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 after. noon. The second Observation, in the afternoon, in the first column, is taken by the Register Thermometer. FROM the middle till the end of December, loud winds, sleet, and rain, were frequent. The new year commenced with rain. Since the 3d, the weather has become more settled; frosts have been frequent, but never severe, or of long continuance. Farm labour is in a considerable state of forwardness. Winter fallows are all broke up, and a good breadth of clover-ley has been ploughed for oats. Young wheat looks fresh. Turnips have acquired no additional bulk since November. A great breadth has been cleared off, and those remaining in the field are in a growing state, and will soon begin to run. Corn markets were dull about the middle of December; since then, they have been more brisk; but last accounts from Mark-Lane announce a decline in prices, which always tells in our markets. That a brisk demand for wheat will continue throughout the season is more than probable. The immense quantities of rain that fell in England, in autumn, must have very much deteriorated that spe. cies of grain; and what fell in the subsequent months must have prevented the usual breadth from being laid under wheat. The annual mean temperature, by a register kept at Annat Garden, Perthshire, for the past year, was 47° 4. The depth of rain amounted only to 23.37 inches, about twelve inches less than last year, and four inches less than falls on an average of seasons. While we have to record this deficiency, it is something remarkable in the annals of Meteorology, that in Glamor. ganshire the extraordinary depth of 53 inches and 8 decimal parts fell in the same time; about double the quantity that falls in the Carse of Gowrie on an average of years. Fat cattle are now plenty, and prices rather look down; for lean stock there is no demand. Perthshire, January 14, 1825. |
