Letter from GlafgonVf January 24. 



* Since writing you the 19th October Jaft, about ic,oco bolls of 

 wheat have arrived in the Clyde from America. We have alfo had a 

 confiderable fupply of that grain from the North and Eail: of Scotland; 

 v/hicli, v/ith great quantities brought in from the countiy around, have 

 rather, for tlie prefent, gksttcd our market, a-.id prices in confequence 

 have declined confiderabiy. The farmers in this neighbourhood have 

 had very large crops of this grain lail year, and the quahty in general 

 has tunied cut much finer than for fofne years paft. 



< The Irifi: ports having been fhut, for the quarter now ending, a- 

 gainfl the export of oats, the only fupphes of that grain we liave had 

 during that time, have been from Northumberland and the South of 

 Scotland, which, with what farmers have brought in from the country, 

 have fully fupplied our market ; and for thefe fonie weeks paft, prices 

 have been o\\ the dechne. We are of opinion that a great part of the 

 oats in the neighbourhood are already brought to market, and tliat 

 Tre mull fcon look to another quaiter for a better fupply. This we 

 may have from Ireland by the end of next month ; it being the general 

 opinion, that the export of oats will be allo^vcd from thence by that 

 time : befides, we Itill expeft a confiderable fupply of this grain from 

 Galloway, (hould the Liverpool market not hold out better prices than 

 ours. From our ftock of grain on hand, efpecially of wheat, and our 

 views of further fupplies, we think prices will not advance much here 

 for fome time to come. 



* Trade has been ver}" dull here for thefe three months paft, and as 

 yet there is but little profpect of a fpeedy revival. Tlie building* 

 "T^'hich were erefted here through the laft fummer are now finiftiing ; 

 but, by all appearance, that buhnefs will not be carried on to any ex- 

 tent the enfuing feafon. Carpenters wages, which were once very 

 high, are now at 158.; Mafons, ics. and lis. ; and labourers 9s. per 

 week.
