Agricultural Prospects.

(From the Mark Lane Express.)

A sudden and favourable change took place the first day
of the week ; a bright sun commenced to shine ; wind N.E.
Monday was breezy and fine; an excellent day for the
pushing forward of haymaking, and much progress made.
In Essex, the cutting of peas and oats commenced : a sample
of the former article was shown, but the yield not promis-
ing. Tuesday morning opened thick and hazy; but again
the day became bright and fine. The accounts from Lan-
cashire on that day state—" For the past ten days there has
been an absence of rain ; the temperature hot and forcing,
but the nights still sharp and cold, The dry weather has
admitted of the hay crop being well gathered up, so fares it
has been saved. The produce, however, with feic exceptions,
proves, as was expected, very light, and this description of
forage will be scarce,and proportionately dear. The late high
winds and wet do not appear to have done much injury to
the wheat plant ; but the general conviction is that the
yield will be under an average, and greatly deficient in
quantity and quality from the crop of last year." The
same day, from the West Riding of Yorkshire, it was re-
marked : "With a continuance of cool, dry weather, our
growing crops are progressing steadily, and although
much of the wheat is thin as expected, and spring corn
short in the straw, they assume healthy appearance gene-
' rally. Haymaking is proceeding Ateadily, and there will

be small stacks to look at in this neighbourhood when got
up." From Suffolk, on that day, the reports were more
unfavourable than any yet received, running thus :
" Since our last we have had five days of dull, cold No-
vember weather, and two bright scorching days of July
wer::cher. The farmers are general in their complaints of
the damage done to the wheat during blooming. In all
the fields which were in bloom during the late frosts and
subsequent stormy weather, the mischief done is now
making itself apparent : the ears are all more or less de-
fective, many with half the chaff filled with pain, and
our promise from these districts is very discouraging; many
speak of only four sacks per acre. The late wheats on the
cold heavy lands were not in bloom during the ungenial wea
then, and from these we hope we may get an average crop ;
but red gum is doir,g considerable mischief in these districts.
Under these circumstances we cannot now expect an ave-
rage crop," On Wednesday the accounts trom Boston
stated; " The weather during the week has continued
cold, with an absence of sun, and the crops Lanka slow
progress to maturity. With anything like favourable
weather, we may expect harvest to be general in about
another month ; and in this district we have a fair average
crop of wheat." From Suffolk, on Thursday, it was re-
marked :—" Since Sunday last inclusive we hsve had bright
warm summer weather. With easterly winds and cold
nights, complaints of our growing wheats do not decrease,
yet we are not inclined to think that on the whole we may
gather a fair crop. Barley reports are favourable, but rain
is wanted for our light gravelly soils to mature the kernels
and prevent coarseness and premature ripeness." From
Devonshire our adv ices state : " Wheat crop in this county is
rather variously reported on, the amphis has been attacking
the ears, but we are informed from reliable sources that

little or no mischief is to be seen, and that they are rapidly
disappearing from the ears ; some few early pieces of wheat
may be cut by the end of this month, but harvest is not
likely to be general until the second week in August,
The crop is thought to be nearly an average." On Friday
from the same county (neighbourhood of Exeter), it was
remarked :—" W heat cutting has commenced in a very
early district of our south coast. Reports of the crop are
very various ; on the thin soils they are giving up for want
of rain, but in the deep rich soils this dry hot weather is
very favourable. Altogether we are likely to have a mid-
dling crop of wheat, but not equal to last year. The above
remarks will apply to barley and cats. Beans and pease are
said to have failed, being blighted," This is the first cutting
of wheat we have heard of, but the rye "
h
com-
menced in early districts. On Frio "
...ay, from the East
Riding of Yorkshire, advices sae, Prvest has e
The weather has been
dry and rather cold for the A'
solace of sun, and the F' "
-aeon of the year, with an ab-
-
..-`'wing crops make small progress
. Emu is wanted for spring corn and root
tcorowpasr.d,s maturity.
Or_ die same day, from Bury St. Edmunds, our
advices There are very conflicting accounts about
°e, wheat crop, but we think more is made of 'it than it re-
quires. The Talavera, being a very tender wheat, was
caught by the frost, and no doubt received injury; but we
will not not believe but that we have good crop of red wheat.
Barley marvellously fine—in fact, this applies to all sorts of
grain, excepting wheat." The weather remained hot and
forcing up to Saturday inclusive, and will have pushed for-
ward the crops favourably, except where premature ripen-
ing is the effect of a sudden change. Harvest may be said
to have partially commenced in this week ; and should such
weather continue, it will go on ste tdily, but from first to
last is likely to be a long and procr, tetinated one, nay may
be considered as well nigh finished.
