Hungary* yet, being hut little more than twenty 

 miles from Vienna, the price there cannot differ very 

 much from that of the capital, for which see Appen- 

 dix* No, 27. In some of the smaller towns in 

 Austria, on the borders of Bavaria, where little Wheat 

 is consumed, I fuund the price of Wheat and Rye 

 nearly the same. The harvest of the latter kind of 

 Grain was reported to be deficient, and had raised 

 the price, whilst for the former there was little or no 

 demand 



It will be seen by the Returns of the Prices of 

 Corn at Munich (see Appendix, No. 28), that the 

 Bread Corn at Bavaria is not so much depressed as 

 in Austria. This may be attributed to a law prohi- 

 biting the introduction of Corn from the surrou iding 

 'countries, from whence, chiefly from Bohemia, it 

 had been the practice to import it. This prohibition 

 &ad rested on an order from the King to the Officers 

 pf the Customs at the different frontier stations ; but 

 at the last assembly of the States a formal law was 

 passed, enforcing the former regulation, and enacting 

 penalties on the breaches of it. 



Notwithstanding the restrictions, I found, on 

 inquiry at the Board of Agriculture, that the value 

 of land had greatly declined. According to the 

 statements given to me there, within the last eight 

 years, the fall in the selling price of meadow lam? 

 had been about thirty-five per cent, and that in the 

 price of arable land full sixty per cent. 



The complaints of the losses by Farming were as 

 heavy here as in the neighbouring countries, where 

 the prices are lower, and in which no laws to prohi- 

 bit importation are in existence. 



In the kingdom of Wirtemburg, Wheat is so little 

 an object of attention, from the, small quantity which 

 is consumed, that I was unable to obtain any other 

 Returns of the prices than the imperfect List in the
