The frosts have had the beneficial effect of check-
ing the ravages of the slug, which had commenced
its-destructive career. Tares, clover, and the artifi-
cial grasses, have made good, progress. The poorer
class of farmers have perhaps generally disposed of
the greater part of their stock of wheat, in order
to discharge, as far as within their power, the very
pressing demands upon them; and many in better
circumstances, from one motive or another, have
thinned unusually their stack-yards. The barley
and pulse crops are in sufficient plenty ; but the
greater part of the former stained by the wet, and
the latter soft, and hence not readily saleable ; and
all gradually declining in price. The quantities of
barley, fit for making, offered at market, have been
very limited during the season—a circumstance ap-
parently of no great consequence, the brewers hold-
ing gieat stacks of malt as well as hops, of which
the deficiency of the late crop has had no great
effect in raising the price. The stocks in hand, and
the foreign import, which must continue during the
spring, preelude all expectation of a risng corn market.
The cattle markets, both for fat and store-stock;
are supposed to have reached their minimum of au-
tumnal price, and are quoted with a shade of -ad-
vance. There has been a fine opportunity of pur-
chase for those who have possessed the means, to-
gether with the materials of winter keep. They
cannot fail of a profitable return. With respect to
those, the majority, it is to be feared, in reduced
circumstances, they have been enabled to purchase
on credit, even where an old arrear has subsisted,
from the absolute necessity of sale in the glutted
markets. Winter cattle feeding, however, may
prove a serious concern, more especially in the event
of a long frost (no unreasonable expectation), from
the general failure of the root crops, of mangold
beyond the others,-which, when successful, affords
such immense snpplics. The carrots of the present
season are particularly fine, and of substantial quality.
Apples are superabundant, and the metropolis amply
stocked, not only with the new varieties, but with
increasing quantities of the old and excellent sorts,
the nonpareil, russetin, rennet, and pippin of im-
.prctved quality. Cider in the West is retailed at 2d.
