Wheat rose at the Devizes market, on Thurs.
day. But a very active Member of the Bath
Agricultural Society states, that he made it his
business strictly to inquire, at the last Warmin-
ster market, respecting the real state of the crops
of w heat and other grain ; and he had the assur-
ance of several principal farmers, that they had
not then been materially damaged by the rains. The
intervals of sun.ahinc, with the operation of the
drying winds, had enabled the diligent farmer to
secure his grain. There was in general very little
appearance of smut or blight ; and the crops,
upon the whole, do certainly exceed the usual
average.
The inhabitants of Staitlis and the neighbour-
ing villages have lately obtained a beneficial supply
(tom an immense quAntity of fine large herrings,
which have lately made their appearance upon that
part of the Yorkshire coast, and which extend
along the shore at the distance of about 100 yards
from the low water mark. From 20 to 50 cobles
drive with their nets every night, and take from
1000 to 7000 per coble. The fishermen say, that
the appearance of the herrings in that quarter, at
this period, indicates an approaching productive
fishery at Yarmouth, herrings at this season of the
year being generally observed to proceed in a
southerly direction.
