MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 22,

The improvement reported in our last week's market has
since been fully confirmed, and we have bad a considerable
business during the week at improving prices.
In the agricultural districts we understand the prices of
Wheat have undergone a further improvement, whilst the sup-
plies brought forward by the farmers are very moderate, even
in those counties where harvest is completed.
The import from Ireland is small ; but to Wakefield there
is an arrival of 13,800 quarters of Wheat, chiefly foreign. At
both that market and Liverpool, yesterday, considerable busi-
ness was done (particularly in Wheat) at Is. to 2s. advance
upon last week's rates.
The weather, with the exception of a few showers, has con-
tinued most favourable for harvest operations, which are pro-
gressing rapidly in the late districts of England, Ireland, and
Scotland.

Our Market to day is well attended, and we have a free sale
for new English and good foreign Wheats at an improvement
of 2.d. per bushel on the rates of last week. Flour in fair re-
quest at is. per sack higher. Oats are fully Id. and old Oat-
meal of good fresh quality, Is. per load dearer. New is scarce,
and would bring 295. to 30s. per load. Beans rather more
saleable at former rates in Malt but little doing.
The question of the degree of productiveness of the Wheat
crop is now one of great importance to the trade. From the
reports hitherto received, it appears to yield badly in this
county particularly, and to be much below the produce of late
seasons. _

DERBY CORN MARKET, SETT. 21.
The Derby Corn Market was well attended, sales brisk fcr
new Wheat, which was in much better condition than last
week. Old Wheat 68s. to 70s. ; new ditto, 655. to 665. ; Oats,
255. to 285.; Beans, 445. to 465. ; Barley, 31s. to 345.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Gazette.)
Pull Onions, and let them dry in heaps, or lay them at once
in dry store-rooms or sheds to ripen for winter stores.
Continue sowing Salads, Onions for pulling in spring,
Lettuce, &c. . .

Blanche Endive, earth up Celery, and continue the opera-
tions in Kitchen Garden as before ; weeding, cleansing, and
thinning the various crops of Spinach, Turnips, &c.
Sow Cauliflowers ; they will only succeed others, but it is
just possible they may go through the winter better, and make
better heads; they w 11 not be so likely to button.
Continue to take off and pot the layers of Carnations and
Piceotees.

If the store has not already been cleaned out, let the whole
be washed and brushed with a lye of soft soap and warm
water. Cleanliness is everything, and most important before
the plants bo all arranged for the winter.
Examine what green-house plants require to bo re-potted
before the houses are filled for the winter; see well that all
the fire-places, flues, &c., are in order.
It is time to begin arranging the Tulips for planting; and
those who are going to commence growing should begin to
think of buying. The best way is to apply to some respect-
able grower to make up a bed at your own price.
Put litter round the stems and roots of Dahlias, to protect
the crowns in case of frost.

HYDE.—The trade in cotton mills is very brisk, and
hands have full employment.
Between five and six o'clock on Saturday evening
a man employed in the repairs of the house No. 88,
New-cut, Lambeth, fell from the scaffolding to the street, a
height of thirty feet. Some persons who were passing at the
time picked him up and conveyed him to a surgeon opposite.
It appeared on examination that he had received no further in-
jury than the loss of thie3 teeth.
VETERINARY OPERATIONS.—On the 15th of
August last., a cow, the property of Mr. Davis, Skibeden, was
tapped for the dropsy, and 20 gallons of watery fluid taken
from her, and on the 19th, the operation was repeated, and 45
gallons more taken away, making altogether the enormous
quantity of 63 gallons, and reducing l,ur weight i-,85P05. The
beast is hearty and doing well, and does not increase in size.
She underwent the treatment without the least symptoms of
sickness.—.Doncaster Gazette.
