The accounts of the harvest in England are exceedingly encourag-
ing. The barley crop will be one of rare excellence. The wheat, though short in quantity, will probably make up by its quality a full complement of flour. Wherever the wheat crops are thin, the grain is full and good. In some places where the crop is thick there has been a little blight. But on the whole, as far as England is con- cerned, the prospect is excellent. For Scotland we cannot say the same. On the cast coast there appears to be a fair prospect—on the west a poor one. And in Ireland the complaints of the weather are bitter and uniform. So local appears to be the rain, that while we have been enjoying almost unbroken sunshine, the rain in Ireland appears to have been incessant, and the aspects of the harvest are proportionally gloomy.
