article on the harvest, says: The general
opinion in Mark Lane is that there is an av.
eraee wheat crop in England. A great ma.
! jority OF the reports from different districts
confirm that estimate. The barley crop can.
not fail to be an average one. Root crops
are less promising than they have been at this
period for many years. Potatoes. however.
! are good. The prospects in Scotland are
much lees favorable than in England. The
most suspicious reports of all crops come
