MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL RFPORT. 
SS 
A MONTH of fine weather has enabled the farmers to get in all their white grain m good 
condition. Wé 
The Wheat, though injured by the mildew in fome places, 1s in better order than was 
expected. The late rains which tell on it will aflift both the quautity and quality, and make 
it much eafier to threfh. The crop may be deemed an average good one. The price of 
this grain has, in the courfe of the month, experienced confiderable fluctuation. It averaged 
at Mark-lane on the 6th Inftant, 61s. 3d.; on the 20th, 63s. 4d.; and on the 27th, 68s. 1d. 
The prefent average price of all England is 60s. 1d. spt 
Barley was much improved by the rains in the ftrong Jands, and is an excellent crap.— 
The Oats that were out in the wet are confiderably difcoloured, but on the whole there is 
no deficiency. The prefent average of Barley is 32s. 3d. and of Oats, 26s. 5d. é 
Beans are a good crop; they are now cut, and will be carried in in a few days if the 
weather continues fine. The crops of Peafe ure alfo good, as well as thole of Tares. 
The rains have been very favourable for the Turnips, which have grown very luxuriantly, 
and are likely to make winter keeping plentiful. The Clovers have been equally benefited 
by the rain, and promife'a very abundant crop of feed. 
In ftock there is littie variation. _ Stores are rather dearer. Beef fetches in Smithfield- 
market, from 4s. 4d. to 5s.; Mutton, from 4s. 4d. to 5s.; and Pork from 4s. to 5s. per 
ftone of eight pounds.

The quantity of rai fallen this month has been confiderable, the exact meafure of which 
will be given im the next Report. The average height of the thermometer has, however, 
been 29.764, and the number of fair days has exceeded thofe in which there has been ~ 
rain almoft in the proportion of two to one. 
The weather has been unufually cold tor the feafon. Since the 4th Inft. the thermometer 
has been ence only as high as 70°.; and during the whole month we have had only four 
days in which the heat has been equal to the fummer heat. The harveft is, however, going 
on very rapidly in all parts of the kingdom. The mercury in the barometer has been gra- 
dualiy rifing for the laft nine deys; it now ftands (Auguit 26) as high as 80.50, and ina 
rifing ftate; from which circumfiance we may hope for a continuance of fair weather, if 
not of heat. jae 
The wind has been variable, and on the hottef day, what little there was, blew. from the 
orth-eaf.
