I• The wheat harvest being. DM c.in eluded; the fol-
lowing may be considered as an impartial estimate of
the produce:—Wheat, on the strong lands; short of
quantity, but good in quality. Ott the light and
cold lands,-a fair crop, as to produce, but much af-
fected with the smut. Some strong lands, which last
year produced-four quarters an acre, do not this year
average more than three; but with respect to weight
the quality is considerably better than that of -fait
year. 'On the whole, from- the various accounts,
the produce 'May' be estimated at about 1-Bth short
of what is termed an average crop, taking the me-'
dium of an 'average crop at three quarters au acre;
the quality, however, is generally so superior, the
-deficiency of the qUantity may probably be obOated,
so as to raise the-produce ot nutriment equal to that
of last year;
