THE ENGLISH CROPS.
Our latest advices show that fanners in England have not been favoured with good weather for getting in the crops, while in Ireland and Scotland farming operations are unusually backward. During the latter part of November and the commencement of December continuous rains and high winds prevailed, the latter proving very destructive to stacks and outbuildings in some, of the agricultural districts. The sowing of spring wheats was everywhere greatly impeded, and though where sown good progress was recorded, it was feared that the superabundance of rain would have a somewhat prejudicial effect upon them. The wheat market presented no new features, the supplies from foreign ports being ample for the requirements of the trade.— Canterbury Times , February 9th.
