"A very uncommon wet harvest-time here, has done much injury to the crops of grain, which were before very promising. Corn, in consequence, has considerably advanced in price, and it is expected, will still be higher—so that there is at present no doubt among our merchants in this place, but the ports of this kingdom will, in the course of next month, be opened for the admission of foreign grain of all sorts—indeed, so confident are they of this, that many of them have already sent large orders abroad for the purchasing of corn."
