abie and cold woalliei-, but the biiie is 

 generally strong- and healthy. In some 

 few districts, the hop culture has been dis- 

 continued, but it may prove a questionable 

 speculation whether corn will pay better. 

 There has been a start of a shilling or two 

 in the price of wheat, but ueather markets 

 may be expected at this season, and should 

 the weather prove favourable, at any rate, 

 no rise can be rationally predicted. Mar- 

 kets for both cattle and sheep have been 

 abundantly supplied, and pork and veal at 

 considerably reduced prices. A Norfolk 

 correspondent of 24th lust, deeming no 

 farther report necessary, writes — " the 



affairs of the farmers are becoming- worse 

 every day, and the country is overrun 

 with labourers for whom no employment 

 can be found."
