Saturday evening weather in this district continued
fine ; at night we had heavy rain ; Sunday and
Monday it was fine, Monday night very heavy rain,
with thunder, which cleared off about nine a.m.
Tuesday, at half-past three p.m., we bad a tre-
ruendons storm of thunder, lightning, and rain,
which did considerable damage; Wednesday it was
fine, but more rain at night ; to-day fine. With
the heavy rains above alluded to it is not surprising
that markets have hardened, and that millers have
Shown SOlllO anxiety to increase their small stocks
of wheat, as a very considerable portion of the new
crop in this neighbourhood previously intended for
the machine and the mill, direct from the field,
Must remain for some weeks to become in a lit
state for grinding. I hope before another week
to have gained more reliable information as to
theA Yi'dd, which at present is far from satisfactory.
't this day's market there was a good supply of
wheat for the season, and with an improved de-
/nand an advance of ls. to 2s. per qr. was obtained
all kinds, resulting in a very fair business.
