HOP MARKET. 



BOROUGH, Monday, April 22.— Our market continues 

 to be firmly supported, with a steady demand for the best 

 qualities of every date. Yearlings and the finest samples of 

 the last growth are becoming scarce, and command rather 

 more money.

 change to notice iu the general features of this market. For 

 good and fine wool there is a fair demand at full prices, but 

 inferior kinds command very little attention. The new clip is
