| The weather throughout the week has been
most favorable for harvest operations, which are
now being rapidly brought to a close; the report
OF the wheat crop are very various, but believe
on the whole it will prove average Barley is
complained of, both as to quantlty and quality.
The complaints of the potatoe disease have not
increased. In the colonial and foreign produce
markets we have again had considerable activity

in favor. Cotton dull and prices barely supported

! AT Mondays Corn market there was a gooG
supply of new English wheat, many samples OF
which were inferior to that which sold last week
and some difficulty was found in placing them
even at reduction in price, while picked lots
readily brought former rates. Foreign in large

rency. Barley, beans, and peas 3D. a Is. dearer,
