occasioned a de-
dine in the price of wheat throughout the kingdom, and
a considerably greater reduction is expected.—Taunf.s
Courier.

On Satnrilay some fine temples of new wheat were hi
our maiket ,and a large quantity was sold. The millers
speak in the highest terms of the quality of this yiar'a
wheat, which we understand weighs well, and makes ex-
' Mict flour.—llerqbr el Pap r.
The harvest has now become general. Every whey_•
around the husbandman is seen cutting, sheaving, ai.l
'carrying grain, and every thing promises abundance.—

The harvest has now become general in this netgl:bour-

Reapers wages continue very low. Flour has already fallen
considerably ; and excellent potatoes were sold in our
