MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 
TP\HE young wheats have, in most places, experienced a seasonable check by the severity . 
of the frosts in the becinning of the month, and those that were early sown will proba- 
bly now turn out good crcps. eee 
Most sorts of green crops are pretty much in the same state as in last month, and they 
will probably not go nealy so far inxhe suppart of stock as is commonly the case. 
The ploughing has b en greatly retarded during the last two months, so that much of it 
will require to be performed in the ensuing month, which must render it a busy season for 
the teams. Me 
_ The prices of grain have continued pretty much the same as our last, which is an ex- 
tremely favorable circumstance-for the country.-—-Wheat fetches from 78s. to 10%s.: per 
quarter ; Rye, 42s. to 48s. 5 Barley, 30s. to 42s. 3 Oats, 20s. to 25s. an 
All sorts of stock, both fat and lean, still keep up to their furmer prices.—Beef fetches 
from 4s. 6d. to 6s. pcx stone of 8lb. 3 Mutton, 5s. to 6s. 6d. 3 Veal, 5s. to 8s. 5 Pork, 5s. 
to 7s. : 
Good hay rather looks up in the Londan markets.—Hay fetches from 41. to 61. 108.3 
Clover, 61. to 71. 15s. ; Straw, 11. 15s. to 21. 13s. 
The late snows have done great injury in many places to the sheep, and particularly to 
the forward lambs, which are soon destroyed by them.

Owing to an accident which has occurred by the frost to our rain-gauge, we are unable te 
give an accurate account of the quantity fallen since our last Report; but from circumstances 
it is supposed to be about equal to two inches and a half in depth. There has indeed beer 
rain eleven or tweive days during the present month; but the quantity has not been reat. 
The average height of the barometer is nearly the same as it ‘was for the last monthy 
viz. 29°63, and the mean temperature for the month is 36-21. We hada good deal of severe 
weacber between the itth and 22d inclusive, but the remainder of the period was in general 
mild. ‘The wind has been chiefly in the west ; on some days we had foggy and very dark 
weather, and we understand, thaton one in particular, the darkness was so considerable, as (@ 
calise a suspension of business in the middle of the day for an hour ot two. i 
The thermometer has again been as low as 15°, this was in the morning of the 21st. It: 
_ Stood at the same degree on the 17th of January ; we have heard that on the same day, a d 
at the same hour, in January, a thermometer stood as low as 8° at Camden Town; as, hos © 
_ ever, we noted our’s very accurately, we suspect this prodigious difference must have arisen: 
from some sudden evaporation, or other cause, not immediately connected with, or dependent 
upon, the state of the atmosshere. 
' At Sitide, in the Isle of Wight, the average temperature for September, October, Noe
