Hops. -The Producers’ Price Current says: “Early 
In the week the market had a tlrm tone and there was 
u futr degree nf life in the trade. For a day or two 
past very little business has been done and the mar 
krt Inis lust u little nl its buoyancy. Advices from the 
country report a few sales of very choice Stale Imps 
as high as See. It Is possible that that price could be 
made here for a verv fancy article, but it would be 
Quite extreme. Brewers are buying very sparingly. 
Exporters have to go lo the Interior tor the Quality to 
suit them aud these priced are above their limits. Old 
hops are source, lo good rt'Queal by ole brewers aud 
flrm, London advices report a light consumptive de¬
