From the beginning to the 18th of March the

able circumstances.' A continued rain, -for nearly.
On hours, on the 27th and 28th, stopped progress
at that time; and the clay soils, in consequence, are
so saturated with moisture, as to prohibit every hope
-ef. proceeding with seed work for several days. -
• The wheat fields, generally speaking, look very
poorly, worse than ever known at this season of
the year, whilst the weather is such as not to of
any reasonable-cause for expeaing a rapid amend-
-mem. In many fields there is a great want of
plants, and in others, where- a -scarcity is lesS evl— -
dent, the plants are sickly, feeble, and ill coloured•
In short, the asped of the great majority of wheat
fields will not justify any sanguine expeaations of
future success. Several farmers mean to sow the
•kind lately -introduced into this country (74riticuo
ceslivu7) among their thin wheats.; This variety is
greatly recommended by Sir John Sinclair, Bart:.
and if sown before the end of April, will ripen
equally early as the winter sown Wheats. Few pea'

tept Mr. Hunter, of Tynefield. ,
Markets have not altered much during the zuk
and sales of any extent are not easily made, unless
with grain trf the first quailty. Some oais and beans
. -fox seed have obtained' better prices; but, On the
whole, general sales are made nearly on thg same
terms as in the preceding month. The stack:lards,
considering the' period of the 'season, are SO Well
filled, that there-is - not the slightest reason to dread
any scarcity, at least so long as the demand of 140
