MISCELLANEOUS CIRCUMSTANCES,

the farmer’s consumption are the same; the deficiency of one-third of the whole is all taken from the quantity brought to market. In. closing corn fields a great diminution of wheat grown.

Corn.dealers assert there is a sufficient quantity of wheat within the distriGt of Newcastle, for its own supply: samples now(Feb.), uncommonly numerous; shewing the corn had been kept back; far- mers refused 16s. expeting that parliamentary discussion would soon

make it 20s. Much oat-bread used here; deficiency of which uni.

versally admitted. Perhaps itis not yet too late to prohibit any sort

of corn applicable to the food of man being given to horses.—Pre- miums for potatoes good.

Harvest being a month later than common, have to provide only My

for eleven. Reduced consumption will serve another month,

opinion is, that the stock in hand is considerable, owing to the wet harvest, and that after March it will come out; but as it will be in

fewer hands, nohope of a moderate price. Wrong to break commons for one year; but

Right to offer premiums

to encourage potatoes.
