." Our harvest, whose commences
ment and progress has been attended
with particularly fine weather, is now
nearly finished in tn. principal corn
counties, and the wheat proves to be
greatly superior to what the most SAM
guine expectation had. at one time,
anticipated. Although it is thinner
upon the ground in some districts than
has occasionally been the case, yet this
deficiency will in great measure be
compensated by a proportionate IN
Crease of weight in the grains, which

the impression at present, ascertain

yielding fair average produce. We
may also observe, that Potatoes are
every where understood to be a We.
ry abundant crop. These circum.
stances, as might naturally be ex.
Pected, have had the effect of caus.
ing gradual depression in our mar.

are almost suspended; the quotations
mny be about lbs. 14s Sd. per 70
lbs. but it is difficult to saw what price
could actually be obtained for CARGO.

the fine state of the weather,our mills
have seldom wind sufficient for grind
ing, from which circumstance Fiour
is scarce; and as the demand is prst.

the same proportion with those of
wheat, as they may still be quoted a,

plies, become more abundant, sensi-
