MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 
PPHE ftate of the feafon has continued unvufually fine for all the purpofes of hufbandry fince our 
laft, and the remainder of both the grain and pulfe crops have been uncommonly well fecured 
in every part of the kingdom. The late fine rains have been of vaft fervice to the paftures, as 
well as the turnip crops, but the latter are thin upon the ground, and patchy, in many of thofe 
fituations where they have efcaped the effetts of the dry hot weather. The fallows are every 
where in the fineft potfible ftate for the reception of the wheat crops. The potatoes do not turn. 
out well in many of the more dry diftri€ts ; on being taken up, they are found {mall, feabby, and 
much bored by infects. On the wet foils they are however pretty good. 
In the midland counties the early part of the month was employed in completing the harveft, 
which was in generel finifhed by about the 8th or roth. A confiderable quantity of Clover 
feed has been fince got in, in fine condition; the crop will not be very large, but the quality of the 
feed remarkably good. Rain is exceedingly wanted, keeping is quite burnt up, Ode very 
fhort ; this makes ftock lower ; in fome places they have been obliged to fodder théir cattle. 
The new wheat which is come to market is, from the light fandy and gravel foils, véry good 5 
from fome of the {trong lands, exceedingly damaged by mildew ; fome fo much that it will not 
even do for feed. : 
The turnips have fuffered more than has been often recolleéted, both from the grub and the 
black caterpillar, 2s well as from the drought ; we expect winter keeping to be very fhort. 
The price of grain israther lower. By the laft return Wheat averages 55s. 5d. Barley 24s. 1de 
and Oats 22s. $d. 
‘The fluth of grafs produced by the late rains, as well as other caufes, have alfo had fome effect 
im lowering the prices of both lean and fat ftock. In Smithfield market, Beef fetches from 
3s. $d, toas. $d. and Mutton from 3s. 4d. to 4s. 4d- | 
Hay is ftill high, in St. James’s market it averages gl. 17s. 
Hops.—Kentifh, fell, in bags, from 4l. to 51. and in pockets from 51. to 61.
