the farmers the LIST August but this has since nearly
all gone into consumption and the deliveries OF new
have been unprecedcnuy large; Notwithstanding th's
prices of Whent have gradually advanced about 10 per
Or during the last months and We do not think we
are far wrong in saving that fully half OF the two millions
quarters of Wheat and Flour liberated from bond in
June last has since gone into consumption
The complaints that made respecting the yield OF
the wheat crop in most parts OF the country do not
surely relate being under average as To the gea'
hope formed OF it in June last when il was expected to
prove considerably average and Was one prnc-
