of a failure of the crops from drought. On well-f"rsaetli
lands the wheat plant is generally well spoken of, wind
the exception of its being backward for the season, and
it is only on badly-drained and heavy soils that 13s,
prospect of affairs has been unsatisfactory. The Ptba
tures and meadow lands have also profited
much

refreshing showers, and have assumed a much TO

luxuriant appearance. There has been a continuance
firmness in the grain trade, so far as valuers are concern to
but the business doing has been less extensive, olvirVa
the indisposition evinced by purchasers to operate heYll3O

to market has been rather more liberal, farlll,l-11,1

ceded. The tone, however, has continued very st.nrr°lil
and the high prices current in the markets in the -0' oric
of Europe have tended to strengthen values. The tra,.,
will now be regulated principally by the weather and
,ts
condition of the wheat plant. With favourable reP6,;,,,
quietness may be expected, but with adverse nev:'
heavy rise would be inevitable. —Magnet. of
Although the past week opened with a renewa,-.
frosty nights, and the promised rain was drivels eu
strong breezes, eventually it came, and will do all lila
calculable amount of good, while much More wa to
be welcome. The grass will now have a ehauceThe
grow, though the cutting is likely to be late. (13
spring corn will freely germinate, and the sown
be speedily covered with verdure. Before the r
came the aspect of things was not so bad as might ha.' r
been expected. The early-planted wheat, the clos,
leys, and the winter tares were looking strong but sli°l'

Some early white peas shew their blossoms, 11 r
sown late were looking very bad ; but, with all othbee
corn, such have now a chance to recover whatever the
time of gathering may be. The rain, too, has set 1,0
plough in motion where wanted, and the harrow roe
quickly followed. Thus the late root crops inaY cat. r
in very serviceably. It is doubtful, however, whepleo.
the early potatoes, so severely cut up by frost,
roughly recover. The rain will greatly help the weao
plants of wheat, which were threatened by the het o•
and drying atmosphere •, and the influence of the
ficial change will soon be apparent. After an advauct'o
however, there generally comes a reaction, and se

The serious matter for the farmer at the present
meat is the falling off of the pastures after the eart,
flush of grass. Mild showers have cosine at l'
