. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JANUARY. 
-. The fudden and extreme changes which have taken place in the weather of this 
- ‘month, have done fome damage among the late-fown WHeats, that had not got 
- fafficient hold of the ground; but not fo much, perhaps, as to be of ferious mo- 
ment. The prices of this article remain, on the whole, nearly ftationary, or rather. 
on the decline. “What is extraordinary, is the great difparity of prices between 
the Weitern and the Northern diftriéts. In fome of the markets in Yorkfhire, the 
price is near two fhillings a bufhel below that of fome of the Wiltihire markets.’ 
Both of them are manufacturing counties: but, in the former, oats (which are 
low) are'the ftaple food of the poor ; while, in the latter, wheat is the main arti- 
cle of confumption. Befide, the markets of Bath and Briftol are fupplied chiefly 
from this quarter. ‘The average price of all Englandis 54s. 11d. 
’ The pretent mild flate of the weather, is fingularly favourable to the BEaw cul- 
ture, and we expect {peedily to hear of the DisBLEs being got to work in the vale 
diftrids. eo 
_. The prices of Woot ison the decline, owing to’ a check which has lately been 
experienced in the woollen manufactures ; but even under thefe circumftances, we 
fear, the decreafing number of aged fheep will not prevent its future rife: fheep 
flaughtered at eighteen or twenty months old, afford little wool to the clothier, and’ 
that of an inferior quality. 
«SMITHFIELD Market has this feafon been remarkably well fupplied. The 
Norfoik and Suffolk fupply, which is juft commenced, promifes to be very confi- 
derable. The confumption continues, however, to be fo great, that prices are ftill 
‘on the advance, BEEF averaging 4s. and Murrow as. 8d. per ftone. The demand 
for Government.continues to be from 500 to 7Qo head per weck. In NEwGaTE 
Market Beef is fold from 3s. 4d. to 4s. 2d. and Mutton from 3s. 8d. to 4$. ad. 
The Hop Marker is tolerably brifk.—Bags, Eaft Kent, fell from 80s. to asas. 
Pockets, ditta, toos.to 126s.
