THE FARMER'S MAGAZINg. 



HOP MARKET. 



BOROUGH, Monday, Juue 28.— We have no material 

 aiceration in our market siuce our last report. The demand 

 is very limited, and the acconut3 received from the hop plan- 

 tdiious are generally favourable. — Mease and Wild, Hop- 

 factors. 



WORCESTER, (Saturday last.)— Tiie reports from the 

 plantatious vary. On the claj s the bine contiuues to gtow, 

 but doea not clear from the blight. The gravel bottoms are 

 beginning to knock up. Duty, £10,000 to i'12,000. 



MAIDSTOiVE, June, -24.— The hop bine in this neigh- 

 bourhood grows rapidly, and generally looks healthy and of 

 good colour. The weather is very favourable thus far. In 

 some grounds tliere is an increase of Hy, while other plan- 

 tations where fly golding is pretty plentiful are more clean ; 

 opinion goes in favour of a heavy duty. The reports are 

 generally good. — Sussex Express.

WOOL MARKETS. 



LONDON, Monday, June 28.— Since our last report, 

 there has been a full average business doing in nearly nil kinds 

 of home-grown wools. Holders, generally, are very firm, and 

 most of them refuse to sell except on higher terms. Through- 

 out the proviuces, there is a good demand for wool, at improv- 

 ing currencies. 



ANDOVHR M'OOL MARKET.— As regards the 

 number of fleeces, they exceeded that of last year. b5,000 

 fleeces were pitched. The number of dealers was unusually 

 large, and a dcRire was evinced to lose no time in making pur- 

 chas«s, as long before the fair commenced many transactions 

 had taken place. On the opening of the fair an unusually brisk 

 trade commenced, and continued until a general clearance 

 waaeftected, at the following prices: Mixed lots, 1.3d. to 

 I4d. per lb.; tegs, 14d. to l5d. per lb.; ewea, I3d. per lb. 



BIRMINGHAM WOOL SALES, June 22.— There was a 

 good attendance of buyers at to-day's sale. The competition 

 for all descriptions of fltece wool was very animated, more par- 

 ticularly for strong bright clips of the midland counties. The 

 quotations of prices are as follows: — Fleece wools: Mixed 

 clips from 13J. to 15;^d., tegs 14d. to ICi^d , matchings lOd. to 

 17id., wethers ISd^^. to 14i|d., black and grey 12id. to 12|d., 

 cots ll^d. to 12d,, locks 9d. to Q^-d. Skiu wools: Combing 

 13^d. tol5d., super 12d.to 14d , heads 9d. to lid., bays 6d. 

 to 7d., aud shorn lambs 12d. to 13|d. 



BRADFORD WOOL MARKET, (Thursday last.)— There 

 is no abatement of the activity at the fairs and markets now pro- 

 gressing, aud the farmers are free to admit that ihey are obtain- 

 ing many shillings pef tod more ihau they, two months ago, 

 expected to realize. How far this game can be further played 

 appears to perplex the trade, for the state of this market does 

 not at all justify it. There is more doing iu fine yarns on the 

 spools, and the spinners generally engaged to order, at fair 

 prices. In lower numbers the trade is really ruinous, and for 

 shipping sorts the prices offered are such as to induce the pro- 

 ducers to allow their machinery to ftaud idle, for they are r.n- 

 williug to spiu except to order ; and we are glad to learn 

 there are no stocks on hand, which augurs more favourably for 

 the future. Pieces: There is no change of any moment to-day. 

 There is a steady busiiiesa doing to order only ; no one seems 

 inclined to make for stock. So long as this prudential course 

 is pursued, it will prveent such irregularities as the trade has 

 recently been subject to. — Bradford Observer. 



GLOUCESTER WOOL MARKET.— About 100 tods 

 came to market, all which found buyers, and, in some instances, 

 at rather over 13d. per lb. 



GERMAN WOOL SALES.— Berlin, June 19 : The 

 Berlin wool fair commenced on the liltti inst., and ter- 

 minated to-night. The quantity of wool in this market was 

 larger than last year, and consisted of more than 125,000 

 cwt., including about 10,000 cwt. of old wool. The condi- 

 tion of the wool was, on the average, not satisfactory. The 

 attendance of buj-ers was very numerous. The business 

 altogether was slow, and the expectations regarding prices- 

 were not realized. The farmers asked last year's prices at 

 the beginning, and on the first day only a quarter of the 

 wools were sold, at a reduction of about 5 to JJ rix dollars 

 per cwt., but in some cases even at a less reduction— say, 

 2 rix dollars per cwt., for the clean and good-conditioned 

 wools. The business continued flat ou the second day, and 

 prices were easier ; wools could be bought at 1 to 2 rix dol- 

 lars per cwt. lower. The faulty wools were partly disposed 

 of, at a reduction of about 10 rix dollars per cwt. In these 

 wools there was not much business done. The disappoint- 

 ment of the buyers was general, they expecting, wiili good 

 reason, a greater reduction in prices at our fair— at least 10 

 to 15 rix dollars per cwt. below last year. Eor the English 

 market no great quantity has been bought; wools suitable 

 for that market could not be bought below 80 to 87 rix dol- 

 lars per cwt. — Leeds Mercury.
