HOP MARKET. 



BOROUGH, Monday, May 23.— The unhealthy appear- 

 ance of the bine, aud the report of fly in various districts of 

 the plantation, have created considerable excitement in our 

 market, aud prices have advanced from 123. to 15s. per cwt. 

 for the last growth, and a large business has been effected at 

 the improved rates. Yearlings and Hops of earlier date have 

 been in strong request, at higher prices.

ENGLISH BUTTER MARKET. 



LONDON, Monday, May 23.— Our trade opens so badly 

 for Butter this day, that it is difficult to make "quotations for 

 price, although sellers would readily submit to a reduction of 

 lOs. per cwt. from the price of this day week.

WOOL MARKETS. 



ENGLISH WOOL MARKET. 

 LONDON, Monday, May 23.— Our market still con- 

 tinues in a very depressed state, notwithstanding that the 

 s»pply of wool on offer is very moderate. For export to the 

 Continent scarcely any business is doing, and, to force sales, 

 further depressed rates must be submitted to by the holders.

LEEDS (English and Foreign) WOOL MARKET, 

 May 20. — There is no improvement in the demand for combing, 

 but for short wool there is a fair demand at steady prices. 

 Both the demand and price of the former are regulated by the 

 immediate necessities of the manufacturer. In colonial wool 

 the trade is quiet, and it is so for low wool, in consequence of 

 the wool sales at Liverpool, which have ahowu a somewhat 

 improving tendency. 



LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, May 21. 

 Scotch.— There is a fair demand from the trade only for 

 immediate wants, for all kinds of Scotch wool, without any ma- 

 terial change in the price, which, however, will be in favour of 

 the buyers.
