tone of the last agricultural reports. The reaping of
the harvest is fast drawing to a close, even in the
most remote and backward districts. The yield of the
cereal and green crops generally is said to be every-

to be any doubt that the loss by the potatoe blight
will not exceed that of last year. The weather con-
