MONTH-L 7 A.URICkipTiJILAL REPORT,

The variable weather of the present month has in
some degree impeded the operations of agriculture;
which, however, hold nearly equal pace with the season.
is itself backward. Hay and fodder hare been scarce
throughout, and the spring grass still be very late. Sive- ,
dish turnips, where they succeeded, proved an invaluable
resource; hut, as it often happens, they failed in many
parts, equally with the other Ilpecies. The clovers, and
all artificial grasses, have suffered tonsiderable injury. t
Wheats, on the whole, look well. The losses oo the
sheep during the winter were considerable; and also on
the lambs, since the season. both from the unkindly wea-
ther, and a defect of milk in the ewes. Wool, as moat.
is quoted in some places as a rising article, in others as
a mere drng; in the mean time, "we have seldom. any
report of fine wool, as though every attempt to produce
it had been given up in this country. Very high prices
have been asked in the country for good saddle horses,
even to the amount, it is said, (for capital ones), of forty
Pounds each ; more than possibly could have en mule
in the metropolis. The sudden rise in corn origin ited
in speculation, and the markets will now depend chiefly
on the opinions of the speculators ; some depression has
already succeeded. Tl.e market for cattle and flesh ni:at
generally follows that of corn. The most remarkable
advance has been in the price of pig stock; amounting,
on the average, to full lifty per cent. Tbis may certainly
be attributed, in a considerable degree, to scarcity.; since
the excessive depression in price had greatly diminished
both the breeding at hone and the Irish importation.—
' (Middlesex, slarch 21.)

At Marliam-church fair, Cornwall, on Tuesday, the
supply of cattle was abundant, but the sale was not brisk ;
but prime beasts were dispused of without any material
reduction of price.
