The elaborate ooUeetioo of tbe prices of commodities in all parts of England between the years 1259 and 1400, published in Professor J.-E. T. Rogers's " History of Agriculture and Prices in England," appears to afford tho beat data for deciding whether the son-spot period influences the price of corn. For this purposed, tables of tbe avenge price per quarter of wheat and other grain, expressed in grains of pure silver, were need. Each series of priors was divided into intervals of eleven years, whit* were arranged under each other and averaged, ao ae to give the average of the first, of the aeoond, of the third, etc., yean, the commencement of the period being arbitrarily assumed. It ia found that the prioea of each kind of produce examined rises in tho first four yean, bnt afterwards falls, it ia farther shown that the maxima prices are found to fail into the tenth, eleventh, first, second and third yean of tho aaanmed elevenyear period. These results are to be tod upon aa only preliminary, and 1 farther investigation.
