la France most Of the grain had been harvested
and the crops were remarkably good. In the
southern parts Of England lie wheat harvest was
nearly over, aud the crops generally good. In the
midland counties the prospect is no, quite 50 favor

bad ARD the harvest very late. The weather for
many days had been huctuating, and so had been
the prices OF wheat.
On lie whole, from personal observation, ia a
rapid ride through many counties, we think there
Will be about an average quantity harvested, should
the weather, for he FIRST weeks in September, prove
favorable. The smaller grains will be rather more
abundant, but of kay the supply will be small, ind

Of complaint, although they may have brought on
their distress by theic own impIudence. The ac-
counts from the Baltic are favorable, and we think
the same remark will apply to the Continent gener-
ely. From toe great wheat districts of the north
OF England, and from Scotland, we shall not hear
fully until The return of the Liverpool.
