HOP MARKET. 



BOROUGH, Monday, Nov. 22.— Our market continues 

 tolerably firm, with a moderate business doing in fine and 

 middling qualities. Brown and inferior descriptions are still 

 neglected, and are only saleable at reduced prices. Our cur- 

 rency is as follows : — 



Mid and East Kenta 70s. 84s. 1208. 



Weald of Kents 52s. 62s. 688. 



Sussex 46s. 548. 60s. 



Mease & Wild. 

 WORCESTER, (Saturday last.)— Prices are 23. to 3s. 

 higher to-day for fine and second class hops, both of which are 

 scarce. It is in contemplation here to memorialize the Chan- 

 cellor, that in case a moiety of the duty is remitted upon the 

 present year's crop of hops the same shall extend to the 

 stocks on hand held by the merchants and others, seeing that 

 they have paid the duty upon the hops which the planters 

 have not. The remission of the import duty was made to 



serve the brewers in 1854, and it will be too bad to remit th^ 

 excise duty in 1858 to serve the planters, and both at th^ 

 expense of the merchants and holders of hops. 



ANDOVER HOP FAIR.— It was computed nearly 

 1,000 pockets were for sale, and not a fourth of that quan- 

 tity found purchasers. Prices as follows : — Best Farnhams, 

 from £5 to £o 15s. ordinary ditto, £4 15s. to £5 5s. ; Altons, 

 £i 10s. to £4 15s.; common Sussex and country hops, best 

 quality, £o 10s. to £4 ; Sussex ditto, £3 to £3 15s, : Year- 

 ling hops, £2 to £3 per cwt. 



POTATO MARKETS. 



SOUTHWARK WATERSIDE, Nov. 22.— Since our last 

 report the arrivals both coastwise and from foreign ports have 

 been very moderate. Notwithstanding the severe weather 

 we have had, the trade has been very languid, and prices 

 have been with difficulty maintained. The following are this 

 day's quotations : 



York Regents per ton SOs. to 95s. 



Dunbar do 80s. to 90s. 



Essex and Kent do 708. to 90s.

 wise and by laud-carriage the arrival of potatoes, since this 

 day se'nnight, have been tolerably good, and in fair condition.

 Rouen, 70 do. from Boulogne, 30 do. from Rotterdam, 256 

 do. from Antwerp, 140 do. from Harlingen, 85 do. from 

 Groningen, and 50 do. from other quarters. Although a full 

 average business is doing in most kinds, the trade is by no 

 means active, as follows : —

Kent and Essex do 80s. to 90s. „ 



Scotch 708. to 90s. „
