MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

There is little novelty sinrr our last Report, fur the
universal distress of the occupiers of the soil, and of the
labourers who till it, are unhappily nu novelty. Never
before was there so great a provision in England, of all
the necessaries of life, and ut all commodities ; but for
the former, the grower finds no remuneration, and not-
withstanding the appsrent low rate of necessaries, the
country labourers in constant employment are barely
able to subsist, and the considerable nowhere in many
districts, whom the tanners cannot employ, have no
other allowance than parish allowance. A great accu-
mulation of this misery is apprehended in the ensuing
winter season. Such is the strange state of our coun-
try, at the very summit of opulence, and superabun-
dance, and with the boast of an unprecedented share of
intellectual light. As a carious anomaly, a e have lately
heard of 901. per acre given for thin stapled, ordinary
arable laud, and from 71)1. to that price, demanded for
land in the county alluded to.—Rents, however, in va-
rious parts of the country, are giving way, to the aver-
age probably of nearly -NM per cent.: apparently the
only obvious mode of working the necessary change in
the present nielancbuly and dangerous situation of af-
fairs. The late considerable reduction in the price of
corn, is, no doubt, full as much to be attributed to the
poverty of the farmers as to the abundance of the crop.
The low price of store cattle may be referred to the same
causes, and to the almost general failure of the turnip
crop, which will render cattle feeding in the spring ex-
tremely expensive. The young wheats look as healthy
and well in general, as they usually do at this season,
but from casualties of weather, the sowing of considera-
ble breadths is postponed till after Christina,. In some
parts the drought continued too long • in others, par-
,kataiiv in the- isorth-west, they were deluged with
rain. In Scotland', the crops were fortitoately secured. •
Wheat and Oats, great : Barley, deficient both in quan-
tity rod quality. Po:ataes, a light, but sufficient crop.
Wheat, u ell got in. The demand for labour was tee
great to be supplied. The Wool trade is reviving in a
slight degree, tor middle and lung wools ; as to English
fine wools foreign importation has long since beaten
them out of the field, and oat of the market, —Middle-
sex, Nov. 24.
CORN EXCHANOR, L) t. I.—Our Wheat trade con
finites exceedingly heavy for the finest qualities, for
which Monday's prices were with difficulty obtained
but the ordinary sorts were offered at au abatement of
Y!. per quarter, without being able to erect sales at that
•lecline. The supply of Barley this week has been very
large, and chiefly of inferior quality, which description
is full Is. per quarter cheaper, bat prime picked sam-
ples support Monday's prices. Oats are abo le. per
quarter lower ; the sales were very dull at that reduction.
fn Beans and Peas there is no alteration.
SNITRIIRLD YAKUT, Dxc. I.—This morning's mar-
ket was well supplied with all descriptions or cattle ;
in consequence of which every article was cheaper in
price.
