THE HARVEST. -- The weather having been
highly favaurabJe during the past week, harvest work has
made great progress in the eastern district. The red
wheats
win, it is expected, prove quite an average, and
barley, where uncut, has improved in appearance since
the rains which fell a week or two since. The defici-
ency in the wheat appears to be confined to the Talaveras,
and on the whole matters have a decidedly more cheerful
aspect. ii
