HOP MARKET. 



BOROUGHjMoNDAY, Sept. 27. — Avery stood de.-nand lias 

 existed during ihe past week for Weald of Kent and Sussex 

 Hop>, and an advance of from 28. to 48. per cwt. has been 

 firmly inai:itaiaed. In the first class of Mid and East Kents 

 there has not been much doing, and in yearlings aud samples 

 of earlier date the dcuaud is very limited. Our currency is as 

 follows : — 



Mid. and East Kenta 703. 843. 1123. 



Weald of Kents 54s. 623. 683. 



Sussex 483. 543. 6O3. 



Duty, £270,000. Mease & Wild. 



WORCESTER, (Saturday last.)— A good supply of new 

 H.'ips, both at the fair oa Monday, and at market to-day, 

 which sold readily at 548. to 63s. — quality very good. 



MAIDSTONE, Sept. 23— Hop-picking is now iu full opera- 

 tion, and they come down very fast ; in fact more rapidly than 

 V.M auticipated. There appears to be a general impression 

 thnt the produce will be short— merely two-thirds of that 

 of last year, and the quality is not so good generally as the 

 nature of the season led the growers to expect. At the pre- 

 sent time mauy of the grounds in this district areswarniug 

 with verraiu, eating as it were the very vitah of the hops, They 

 are alio be et with red rust, mould, and blight, which are found 

 8t ihe core of the fruit. On the whole, it is believed that the 

 duty will fall very short of the amount at which it has been 

 fet in the Borough. In fact it is a great question whether it 

 will even pay our set of last week, namely, £248,000. Tbey 

 have gone off woiuierfuUy. — Sussex Express.

GLOUCESTER CHEESE MARKET.-About 250 

 tons of cheese were pitched, which larf^e supply proved 

 more than ecju.al to the demand, and therefore, and also in 

 consequence of Worcester fair preventing; the attendance 

 of many buyers, trade ruled dull, and lower prices than 

 were obtained at the last market were submitted to. Ulti- 

 mately almost an entire clearance was effected at the fol- 

 lowing prices: Best doubles and loaves 63s. to 70s., singles 

 58s. to (ils., seconds SOs. to 54s., and skim 24s. to 30s. per
