demand for Store Cattle, at our late Fairs, from the
abundance of grass, rather increased, but the sales

The price of wheat continues to fill in all the pro-
vincial markets : at Newbury it has declined

'Potatoes have been .found, on numerous recent
,experiments; both in this country ,and in Irel4nd, as
also on the Continent,• to produce an excellent and
abundant spirit; an acre of potatoes yielding nearly
five times more spirit than an acre of barley, or about
one measure 61 spirit for sixteen of potatoes. :The.
potatoe is boiled and bruised, and mike(' With water
to the consistence of cre;nn--.the liquor is suffered
to ferment.ibr three days, and, then distilled.'
Our Preston Correspondent says, " it is n very
singular lila, that in this County atleast, and I be
all over the kingdotn, the beans, as they lie in
the pod, are placed the contrary way to what they
usually are. This has never been the tike since the
year in which the King of France was beheaded."
