cattle in various parts of the country, and which has,
we find, produced most serious, most extensive losses.
The beasts seem to be suddenly seized with a violent
cold ; and unless immediate remedies are adopted,
they are lost in a short time.
The shortness of keep has produced some un-
usually large stock fairs in different quarters, which
has caused the trade to be unusually dull, at miser-
ably low prices.
Although the turnip crop is not expected to be a
productive one, a very great improvement is noticed
in it, yet moisture is still much required to increase
the bulb.

As the working of the new tariff is a matter in
which our readers are so immediately interested, we
shall here devote some space to its consideration. On
its first passing into law, the greatest anxiety was
manifested by our graziers and others as to its proba-
ble effect upon the value of stock in this country, from
large importations. Speculators of all classes were
speedily abroad in the principal markets to purchase
cattle for our markets, and not a few of them were
enabled to obtain what may be considered fair profits-
The deficiency of good beasts abroad, and the advanced
rates demanded for them, caused the importers, in the
latter end of last year, to act with caution in their
operations, more especially as the quotations here were
ruling lower than at the corresponding periods of
some past seasons. These, then, are the principal rea-
sons why the arrivals of foreign beasts have not
equalled in numbers those which were once expected.
During the present year, the arrivals of stock have
been tolerably extensive.
Our advices from Scotland sta'e that harvest work
has progressed rapidly, under the most favourable
auspices, and that the principal portion of the crop is
already secured in excellent condition.

The various markets have been only moderately
supplied with grain ; yet the demand has ruled inac-
tive at about stationary prices.
In Ireland, cutting and carrying have been brought
to a pretty general conclusion. The produce of the
crops is fairly represented. Fine wheat has sold
freely, at full prices. In other kinds of corn a fair
business has been doing.
