summer shoots. The biue^ appear very healthy in the Wel- 

 ham hop yards, and there is some hope entertained that there 

 will be a fair average crop. Hot summer weather, according 

 to the experience of the North Clay hop-growers, is always 

 suitable and necessary towards the growth of this fickle plant 

 in this district, and in former years had been conducive to the 

 growth of good and heavy crop?. 



TuNBRiDGE, June 25. — The warm weather of the past few 

 days has had a favourable effect on the plant, although in 

 many places the bine appears to be weak and the leaf much 

 discoloured. The accoimts are exceedingly couflicting ; while 

 some of the planters are disposed to look hopefully on the 

 prospects of the next crop, others are of opinion that it will be 

 below the average. There is still a considerable quantity of 

 lice and fly, although much checked of late. 



Pembury, June 24. — The bine in this parish has grown 

 considerably within the past few days, and is, on the whole, 

 satisfactory. 



Frant. — The bine has not yet topped the poles in most 

 plantations ; although the genial weather of the last few days 

 has had a beneficial effect. Plenty of vermin. 



GouDiiURST, June 25. — We are improving in some 

 grounds, while others are considerably worse ; we still say a 

 short crop. 



Peasmarsh, Jane 25. — The hop-bines are loaded with 

 vermin. 



Plaxtol, June 25.— We can still report favourably of the 

 state of our hop grounds. 



West Peckhaji, Lower Borough. — The hop-bine in 

 this neighbourhood has grown rapidly during the past v.xek. 



Benenden, Juue 25. — Our bine is looking pretty well; 

 we have, however, much lice in some grounds. 



Staplehurst, June 25. — There is considerable lice to be 

 found on some grounds, but on the whole a favourable pro- 

 gress has been made during the past week. 



Hartfield, June 25.— The fly has certaiuly decreased, 

 but we have an abundance of lice; still the bine grows nicely, 

 and seems to have benefitted by the late thunderstorm. 



Lamberiiurst, June 25. — The late warm weather has 

 greatly improved the appearance of the hop gardens, but there 

 is still a considerable supply of vermin, which must produce 

 an injurious effect. Opinions are various as to the expected 

 crop. — Sussex Eiepress.

WOOL MARKETS. 

 BRITISH WOOL MARKETS. 



LONDON, Monday, June 29. — We have not the slightest 

 improvement to notice in the demand for any kind of home- 

 grown wool ; nevertheless, holders generally are firm in their 

 quotations. South country wools are likely, however, to be 

 pressed for sale, as the supply is increasing, and as the country 

 markets have gone off heavily. The average price paid at 

 Jjeicester, last week, was 4ls. 3d. per tod. The export demand 

 is still very languid, although money on the continent has be- 

 come easier.

 sunported.
