MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 
PROM the continued heat, and funny ftate of the weather, during the whole of the prefent 
month, the bufinefs of reaping and fecuring all forts of crops has been carried on with 
unufual celerity and difpatch. The Wheat and Barley-crops are, in moft of the foutherr 
diftricts of the kingdom, already almoft wholly fecured, and a large proportion of the Gats 
alfo have been cut and conveyed to the tacks. In the northern parts of the ifland the harvest 
is likewifein a very advanced ftate, i 
In the midland counties, a month’s uninterrupted fine weather has enabled the farmers to 
get in nearly all the white Grain ; and in fome places the Beans ani mixed Grain are bee 
gun to be cut. The Wheat in thofe diftricts has, in fome inftances, {uffered much from the 
mildew, efpecially where the crop was large ; fo much fo, that fome pieces have been 
mowed merely for litter, Indeed, few crops have efcaped without fufféring more or lefs. 
from this caufe. Had it been otherwife, the Wheat in general would have been abundant in 
quantity, and of a very fuperior quality. The Barley and Oats area full crop, and remark- 
ably good ; the former being carried fo very dry, will be much in favour of the malttter:— 
Beans, thougha great crop as to fraw, will not yield well. Turnips want rain, and have 
alfo in many places fuffered much from tne grub. Store Stock of all kinds, except*Hogs ftr 
the Stubbles, are lower, owing to the fhortnefs of keep and water. Ctlower for feed wants 
a few feeding thowers. 
Pulfe crops, even Beans, have, in fome places, been removed from the ground. 
All the different kinds of crops have been fecured in the molt perfect condition, fo far as 
the harveft has yet advanced. But the produce, though abundant in many diftricts, is not, 
in general, fo full or fo good in quality as was expected. This is probably in confequence 
ef the long-continued drynefs of the feafon, The average price of Wheat is 55s. gd.—Rye, 
36s. 7d.—Barley, 24s. 10 —Oats, 22s. 6d.—Beans, 333. rid. 
But though the feafon has been unufually favourable for the operations of the field, the 
Paftures-and Grafs-lands have futtered confiderably, the Grafs in many diftricts being almof ° 
wholly burnt up ; and tt is but in few fituations that any Rowen has been in a ftate to be cut. 
The prices ef both Fat and Lean Stock keep up. The average price of Beef in Smithfield 
Market is from 4s. te §s.—-Mutton, 4s. 4d to ss. 4d.—Veal, qs. 8d. to 5s. 8d.—Pork, 4s. $d. 
to 53. gd.—-Lamb, 5s. 4d to6s. 8d. In Newgate and Leadenhal) Markets, Beef is frou 
38. qd. to 4s. 4d.—-Mutton, 4s. to 4s. $d.—Veal, 4s. 2d. to §s. 2d.—-Pork, qs. 8d. to 5s. gd, 
Lamb, §s. to 6s. 
The Turnip-crops kave been greatly injured by the drynefs of the weather in many places; 
and the Potatoes on the drier foils are not very promifing. ‘Thefallows for Wheat have im 
general been prepared in the moft perfect manner. . 
The com ng crop of Hops continues very promifing fora large produce, and is of fine quas 
lity. Theplants are free from infects, and very healthy. The prices of Hops of 1801 and 
x802 have fallen, the firft, to about Sos. and the latter, which cof 161. 16s. have fallen 
tg about 61. Some few new Hops may be at market in the firft week of September. 
Hay, notwithitanding the great crops, and their being made extremely well, and without 
difficulty, ftill keeps high. Average price of Hay in St. James’s Market is sl. 10, to 
61. 10s.—Straw, 21. $s. to 21, 173, Whitechapel Market.—Hay, 4], 0s. to 71.—Clover,
