Observations. — The continued prevalence of dry and hot weather, during the 

 last month, has had a material influence on the supplies usually furnished at 

 this season ; which have become generally scarce, and consequent!}' higher in 

 price. Of peas we have had to this time a good supply ; but the later crops 

 have been entirely dried up by the heat of the weather. On all dry soils, in 

 more favourable situations, the crop has been prematurely forced into the mar-

 terially affected by the continued dryness of the season : the supply hitherto 

 has been raoderat_'ly good, but the crops will altogether be a failure. Turnips
