PROSPECTS, OF THE CROPS.
The reports received from the northern
paris Of the kingdom speak in a very des-
ponding tone of the probable effects of The
extremely wet and boislerous weather ex.
perienced during the week on that portion
of the crops still outstanding. That Jury
TO an extent difficult TO be remedid at this
advance period OF the year has been Gone,
is greatly TO be feared; and, unless we
have an immediate return Of dry weather,
the consequence may be serious. Even il
the northern harvest had been got in well,
the yield Of Wheat could scarcely have
been expected to prove an average: and,
under existing circumstances, the de ficen-
cy in quality if not in quantity, is likely
to be much greater than was previously
calculated on.
Notwithstanding the fine weather ex.
perienced 3 consecutive weeks, there 10
still great quantity Of grain abroad south

of tie Tn ted Kingdom probably twothirds
may have been saved but il is need ess 10
remark, that the manner in which the 9TH
or third my be secured must greatly in
luence tie whole. Our previous estimate
of the probable results Of the harvest have
therefore, we fear, been too favorable
andwc now apprehend that, besides the
| n cd, tod dol 60,
Potatoes, the crops of Barley and Oats, as
those of Beans and Peas, may prove infe.
rior 10 what we were induced 10 hope.
AS thrashng is proceeded with, the COM
piain,s ofihe yield of Wheat certainly in
creases: nor do the accounts of the quail
lily improve. The loss in weight alone is
a serious confederation; supposIng The same

tail on-andt king the whole produce Of

! age year, at 30, 0JU, go quars, this item
alone would make difference Of million
Of quarters.
These considerations have had some
influence with holders of wheat. and The
disposition to sell at present prices has
much diminished. Those parties who
have still stocks Of old naturally conclude
that the superiority of last years growth
over that Of tie new will cause it 10 COM
mand . ready sale at any period: and
though fair supplies Ct new have been
brought forward by the growers, they re-
| fuse 10 sell except al enhanced rates. The
increasingly unlavorabIe reports relative
to the Potatoe crop has also had their
weight; and the trade has assumed deci-
ded.y firm tone.
Whether any immediate advance of i'm
porlance W Il occur in the value of wheat
| will probably depend, in great measure,
on the weather; but however suspicious the
! latter may become, we feel tolerably sure
! that the pIice Of bread stufls must, later in
| the year, rise materially.
Not on y is the crop short in this county
but the harvest has been detective over the
greater part of the continental Europe. In
Holland and Belgium The fact is SO we'll
ascertained that the Government OF the
! former country has deemed it prudent 10
reduce the duties on Grain to the minimum
! point; whilst all the restrictions on the i'm
! port of Corn, into Belgium, have been re-
moved for gwen period.
Already, numerous orders have been
received from Rotterdam, Antwerp, &c;
| and The moderate stocks Of bonded Corn
are likely TO be shortly reduced into ver-
narrow compass, if not exhausted, by
shipments 10 countries from whence, in or
dinlry years, we are in the habit of draw
ing some portion Of our foreign supplies
In the Baltic ports, Great Britain must ex-
pect to be outbid by the Dutch and BeIg-
ans; and in the Black Sea, Wheat has late
ly been bought up to supply Italy, where
the crops are stated 10 have yielded ndli-
fo emily.
1t seems, therefore, that, unless prices
advance materially, in this country, we
are not likely TO draw any quantity OF
