COLD easterly winds, with frequent showers of hail and rain, prevailed from the 16th till the end of December. The present year commenced with keen frost. On the 1st the mercury in the thermometer stood at 27° Fahrenheit; on the 3d it fell as low as 20°; and in low situations, where hoar frost is always most powerful, it fell to 14°; on the 4th it rose to 25°; and on the 6th it stood at the freezing point during a heavy fall of snow. Towards the 10th, the temperature was about 37°; and in low situations the show had entirely disappeared. The wind still continues easterly, and showers of sleet and rain are frequent. The plants of young wheat have hitherto suffered nothing by the frost; but, from the saturated condition of the soil, spring frosts are much to be dreaded, unless they are preceded by a tract of fair weather. Turnips have now got a complete check in growth, but have suffered nothing from the storm. Young clover plants continue to look healthy, but the weather has been such as to render pastures unavailable for live stock. Farm labour was far advanced before the date of our last; since then, little has been done out of doors. Carting out dung; pulling and driving home turnips; threshing and carrying grain to market, have been the only species of labour which it was possible to perform. The price of grain continues too low for the grower, and it is to be feared that the balance on profit and loss will, this season, in many instances, stand on the wrong side. Fat cattle are in demand, and bring good prices; in lean stock there is little doing. The winter season has hitherto been rather unfavourable to sheep fed on turnips, and this, with the lightness of that crop, may tend to keep up prices in the butcher market throughout the spring months.
