HOP MARKET. 



BOROUGH, Monday, May 24.— The trade duriugthe past 

 week has continued steady, and the market on the whole is 

 very firm. Fine yearlings and good ISSS's are in demand, and 

 fully maintaiD previous rates. Our currency ia as follows : — 



Mid and East Keats 70a. to 90s., choice 1123. 



Weald of Kent 543. to 60s., " 66s. 



Sussex 50s. to 549., " 60s. 



Yearlings, &c 2 1 s. to 358., " 503. 



WORCESTER, (Saturday last.)— The reports of the grow- 

 ing crop are still unfavourable; the flea continues its ravage?, 

 and the nights are too cold for the biue to grow out of their 

 reach. The planters hold back their samples for higher rates, 

 which the merchants are unable to give, causing a very quiet 

 market. 



MAIDSTONE, May 20.— Very little improvement has 

 taken place iu our hop grounds, and the College ground, 

 although highly cultivated, is very backward. We are, gene- 

 rally speaking, short of bine, and full of flea, close to the bottom 

 of the plant. — Sussex Express. 



CHICORY. 



LONDON, Saturday, May 22.— Although the supplies of 

 Chicory are by no means extensive, tho demand for tliat article 

 has laMen off, and prices are with difficulty supported.

IiONi)ON, Satukdat, May 22.- The Flax market continues 

 in a most inactive state, yet we have no change to notice in 

 prices. There has been scarcely any inquiry for Hemp, and to 

 force sales, lower rates must be submitted to. In Jute and Coir 

 goods very litile has been passing.
