THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE, 



of some excitement. Trefoil has already suftered 

 in this country, and there is a very poor prospect 

 for red cloverseed here, while it is unfavourably 

 spoken of in Germany and France. Rates of this 

 latter have risen about 7s, to 8s. per cwt., with but 

 little oflfering, stocks being very trifling. White 

 cloverseed leaving off very dear at the end of the 

 season, has not yet attracted attention, and indeed 

 there is very little left. The new rapeseed is both 

 damp and dear. Canaryseed has improved in 

 value several shillings per qr., and all other seeds 

 participate more or less in the upward movement, 

 according to the time of harvesting.
