nature of the season, atmospheric blight has 
been universal, but happily, in most parts, 
superficial, not penetrating the kernel: the 
straw over has been seldom discoloured. 
As to the quantity of old wheat on hand, 
there is a wide diversity of opinion: one 
party asserting the quantity to be imcon- 
siderable, whilst another is equally confident 
that there is at this time more old wheat 
reserved, than has been the ease, or could 
possibly be so, for many years. Not so 
with barley, of which little remains on hand. 
The stock of old wheat on the Continent, is 
beyond all doubt unprecedented, and the 
crops to the full as weighty as in this coun- 
try. In the chilly districts of the north- 
west, wheat sowing has already commenced.

adhesive fallows ; but we cannot speak very
