hundred bufliels may be feen {landing: and 101. 

 in -the middle of the market are a pair of 

 large fcales, adapted to the weighing of a whole 

 fack, or a lefs quantity ; the farmers paying fo 

 much a draft for the uie of them. 



Betide what are thus brought into market, 

 the dealers have quantities at their refpe&ive 

 warehoufes * ; and great quantities are alib 

 fold by corn merchants, and even bankers, by 

 fample. Indeed, at this feafon of the year, 

 almoft every man of bufinefs, who has got a 

 little loofe money, is a dealer in clover-feed. 



The market, however, does not confift 

 wholly of red clover-feed : there are pro* 

 portional quantities of " fuckling" (white 

 clover) ; alfo of " hulled Nonfuch" (trefoil) ; 

 alfo of " black Nonfuch" (trefoil in the 

 hufkj ; alfo of <c white Nonfuch" (darnel or 

 rye-grafs) ; and of " black and white Non- 

 fuch ;" namely, a mixture of the two laft 

 forts. * 



* One Cunningham is by much the largcft dealer : he 

 lives near Harleftone ; and buys up his feed in that neigh- 

 bourhood, and in Suffolk. Enquiring as to the quantity 

 fold, I was told (in the afternoon) that he had fold, :n the 

 courfe of this day, a hundred coomb of clover- feed ! 

 thirty or forty coon.b of it, however, were to country 

 dealers.
