sent to some abatement. Few have been disposed 

 to do this, prices being moderate. White foreign 

 seed being without an Enghsh competition has 

 maintained its high price, and as grazing has lately 

 been more profitable than the culture of arable 

 land, it seems likely that it will all through the 

 season be dear. Trefoil, though dearer in France, 

 has slackened both in demand and value here. 

 Tares also have felt the influence of the unfavour- 

 able weather— former rates of 46s. for small and 

 64s. per qr. for large. Brunswick have been still 

 maintained ; but little has been doing. Canary- 

 seed has been very dull, and scarcely holds its 

 value. Rapeseed, hempseed, and the seeds used in 

 confectionary have sold in retail at about former 

 prices.

HOP MARKET. 



LONDON, Monday, Feb. 27. — Our market continues 

 affected by the proposed change in the duties, and the demand, 

 which had been previously limited, has completely stopped. 

 Prices remain nominally the same, as follows : — 



Mid and East Kents 84s., 1123., 1 478. 



Weald of Kents 65s., 76»., 84». 



Sussex 65s., 743., 80s.

COVENT GARDEN MARKET. 



LONDON, Satubday, Feb. 25.— Supplies of most things 

 continue to be tolerably well kept up. Pine Apples and Grapes 

 have not altered since our last report. Good Apples and Pears 

 remain scarce. Oranges are plentiful and cheap. Good Cobs 

 realize Is. to Is. 6d. per lb. Rhubarb, Asparagus, Sea- 

 kale, Cabbages, Carrots, Parsnips, and Leeks are sufficient 

 for the demand. Parsley is much cheaper than it has been. 

 Cornish Broccoli, which is furnished by the crateful, fetches from 

 8s. to 4s. per dozen heads. Green Peas of foreign growth 

 continue to make their appearance. Potatoes realize 4s. 6d. 

 per bushel. Mushrooms can still be had in small quantities. 

 Cucumbers are dear. Cut flowers chiefly consist of Orchids, 

 Gardenias, Violets, Mignonette, Camellias, Azaleas, Heaths, 

 and Roses.
