AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS•

The week opened with a showery day, thick and
windy, blowing from the N.W. Monday was finer,
sunny at times, and with the temperature higher.
Wind S.E. to the S. Autumnal tillage has been
much assisted by the falls of rain, which occurred
mostly in the night, so that the work could proceed
during the day, and the light soils went remarkably
well. In the early part of Tuesday rain fell, but
the day was fair throughout. Our advices were
as under :—From the West Riding of York-
shire—" The weather, on the whole, has been
favourable for seed time, which will no doubt pro-
ceed fairly." From the East Riding—" Weather
continues favourable for out-door labour, and
farmers are now about commencing autumn-sow-
ing." From Lancashire—" The weather since
Tuesday last has been cold, with frequent showers,
but on the whole not unfavourable for the agri-
cultural operations of the season." From Suffolk
—" Since our last the frosty atmosphere has changed
to a milder temperature, accompanied with several
showers of rain, and this has enabled our farmers
to prepare the land for the wheat crop." From
Northumberland—" The weather has been dull
and damp, wind varying from W. to S. W.
and E." From Norfolk—" The weather has
been variable during the past week, and a good
deal of rain has fallen, which has proved bene-
ficial to all field work." Much rain had falls"
during the previous night, but the day was fine and
warm on Wednesday. Field work progressed favour-
ably, and all fine qualities of wheat suitable for seed
have been in great request. Some very select Chid-
ham grown in Surrey was reported to have been sold
at 100 s. per qr., a price farmers have not dreamt Of
for a long time past, but no doubt this will be paid
cheerfully in order to obtain a quality that will
produce a superior plant. Other sorts also com-
manded high rates, Nursery taking the lead. At
Edinburgh prime white. Lothian brought great
prices, serving to run up the average to 765. 6d. per
qr. Thursday was a fine sunny day after a wet
night. Our advices were as under. From Suffolk
—"The weather during tho past week' has been
mild, and having had a good fall of rain, farmers
are able to make good progress with field work."
From Warwickshire—" With the exception of yes'
terday, weather during the week has continued
showery and foggy." Friday was a fine sunny day,
after having had rain the previous night. Our ad-
vices were as follows :—From the West Riding of
Yorkshire—" We may expect markets fuller as
seed-time gets finished and the farmers' attention
can be given to thrashing. Weather is still flue
and mild." From Lincolnshire it was remarked
—" Rain has fallen plentifully at last, and nevi
wheat sowing will be pushed on as much as
possible. Altogether the process is behind-hand,
owing to the dry weather ; and notwithstanding
advices of clerical and amateur farmers about thin
sowing, the usual system is yet adopted of sowing
from eight to twelve pecks per acre. Thrashing
wheat is yet vigorously going on, so much so that
the weekly returns now exceed those of last year ;
but this pace cannot be maintained, or, if so, nelt,
spring and summer will find a great deficiency-
Saturday was a fine day, after a wet night; and
this has been the same throughout nearly the whole
week. On the whole, out. door work has proceeded
both favourably and extensively.—Mark-lane Ex-
