< Cur harveft (a few fields about the moor edcfe excepted) is finldied, 

 and all the grain fecured in mod excellent condition. Wheat and oats 

 are fine crop*?, both in regard to quantity and quality. A few blacks, 

 indeed, have appeared in fome of the former which have come to mar- 

 ket ; but we are glad to find the quantity in this fituation is by no 

 means fo great as was once imagined. Beans and barley are a fair crop, 

 though of the latter very little was fown laft feafon. The crop of po^ 

 tatoes is abundant, and the quality in general fine. 



* The importation of grain, during the laft three months, havinsj 

 been fo far fhort of what was expeded, the ftock in the merchant's 

 hands is almoft exhaulled, and prices in confequence, particularly of 

 wheat, have advanced confiderably. Still, however, they muft go 

 higher, before they come to a level with other markets ; and till then 

 we mull v/ait for the ufual fupplies.

Fife ^larterly Report. 



The harvefl: became general about the ift Scptem.ber ; and fo favocr- 

 able did the v/eather continue for above fix weeks, that cutting down 

 and carrying in the vicinal to the (lack-yards went on without the 

 fmalleft interruption. Upon wet lands, the feed-time being unfavour- 

 able, barley was in mary cafes very late ; and a good many fields at 

 this date are ftill out, txpofed to the bad weather which we have had 

 of late ; yet none of the grain is injured, the winds which providen- 

 tially followed the rains having dried it immediately. This late barley 

 is well ripened, and will be fit for malt, though without doubt inferior 

 to early fown grain in quality. 



Oats are univerfally gooci, both a bulky crop, and of fine quality, 

 fuperior to 1803 in the number of acres fown. Many farmers, finding
