THE ENGLISH HARVEST.
From Home papers we gather that the present has been the worst harvest experienced for many years, continued rain, with heavy winds prevailing through tha harvest season, causing an immense quantity of wheat to mildew nnd sprout in the sheaf. Barley and o:its have also suffered largely, much of the former being rendered unfit for malting purposes. The agricultural outlook is thus summarised by one piper : ' There is no doubt that this season will prove one of the woist that fanners in this country have (!vur experienced. Feed has been short during a ereat i>:irt of the reason, the hay crop was one of the lightest on rcconl, hir'.ey and potatoes :i"j the only crn;m ■':u ani'ilo lands above average, a larg? porlion of the con of i>ll kinds has been h.idly injured, and prices for cattle and r-hecp, as well as for corn, are extremely low.
