ALG RPG UU. Tok we ae 
Monthly Report for April. 
'This Report is faichfully made up for the Montruiy MaGazine, from an atual Correfpond— 
Be ence in nearly 20 Difiriéts of Great Britain. | 
rr HE prefent, on eccount of the mild- 
nefs of the weather, has proved an 
uncommonly favourable feafon for every 
operation in hufbandry. Little rain hav- 
ing fallen fince the month of February, 
the Gelds ploughed fince that time have 
benefited much by the dry weather, 
which, with the feafonable frofts in 
IMarch, have reduced the foil toa pow- 
der, with {mall labour to the harrow. 
The Wueats throughout the king- 
dom exhibit a degree of ftrength and for- 
wardnefs very unufual fo early in the 
feafon, and fhould the enfuing month 
(generally the moft trying) prove mild, 
with moderate ihowers, there can be 
little doubt of a moft abundant crop. In 
Scotland particularly, fo great an extent 
of wheat was never before feen, which, 
in general, looks well, and far fuperior 
to the crop of laft year. 
The fpring feed-time has been re- 
markably good. Great part of the grain 
is beginning to appear, and it looks very 
regular and promifing. Inthe Northern 
counties, the fields intended for Bar- 
LEY are in forward preparation ; what 
has been fown begins to peep through 
the foil. In ftiff foils in the wefernm dif- 
triéts, the Barley fowing goes on with 
difficulty, through the want of fpring 
dhowers. 
The Rve-Grass and CLoveER are 
generally good, and very early, a cir- 
cumftance much in favour of the fine 
EAMBING feafon, as they afford plenti- 
ful food to the ewes, inftead of Turnips, 
which have this feafon gone off {o early. 
In the north of the ifland the appear- 
ance of the Clover and Rye-Grafs 1s, 
however, not fo flattering, the plants of 
Clover being very thin in moft places. 
The fields intended for TuRnips are 
far advanced in culture, many have been 
twice ploughed, and are in fine tilth.,. 
There is a fine profpect of APPLES in 
the weftern CYDER counties. 
The dry fpring has been highly fa- 
vourable to SHEEP in general, 
ticularly productive in Lamps. 
It is at lenoth afcertaimed, and the 
fact is confirmed by fome of the beft in- 
formed of our correfpondents, that no 
real {carcity has ever exifted in this coun- 
try, and that the late High Prices of 
Wheat have been the fole work of me- 
nopcolifts... The Conn MARKETS have 
never been more plentifully fupphed 
than during the laft month, and the 
pro{pect of large importations, added te 
the alarm that has taken placé among 
the fpeculators, will, no doubt, keep the 
: > mae 
prices moderate till after the enfuing 
harveft. 
CaTTLeE and SHEEP are higher than 
was ever remembered ; and, from the 
great demand, it is to be feared will con- 
tinue fo, Every thing is picked up; 
LEAN STOCK was never known to fetch 
fuch prices, and Far STocx is nearly 
as much above the ufua!l rates as the 
lean. 
From the great ftock of Isft year’s 
Hay on hand, andthe promifing appear- 
ance of the Spring, the price of that 
article has fallen confiderably. 
Woot; in the weftern counties, fells 
in the fleece at 308. per weight of 30;l!b. 
Poratoers have fallen 1s. per fack. 
Grass SEEDS have funk in value more 
than one-fourth. The market continues. 
very heavy for Hops, bags fell from 50 
to gos. pockets frem 60 to 1008.
