SEASON AND TIE CRoPs.-We have little further
to add to tho gratifying report which appeared on
THIS subject IN our last publication. From all
quarters Of these Kingdoms, the accounts are of
pleasing and satisfactory character. Wheat
promises to be early and abundant. Oats, rye,
and barley look well, and are equally enc ourag-
ing, the former having nearly recovered from the
effects OF The late drought, by the copious rains
which have fallen during the last week or two.
n Our la AT ia mot
any further intelligence respecting the failure OF
the potato crop; partial failures, it 10 true, have
taken place, but we believe we are warranted in
nsserting'that there is just reason TO expect, dur
Ing the next season, q plentiful supply of this
most valuable and necessary escAlent.-Lircrpool

IRON TRADE.-During the past and the present
month the iron trade has been worry firm in Stat.
same as they were in. May. Welsh is shade
lower; but ES for bars, At the shipping ports may
be considered as the lowest price. As there has
been a reduction of ss. to 4s. on-the price of
ScQtch pig, large sales have been effected n 67s.

tons OF railway bars at go l0s, and 5000 tons of
chains at IL, were sold by three Statfordshre
houses to railway company in their vicinity.
Swedish irsn and steel continue dull: some sales
OF the former article were made in June. A Biz
mipgham CORE spondent writes to us as follows
When tne amrmaton railway meetings were
Der Of projects affirmed, and other circumstances
q further advance of prices of iron was likely to
take place ut the ironmasters' quarterly meeting
to be held at Walsall on Tuesday, July T. This
prediction is about TO e realised preliminary
meeting OF the South Staffordshire masters has
just been held. at which it was resolved not only
to maintain present prices, but to propose an adj
vance Of about pound ton on the maximum
rates. THIS resolution has not been unanimously
adopted, and there il some reason TO believe that
the meeting on Tuesday may feel disposed rather
TO adopt a medium advance of about IS. a ton.
Since the settlement Of the Oregon question, and
with prospect OF the American tariff being mo-
dhen, extensive orders are expected; but those
best acquainted with the iron trade in the States
do not calculate much in this quarter. The chief
cause of the demand il in the fact that the stocks
on hand are extremely short, and that there is
now Certainty that the demand for railway iron

AMERICAN BUrrER.-Among the late importa-
tops OF articles of food which have taken place
from America, two importations of butter may be
especially mentioned; one in the Great BRIAN
steamship OF zoo packages, the produce of the
States; md the other by the Rory U'More. from
Montreal, OF In packages, the produce of ca
NADIA.
The HARVEST IN FRANcE.-A great many fields
of barley have been already cut down in the en-
virons of Paris. The crop is not heavy in the
ear, and the 10 very short, as was 10 be ex-
grain appears to be equal to what is called an
average crop. The late rains have had so bene-
fetal an effect upon the artificial grasses that
they were in full flower, and quite ready for the
scythe 1t is very for the second crop to be
fit for moving so early in July. If the weather
should be favorable the third crop will BIO fit to
cut In August
