MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 
A MONTH of finer weather has rarely been experienced, and the confequence has been 
the utmoft luxuriancy of vegetation. The wheat is very promifing, but will coft much 
for weeding——we never remember to have feen fo much of the corn crowfoot (ranunculus 
ervenjis}. Barley is equally good. The fame may be faid of oats, except that thefe are in 
fome places a good deal injured with the wire-worm. Beans grow faft, and in general the 
Peas are promifing—in fome inftances, however, they have been blighted. The feeds fown 
with the Barley, having in general efcaped the fly, grow fo rapidly as to caufe fome fear of 
their over growing the corn. Average price of Wheat 5is. 7d. Rye 23s. Barley 25s. gd. 
Oats 225. 8d. Beans 33s rod. Peafe 37s. 6d. 
Keep of all forts is equally forward with the corn. Thefe remarks will hold good on all 
foils, except the cold very ftrong clays, where there has been fo much wet as materially to 
aheck the fpring corn. The feafon has been favourable for getting up the fallow, and bring- 
ing the turnip land into a forward ftate. 
Hay averages, in St. James’s market, 31. ros. to 51.—-Straw 11. 4s. to ll. ros.—White- 
chapel. —Hay 31. tos, to 51.—Clover ql. 12s. to 51. 151.—Straw 11. 4s. to 11. Tos. 
Stock of all kinds has advanced, both on account of the quantity of feed, as well (for 
meat) as the high markets in Smithfield. Corn has declined, and is now much too low 
for the grower to afford: in many places the wheat of laf harve(t will hardly pay for har- 
vetting, threfhing, and taking to market. 
In Smithfield market, Beef fetches from 5s to 6s.—Mutton ss. to 5s. 6d.— Veal qs. 8d. 
to 6s.—-Pork 43s. 8d. to 4s. 8d. In Newgate and Leadenhall markets, Beef fetches from 
48. 4d. to 5s. 4d.—Mutton 4s. 8d. to 5s, 2d.—Veal 4s. to 5s. 8d —Pork 3s. 8d. to 4s. 3d. 
~—Lamb 5s. to 7s. 4d. 
This month is the ufual time for beginning to hire harveft-men: there does not appear to 
be any fcarcity of them, though they have afked, and in many cafds obtained la&t year’s 
extragavant wages——fome as much as three guineas and board, for a month. ; ,
