J82I.J Commercial Report. 267 
latter will be greatly protracted. If any 
thing 1 could cure the general error of sow¬ 
ing grasses with corn, a harvest like the 
present would be tile remedy, for the clo¬ 
ver, which takes such a length of time to 
dry, has ruined immense breadth of barley. 
Some of the north-western districts have 
been doubly unfortunate, from barrenness 
occasioned by drought in summer,and from 
ruin of the crops by the rains in harvest. 
Much corn has been necessarily housed 
in a wet and bad state. Hop picking- began 
in the second week of this month, and the 
crop will be large. Red clover, rape, and 
linseed have advanced in price, from the 
bad state of the weather. Perhaps the 
country never saw a finer turnip crop, or 
more luxuriant after-grass, from the influ¬ 
ence of which, store stock has experienced 
some rise of price. In w ool, little altera¬ 
tion. All kinds of grain, particularly 
wheat, had a rapid rise, in consequence of 
the wet weather, and it has been reported 
that a sample of wheat was sold in Mark- 
lane at 100s. per quarter. There is no 
doubt but that fine samples reached 95s. 
The price has since considerably declined, 
nor is it a sound speculation, that wheat 
can rise, or be lifted up to the import price, 
even in the sprinjg ; so considerable is the 
overplus stock of last year, and so exten¬ 
sive the number of acres of the present 
crop, more so, it is said, than any preceding 
one in this country. The stocks of bread 
corn on the opposite Continent, and in 
America, are equally abundant.
