alfo lately made a confulerable advance, the prcfent prices being 8s. 6d. 

 per ftone, link, for good beef, and Hd. to (,d. per lib. for flieep. 



Our corn markets have been, and are yet very flow : — the principa 

 demand is for oats to the London market, particularly the potato oat, 

 for which diS. per bufliel more is given than for any other kind. The 

 quality of wheat is fo various in this diltricl, and fome of It fo very bad, 

 that, on the fame market day, the prices have been from 33. 6d. to 7s. 

 a bufhel. In this county, it turns out a more deficient crop than was 

 expeded. 



Postscript to Scotish Intelligence. 



Letter from GlafgoiUy 22d January. 



* The crop in general, in this quarter, is turning out very poorly, 

 particularly that of wheat and barley : the former was never known to 

 be fo bad in quality : in many inftances, our farmers have been without 

 getting a price offered for it. The latter is alfo very poor ; and, on ac- 

 count of the new duty on malt, our brewers will not look on it at any 

 price. They are, however, well fupplied with that grain, from Eng- 

 land, of the beft quality we have heretofore feen. 



* Our potato crop has turned out but poorly, both as to quantity and 

 quality. Oats is the only grain that is good ; although they are faUing 

 much fhort, both as to ftraw and meal, from what was once expedled ; 

 but thefe wants are, in a great meafure, made up by the late extetifive 

 importation. 8ince the 20th Odlober laft, we have had about 19,000 

 quarters ivheat, and 3500 barrels fiour^ from America; 12,000 holls 

 oatsj and 18,000 bolls oat meal, from Ireland. The greateft part of the 

 flour, however, with about 70CO quarters of the wheat, has been again 

 exported to the Mediterranean, The meal is chiefly intended for the 

 Highlands and Weftern diflrifts, as Irifh meal feldom takes in this 

 market. We are ftill in the expedation of a few cargoes more wheat 

 from Virginia, through the Winter, with a pretty large fupply of oats 

 and oat meal from Ireland, Httle or no new grain having as yet arrived 

 from that country. 



* Our market at prefent is well fupplied with all kinds of grain ; and 

 from the flock on hand, and the profpeft of a further fupply from Ire- 

 land in particular, prices will, we think, keep moderate for fome time 

 to come.
