land will probably make up any deficiency, and afford sufficient supplies during the season to prevent the price from advancing materially.

The following table will show the change in the averages since January, the progressive improvement in the price of wheat, and the trifling change which has taken place in the other grains :

The butcher-markets have generally tended to decline, and there has been much difficulty in effecting sales. A great loss accordingly has been sustained on feeding stock. Latterly there have been symptoms of increasing demand, though with little, if any, effect upon the price.

Wool, after a long depression, has become more in demand, and realized a certain increase of price. Notwithstanding considerable importations, the stock in the country is understood to be diminishing. The low price of the raw material has doubtless tended to sustain and extend the woollen trade. These circumstances, it is to be presumed, will effect a certain increase of price, though we do not anticipate that this will be considerable.

Although there is thus a tendency to advance in articles of farm produce, this has been too late in arriving, and too inconsiderable in extent, to allow us to speak of the present times otherwise than as the most disastrous that have been encountered by the agriculturists of the country. It is grievous to think how great a waste of farming capital has taken place, and how long a period even of favourable cir cumstances will be required to replace it to the sufferers. Again we press upon the attention of landed gentlemen, the humanity, the wisdom, and the necessity even of a lenient exaction upon the funds of the tenants.
