London oats prices spark alarm amid harvest fears
The London oats market shows high prices and active speculation despite an approaching harvest and large crop. The corn act details a sliding duty plan based on six week averages, affecting oats imported before and after May. A farmer journal notes ancient matrimonial vows and changes in custom, while domestic improvements include new methods for preserving sheep with various oils and turf treatments. A Camarthenshire fair drew few shoppers amid Merlin-fueled superstition, and a Paris brewer touts a French porter as a rival to English beverage prestige.
