J4IOI,IWLY AURICULTURAL REMIT.
This report consists merely of the veld of former dis-
, tresses. With respeet to the tontine of codstry busi-
OM., there is nothing of novelty or interest 'to wont icor.
The Wheats, where they have not been flooded; are ge-
nerally totted to look well ; but drawn upward as they
hate been, by a cunstant series of warm and moist
weather; without the Slightest check from frost, the ap-
prehensiun ii far from bring groundless, that they May
be exhausted by excessive Vegetation, and ultimately be
more productive in Straw than earn. It was supposed
last month, from the wet and poachv state of a great
part Of the lands, that much of the Wheat sowing must
be postponed till after Christmas; but from subsequent
accounts, in spite of all difficulties, it seems, that a finis!,
has been generally made. Talavera (Spanish) Wheat
is getting out of repute; perhaps corn from a warm
climate should ndvet be sown in this country in the ad-
Wm% until it shall have become naturalised to our soil.
Sheep, in course, are doing badly abroad;' with their
fleece and loins constantly wet, feeding on sodden 'and
half-rotted turnips. The mortality among them in ea-
lions countries, and in Scotland, bas already been con-
siderable; and lidless a speedy change In the weather
should supetvene, a general rot, like those In former
days, may be apprehended; is the meantime, they who
keep sheep abroad its such circumstances, yet possessing
the means of keding them nailer shelter (and there are
many sub men) may, perhaps, be wise men, though
certainly sorry calculators. Brit custom and fashion must
ever govern prectlies, as well in sheep and husbandry,
'as in physic amid divinity. it public fortune-teller Of
prime notoriety, who, monster, refers to the exact fut.
filesent of his former predictions, has lately ventured to
' prophecy a still farther decline in the price of Wheat. to
the ratio of cent per cent. Give the 'markets time fray
this, and the prediction may be verified; but should the
old rules of weather-wisdom hold their ground, and a
warm and moist winter be folichted by a cold and
blighting spring and summer, it may be ptestinied, that
neither the quantity nor quality of the future Wheat
crop will give much 'anytime to a farther decline of
price, in whatever humour currency may God Dealt.
During several weeks past, the causes of rain and fog,
of the former particularly, appears to have been evi-
dently exhausted; yet a state of moisture in the atmos-
phere has constantly prevailed, and the lands have re•
maimed in a very wet and peachy state. There are at
hresent great topes of a favourable change. Fine,
eavy, dry Wheat, short in quality, and much in re-
quest, is worth 755. per quarter; but is general, a:I
kinds of produce are necessarily at a declining price,
since the supply invariably exceeds the demand. Per-
haps Long Wool is an exception, being rather ready of
sale. Manufactures are Ina far more prosperous state
than Agriculture, and are gradually relieving the land
from a part of its superduoss !abeam..
