whole ; which, when deducted, leaves the number 
‘28,125 pots. Not more than half the produce in this 
line exported, is supposed to pass through Worcester; 
allotting, therefore, to the markets of Bewdley, Kid¬ 
derminster, Bromsgrove, &c. &c. and the rest of the 
county, north of this city, 30,000 pots, the whole 
amount may be fairly estimated at 58,125 pots. The 
price varies considerably, from 3s. to 6s. the pot, and 
some of the inferior sorts under. Four shillings are 
deemed a low average. 
ee The quantity of cyder exported, as far as can be 
collected from the opinions of several principal planters 
and merchants, may amount to about 10,030 hogs¬ 
heads, of lio gallons ; the average price for about ten 
years past, Si. per hogshead, as it is delivered from the 
planter to the merchant. The delivery is often a cir¬ 
cumstance of considerable consequence, as they fre¬ 
quently live 10, 12, or 15 miles apart. That is the 
price of the greater part of the cyder sent out of the 
county; there are some few particular sorts, such as 
stire and golden pippin, which bring from 7b to 10b 
per hogshead ; the quantity of these is not very consi¬ 
derable. The quantity of perry falls short of that of 
cyder, perhaps it does not reach one-tenth; but little 
is exported except the prime sorts, such as the real 
jaynton, squash, huffcap, &c. these bring from 4l. to 
71 . per hogshead. 
“ The number of acres in the county, planted with 
hops this year, is 5988. The lowest average places 
the produce, at six cwt. per acre; the lowest average 
price above 3l. 3s. Calculating upon these low esti¬ 
mates, the whole may, with much probability, be stated 
with the exports.”
