of small yellow flies which were seen in the wheat
fields more than three weeks ago. Throughout the =
first day when wheat was observed to come into ear,
the fly remained amongst the foliage near the ground;
in the evenings it ascended to the ear, and always
seemed to prefer those that had been newly de-
veloped, or only half out, to others more advanced,
where eggs had been formerly laid—thus giving no
single ear a chance of escaping. In the act of lay-
ing the eggs, says a Northern reporter, a trunk is
ceoliuded from the anus, and is sufficiently long
and pointed to reach the inflorescence within die
glume, to which it is uniformly directed with un-
erring aim. When the eggs are laid, the trunk
again collapses within the body. A gum accom-
panies the eggs, which are laid in regular clusters;
the baleful influence of this gum seems to arrest the
progress of the embryo grain which never unfold its
anthers. The flies die in two or three days after
depositing the eggs, and in ten or twelve days small
caterpillars may be observed about the inflorescence.
About half of every ear that has been examined, is
represented to be thus infected, and thereby rendered
unfit to increase or swell the grain. We shall
shortly be enabled to put our readers in possession
of the result of our personal observation and farther
inquiries on the subject in some of the most exten-
sive corn counties, and trust our report will hold out
a more favourable prospect to the hopes of the
farmer. The hay crop, it is scarcely necessary to
add, must prove miserably deficient throughout the
island.—County Herald.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SunAtt.—The Sugar Market has been rather languid
all the week, and to effect sales of large parcels rather
lower prices have been submitted to, but generally the
market cannot be stated at any variation; the request still
continues limited, and the buyers only purchase fur their
immediate wants. In the Refined market there is no
change ; the supplies are inconsiderable, but fitly adequate
to the languid demand. The prices are rather lower.

FOR EIG N &ICA R. -The purchases by private contract
arc extensive, 1000 chests white Havanna!' at an average
of 455. ; 300 chests Brazil, principally 'nixed white Per-
nams, low to mid. sold at 30s. for the whole of the sound,
245. for the damaged, sound brown and yellow at 20.
damaged at 17s.
FAST INDIA SUGAR.-The purchases by private con-
tract are inconsiderable. This (lay at public sale 7,318
bags Mauritius ; the whole went off heavily, and at Is. a
2s. per cwt. lower than any preceding sale ; the quality
of the Sugar was, however, very bad.
COY FEE. -The 3,621 bags Havannah on Tueidat all
sold at fi,li market prices, ord. mid. 435. 6(1., tine ord.
355. to 365., good ord. 335. to 345. There has been no
other Foreign Coffee in the sales this week. Th British
Plantation Coffee, of which considerable parcels have,been
brought forward, has sold more freely, chiefly for export,
at full market prices, except some parcels of fine ord.,
which are a shade lower. This day British Plantation
Coffee sold at former prices ; 3,161 East India. Cel lon
325. 6d., Cheribon yellow 31s. 61 Coffee market firm.
Rum, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS..-The Government
contract for Rum was taken on Tuesday ; it is fir 100,000
gallons, and was taken at Is. gad. and Is. 94d.: the low
rate at which the contract was taken had rather an (info,
vourable effect on the market. The only purchases since
we believe a parcel of proof Leewards, 260 puncheons, at
10d. ; Jamaica, 28 to 32 over proof, 2s. I id. a 3s. 2d.
In Brandy and Geneva there is no alteration.
FLAX, AND TALLow.-The Tallow market is
rather higher, and there is apparently more demand. In •
Flax or Hemp there is no material alteration.
IRISH PROVISIONS.-Beef and Pork are w:thout varia-
tion. Butters aro still heavy. In Bacon there is no al-
teration. Beef, prime new India 61.55. per tierce ; prime
new Mess 51. Ss. ditto; second tlusaiy Ness 4/. 10s. a

TOBACCO.—The only sale for export this week is a par-
cel of 111arylands, about 50 hhde. for Portupl. The pur-
chases for the home trade are inconsiderable.

Sits. —The Silk trade remains in the most depressed
state ; the prices are again giving way.
TEa.—The Market has assumed a very lsnguid
pearance, and there is hardly any thing inquired for.
Corrox.—The Cotton Market is steady, but the sales
are not extensive, the buyers waiting the event of the In-
dia Howe sale.

till the Indigo belonging to the East India Company was
put up. when there was a great revival in the demand,
many foreigners having only inspected the latter, knowing 1
they would be peremptorily sold, and anticipating that the
private trade would be taken in ; the prices were in con
