next, and show only the quarter OF an
average, with two-fifths below it; but
the better prices paid TOR this grain
somewhat compensates for its being SO
bad. Then come peas, which present US
with the meagre items of only one-tiith
of an average, and one-halt below it.
But this grain has suffered also in size
and quality greatly, ami white boilers
bring no compensating rates. Tares
are not enumerated; but these turn out
the wOfst crop perhaps that was ever
grown. being light, shrivelled, and with
SO little terminating powers that con-
sumers are glad to avail themselves OF
foreign imports to seed their land. And
lastly, the wheat crop, the farmers chief
hope, has met with still more serious
reverse, for only one-eighth of it has
reached an average, and no less than
the great bulk, tive-sixths, have sunk
below it. If, therefore. an average
means 8 quarters bushels per acre, we
fear this untoward season means quar-
ters bushels only, as the general yield
below it, and whatever dullness now
obtains, and may for q period continue,
our large deficiency will crop up as the
season advances; and should we have a
bad spring, there must be an important
advance.
