METEOROLOGICAL TABLE, Kept at Edinburgh, in the Observatory, Caltonhill. N.B. The Observations are made twice every day, at nine o'clock forenoon and four o'clock afternoon. The second Observation, in the afternoon, in the first column, is taken by the Register Thermometer. FROM the middle of May, till the 8th of the present month, the rain that fell did not, in many places, reach an inch in depth. Throughout the greater part of June the temperature was unusually high, the thermometer often rising to 80 in the shade. The mean temperature for the two last weeks in May was 570; for the whole of June 61.750; and for the first week in the present month 56o. Under such temperature, and with so little moisture in the soil, it was impossible that vegetables could attain to any thing like luxuriance. Many sorts of plants were forced into a flowering and ripening state two or three weeks earlier than usual, and many dẹcayed for lack of moisture. On light dry soils, wheat came in the ear under unfavourable circumstances. The culm is short, and the ear corresponding. Oats on thin soils shew ears very moderately stocked with grain, and the stems, in numerous instances, are short, and will render reaping a tedious operation. Barley on shibban-land came up irregularly, and ran to seed on single stems; consequently a half-crop in such cases will not be obtained. Beans have not podded so freely as was expected. Pease, in general, look tolerably well. Hay has been a light crop, but has been all secured by the usual time of cutting. Potatoes came up well, but made little progress, and shew a disposition to flower on short stems. Turnips were sown, for the most part, by the third week in June, but except on fine soils, a very partial braird has been obtained. What were sown early in the month gave a more regular braird, but have hitherto made little progress. The above remarks must be understood as applying to dry or light loams, on open gravelly or rocky bottoms. On retentive soils, or on land incumbent on cold sub-soils, the appearance of the crops are much better. Wheat, oats, barley, and pease, are luxuriant, and the hay crop will reach an average weight, but in few or no instances will a heavy second cutting be obtained; but this, as well as that part of the growing crop which has not advanced too far towards ripening, may yet improve by the late favourable rain. On the 9th and 10th, the fall of rain amounts to one inch, and nearly one-fourth, something more than fell in the eight weeks immediately preceding. Cattle continue to sell at extremely low prices, and in grain there has been little improvement. Perthshire, 10th July. CORN MARKETS. Edinburgh. 1892. Wheat. Bls. Prices.
