ZGRIC C LT ÜBE,

MONTHLY REPORT FOR FEBRUAR`I.

The continuance of heavy rains throughout thin
month, xvith the unusual mildness of the weather, has
proved injurious to the )ount., Wheats, by forting them
much beyond their seasonable growth. The early Beans
have sullllcd, by rotting in the ground, and the general sow,
ing is much retarded from the saute cause. A conskterable
breadth of Oats have been got in upon leys in the Eastern
Counties ; but the followed lands, in almost every listridv.
are found too wet to stir, tar Ba,lcy. indeed mostof tlti
preparatory operations for swing feel cultivation haveneces-
bLen suspen,ted, train the un,enial weather which
has prevaded through the winter. The )ming Plants of
Clover are generally good ; and the Rye and Wintar Tare.
Plants thew well for spring seed. The Purinps, in most'
countries, a,'? Fowl* prcinaturely for Moom. The HAT..
Markets are lower, Iron: the. (Terme si of the season. Consi-
derable droves of Beasts, princip:dly Scots and I.rish, are.
come op lipping Forest, and have been principall?: sold at
high pikes. Store Sheep are somewhat cheaper. Stlithfield,
has been well supplied wit prime Beet- and Mutton, on
terms but little varying from those of the preceding month;
the Veal and [-louse Lamb fetch rather less moiler. The
Wool trade has become a little brisker, owing to MerinQ.

SMITHFIELD MARKET, FEB 29.

This day's market had a short supply of the dif-
ferent kinds of Cattle—Pork is dearer; Bte I, Mut-
ton, and Veal, are cheaper ; and the trade, for the
most parr, was not very brisk.--The sales , in the
Ha; Ma►ket were not lively : Hay fetcl led last
price, Straw has got up in price, and Cl over has
Millen in price.—The undermentioned pritc-es and
numbers are a correct statement :
