HOP MARKET. 



BOROUGH MONDAY, Sept. 28.— The hop picking is now 

 nearly finished, aad the greater portion of the crop has been 

 secured ia good condition. Our market to-day is firmer, with 

 8 more active demand, and as growers do not at present press 

 their growths ou the market, prices exhibit an upward tendency. 

 Mid and East Keuts, 80s. to 100s. to H2s.; Weald of Rents, 

 63s. to 75s toSOs. J Susses Pockets, 6O3. to 653. to 703. 

 Duty £220,000. Hakt & Wilson. 



MAIDSTONE, Sept. 24.— The weather has for the last 

 few days beeu most favourable, aiid the picking has been car- 

 ried on with the greatest activity. Many planters in the 

 neighbourhood have finished, and there will not be maoy lefi; 

 unpicked after next week should this weather continue. The 

 recent rains, followed as they were by heat and sunshine, came 

 at a most seasonable time, and have greatly increased the crop, 

 bettering its coudition and thoroughly cleausing the fruit. 

 The duty is estimated very high. Many, however, tbiuk il 

 overset at £220,000, while others are of opinion that that 

 sum will be paid. At the Staplehurst hop fair on Wednesday, 

 the inipiessioa appeared to be that it will not reach the 

 £200 000.

WOOL MARKETS. 

 ENGLISH WOOL MARKET. 



LONDON, Monday, Sept. 28.— There is very little change 

 to notice iu the value of any kind of wool. The supply in the 

 market is very moderate, and manufacturers continue to pur- 

 chase rather freely. For export, very little has beeu done of 

 late ; nevertheless, holders generally still entertain great con- 

 fidence as regards the future course of the trade.

GIRWOOD'S EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW WOOL 

 SALES — September. — The former of these sales took place 

 at Taufield oa Thursday, and the latter at York-street, Glasgow, 

 ou Friday, when about 2,200 bales of wool were submitted to 

 public competition. The attendance of buyers was very 

 numerous, ajd for good and weli-managed wools the biddings 

 were spirited and the prices realized high. In white Highland, 

 Cheviot, and half-bred wools, the competition was great, which 

 was also the case in laid Cheviot. Of white Highland the 

 quantity exposed for sale wrs large and of superior quality, 

 and for the Haystoun let the extraordinary price of 263. 6d. 

 per stone was obtained, and for another lot 268. There was a 

 large supply of Cheviots of good quality, and for this class 

 37s. 6d. was obtained for Border ewes, and 423. for Haystoun 

 hogs. In half-breds there was a large display, and many very 

 superior lots. Ewe wools in this class reached 37s. 6d. per 

 stoue, and the Oldhall (Caithness) hogs 423. Crosses reached 

 353. (id. for a Penhshire lot. In laid Cheviots there was an 

 unprecedented display as regards general exctlleuce, while the 

 quantity was very large ; and for this class the competition 

 waskeeti. Prices ransed from 23s. to 24s. 6d for Kintrad- 

 well, and the same price for Culgower hogs. In laid, cross, 

 and Highland the quautitits were small, aud quality not of the 

 best; but for the litter 15s. 6d. was riarlieJ. — At the Glas- 

 gow sale, where about 500 bales were sold, the prices real- 

 ised were much in accordarice with those obtained at Edin- 

 burgh. 



GLOUCESTER WOOL FAIR.— About 80 tods, princi- 

 pally niixed ewe aud In^-gett, were exhibited, and the whole 

 was sold &t 42?. per tod of 281bs. 



LEITU WOOL SALES.— Messrs. Adam and Macgregor's 

 wool sale for September, tock place ou Wednesday last, when 

 about 2.000 bales were disposed of. The attendance of buyers 

 was much more unmeroiis than on any previous occtsion, 

 which was tcarcely to he expected, this being the season when 

 buyers are in general heavily stocked; while this year, owing 

 to the present high price of wcol, they are more ihm usually 

 unwiiliug to extend their purchases beyond immediate require- 

 ments. The biddings were well sustained for Cheviots and 

 half-breds. Of the latter, the supplj' was comparatively small, 

 arising from the lapidity with wiiich all good co'xbing wcols 

 have been bought up this year for the English market. The 

 lot from " Sybster," Caithness, was much tdniired ; also the 

 "Beaufort Castle" Southdowns, aud the " Eldridge" aud 

 " Wood" clips of white Cheviot?. Of laid Cheviots the selec- 

 tion was very large, aud a good demand existed for the best 

 qualities. Amongst those which brought top prices may be 

 noticed the Duke of Sutherland's '• Skelbo" clip, and the 

 "Dell" clip from Inverness. Highland wools were rather neg- 

 lected. Mr. Dowell, of Dowell and Lyon, acted as selling- 

 broker. We annex an average range of the prices realized :— 

 Half-bred hog and ewe, 36?. to 423. ; white Cheviots, 35e. to 

 40s. ; do. cross, 283. to 34s. ; do. Highland, 183. to 22s. 6d. ; 

 laid Cheviots, 23s. to 26s, ; do. Highland, 14s. to 163.
