From the London Mercantile Gazette, Sept 81
The continuance of most splendid weather has en-
ablcd farmers in the later districts to make rapid pro-
grcss with the ngatherng of the crops and the re-
suit Of the harvest in the north, is likely to prove
far more satisfactory than from the unpropitous char

y all the carried since the ncemcnt OF the
present month has been secured in excellent orders
and though unfortunately, much oil that carted earlier
suffered extensively from the prevalence of wet IN
July and August, we have reason TO hope that the
deficiency taking the entire kingdom, may not prove
so serious as 10 a high rang of prices. The
potato disease, general In the south and west, APP
pears to have been much more partial in the north
and in some of the largest potato growing counties in
Scotland the loss is said to be comparatively trifing
On the whole, the prospects for the ensuing winter
are BY no means so gloomy as appeared likely to be
the case month ago. and though we do not calculate
on prices of food recedng, happy to say that
we can discover no cause TO apprehend scarcity and
high prices.
