year, though it falls to the average towards its conclusion. 

 Jt is probable that the high prices represent the harvest 

 of 1416, and the lower values when the harvest of 1417 

 was anticipated. Barley of low malting quality. Proba- 

 bly indifferent harvest.

1418 Below an average harvest for wheat, and above for all 

 other kinds of grain. Probably the summer was wet in 

 the southern counties, as the highest rates are reached in 

 Wilts and Sussex.

1420 Probably corn did not yield as well as estimated, as 

 wheat rose from 4^. ^d. in November, to 7^. ^d. later in 

 the season ; and whilst the crop in the eastern counties 

 was plentiful, it was scanty in the south and west. 



Large crop of barley, of low quality probably.
