LancaJlAre ^mrterly Report. 



In this diftritl, the harveft is chieily finifhed, and the crop brought 

 home, in excellent condition. According to expectation, the grain 

 turns out well in regard to quality, (particularly wheat), thoucrh, in 

 general, it was obfcrved rather thin upon the ground. The mar- 

 kets at Liverpool, and in the neighbourhood, itill keep high, though 

 the importations of wheat, flour, &c. at the port of Liverpool lately, 

 have almoif , if not altogether, exceeded that of any former period. 

 New wheat has hitherto fold as high as from 13s. 6d. to i4<?. and 

 upwards, per- meafure of 70 lb. To-day the market was dull, and 

 very few famples of wheat ihovvn. New oats have been fold from 

 5s. to ys. 4d. per bufiiel of 36 quarts. Oat-meal, from 3I. ics. to 

 4I. per load, in this neighbourhood ; but I am informed, that, in 

 feveral of the market-towns in this county, it is, or has been lately, 

 3I. per load (and under) of 240 lb. IJttle of the barley of la it 

 crop, I believe, has yet been fold, and that chiefly for grinding. I 

 have heard ot 7s. 6d., 8s., and 9s. having been given. The price at 

 prefent, however, does not appear to be fettled cither by the brewers 

 or other dealers. It is much to be lamented, that potatoes have 

 3jeen, and continue to be, extravagantly dear. The regular price 

 has been from 6s. to 8s. per bufliel of 90 lbs. To-day, in the Liver- 

 pool market, the price fluctuated between 4s. and 5s. 4d. perbufhel. 

 {It is to be obferved, that the potatoes here, as in moll other places, 

 are forted, the larg.e being feparated from theXraall ones j and it was
