Rain Threatens British Harvest.
Continual rain, particularly along the West Coast of England and Scotland, has seriously damaged the British harvest, which may prove to be one of the worst for many years. In many counties thousands of acres of uncut or sfooked grain are steadily deteriorating. Somerset and Devon farmers have been particularly badly hit. for in many districts of the West Country loss than half the harvest has been cut and rain is still holding up all operations. In most counties three weeks to a month of fine weather is required to give any prospect of saving the crops.—London. August 29.
