Of Potatoes, the quality is faid to be generally good this year, and no where better*than 
in Herefordthire ; in fome parts, the narthern particularly, they have been affcéted ay the 
curl, a difeafe from obftructed circulation, obvioully eccafibned by the fame mifty and eee 
ing weather; which atieéted the wheat in July and Auguft. . 
‘In Worceftefihire, and in all the’ fruit counties, the trees abfolutely bend under the weight 
of the crop: it is to be Bupee this gréat abundancé will not’encourage the too free ufe of 
four karfh cyder among the lower claffes, fo prodv@tive of the cholic in the cyder-countiese 
' Wall-fruit feems to le the {mallet of the fruit-crops. 
Hops a general great crop; and, in the beft diftrifts, the quality of the pockets very fine. 
Jn Kent, Surry, and Suffex, the fpecdtators are fairly caught, with nearly the whole of lalt 
year’s ftock on hand. Old bags, three to four guineas per cwt.; Pockets four to five gui 
neas, the fame which, fome months ago, fetched 221..,tos.! 
Live-ftock, both fat and lean, at an immeafe price, and the latter not to be obtained ie 
quantities equal to the feed on the ground, a plain proof that we have fadly anticipated our 
ftores, and neglected breeding ; an improvident fyftem, which, if perfevered in, will have very 
ferious confequences. Brecding-fows are at the enormous price of five tofeyen guineas each; 
three guineas to three guineas and a half for fuch as formerly were fold at eighteen fhillings 
to twenty fhillings each. Good horfes have beea‘all the {pring and fammer exceflively fearce 
and dear, and yet there feems rather a lefs than the ufual attention to increafe — breed, 
notwithftanding the profpe& of a gencral demand at the return of peace. _ Te

The quantity of rain fallen fince our laft report is equal to 1.77 mee of depth. ; 
During the la month, the changes inthe atmofphere, with refpe& to its denfty, have 
been more confiderable than ufual: it has frequently happened, that in the courfe of twelve 
hours the mercury in the barometer has varied from two to three-tenths. . In confequence of 
the great depréffion noticed above, we experienced a very heavy ftorm in the evening of the 
18th infant, after which the barometer began immediately to rife. 
The yariations in the heat ef the atmofphere, have not been very great ;, two days ai 
as we have remariced, has the thermometer ftood at fummer-heat 5 and, on two other days, 
September 22 and'24, the greateft heat was 58°. From the 14th. to the 18th infant, the 
weather was, for the feafon, unufually warm, during which, even in the night, the glafs 
was {carcely lower than 60°. 
Since our laft report we have had 18 days without rag 8 and the wind has been eafterly 16
