*THE appearance of the next crops of 
Wheat in every part of the kingdom, ~ 
3s exceedingly promifing. In the weftern 
countries, it had become =winter-proud, 
‘but the continuance-ef dry weather has. 
given the farmers an opportunity to feed 
it down with theep, as well as of rolling and 
harrowing it in the ufual way. The feed 
time was never known to be do forward as 
an the prefent feafon, and it has generally 
fucceeded fo well, that a moft abundant 
harveit may reafonably be looked for. Oats 
are alfo in great farwardnefs; the land is 
an excellent condition: for barley; and the 
beans come up rernarkably ftrong. 
Thefe -exceilent appearances, added ‘to 
a confiderable foreicn fusply, have pro- 
duced, in the courf+ of the laf two weeks, 
‘a proportionate reéuction of the prices-of 
WHEAT. At Mazk-lane, it fell on Mon- 
day from twelye to fourteen fhillings per — 
quarter, making, with former reductions, 
upwards of twenty fhillings. In the weft 
and north it has fallen in nearly an equal 
praEnitiet and in fome places the mar- 
ets have been glutted. Bariey and 
oats have alfo experienced a very dull 
fale, and the prices have confidercbly 
fallen. Indeed, thefe laf articles, from 
the large ftock in hand, promife to be un- 
ufually abundant. 
While grain hes thus lowered it price, 
BUTCHERS MEAT and POTATOES are 
on the advance. The former have ad- 
< 
. 
vanced fiance laft month mearly a penny per 
pomid. CATTLE in general keep high 
-and fearce, and find a ready fale in all the 
principal taits. SHEEP have actually ad-— 
vanced nearly one third im value fince this - 
time aft year, and few good omfes are to 
be bought at any price. Good HORSES 
find a ready fale at very igh prices, not- 
withftanding the reduétion of the fencible 
cavalry. .

reports from IRELAND, it may, How- 
ever, be proper to mention, thatthe cul-_ 
tivation of potatoes fron fhoots has teen — 
fuccefsfully praétifed in various parts of — 
that kingdom, and found to be lughly- 
advantageous. ‘This improvement, which 
was firft fuggefted by Dr. Maunfell, of - 
Limerick, if univerfally, adopted, will be 
a great national faving. :
