From the short crops of hay this article is advancing in price: best upland meadow from 100s. to 110s.; and best clover from 110s. to 115s. per load of 36 trusses of 56 pounds each.

Provisions, Irish butter from 50s. to 78s., Dorset 40s., Cambridge 49s., York 38s. per firkin; Cheese, double Gloucester, 48s.: single 41s. to 48s.: Cheshire 54s. to 74s.: Derby 50s. to 60s. per cwt.: Westmoreland and Cumberland hams 46s. to 60s. per cwt.

The wool market is steady, though it is rumoured that the country staplers have been buying up at higher prices than the manufacturers are willing to advance. The prices of English wool vary according to quality and description, from 15 to 22d. per pound. Foreign wool finds a ready sale, but without improved prices.

Reports of the hop grounds are very unfavourable from all quarters; consequently good samples keep at a good price. East Kent pockets command from 9 to 11 guineas: bags from 87. 2s. to 10 guineas; Sussex pockets 77. 15s. to 8 guineas.

Fruit. From all appearance apples will be every where a fair sprinkling, except the early flowering varieties which suffered along with the pears and plums, of which two latter there is a very scanty crop. Cherries and small fruit are rather plentiful.

Neither the affairs nor prospects of farmers are much improved. Considering the heavy expense of cultivation, added to the public burdens to which the land is subject, the prices of corn have been far too low; and many would have suffered much more severely, had not the better prices obtained for wool, fat stock, and dairy produce, kept them from sinking.
