GRAIN AND SEED. 
FbidAy, Nov. 9. —The arrivals con.sist of about 15,000 quarters of 
Oats from abroad, and 2,900 of Wheat. This morning there is consi¬ 
derable firmness in the Wheat trade, and English descriptions are 
quoted Is. higher. Barley of all descriptions is from Is. to 2s. dearer. 
Old Oats are held for more money, and New Corn is in some cases fid. 
higher. In other things there is not a large trade passing, but quota¬ 
tions are fully as good.

HOPS. 
Boeouoh Maiiket, Friday, Nov. 9 .—The demand for fine Hops 
during the past week has continued moderate, but brown and inferior 
samples arc heavy of sale. All |)arties are now waiting the announce¬ 
ment of the duty, which is expected to he very large. Ueports having been 
industriously circulated that the Hop Factors arc unable to w,irchouse 
any more Hops, we can distinctly state that such reports are unfounded, 
as all Hops can be received as quickly as they can be obtained from the 
railways. Mid. and East Kent, 75*- 95s. to 1208. ; Weald of Kents,

Southwark Watkrsidk, Nov. 5.—Supplies are very short, one cargo 
only of Scotch Uegents in the market. The weather is cold and favour¬ 
able to sales, and we have a brisk demand at our quotations, which have 
an upward tendency. Kent and Flssex Regents, 90 s. to lOO.s.; ditto

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Wintering Prlargoniums (A Subscriber). —See what Mr. Fish I 
says to-duy. | 
Pale Yellow Cochins (J. T. Fo.r).—The advertisement appears '■ 
again to-day, with the address. 
Patent (IK. H, IV/mier). —There are offices in Chancery Lane, and 
elsewhere, for you to apply to ; it is quite impossible for us to give such 
information. 
Striking Cuttings (An expectant umon^ Beaton 
stated, the other day, that he hoped to give the information in January. 
That will he quite in time for the cuttings. 
Rice for Poultry (An Old Subscriber, Morayshire). —It is partly 
rice in the husk, called in India, Paddy, and mixed with Turnip seed. 
Not a bad mixture. If for table-chicken, put a Grey Dorking cock with 
your Shanghae pullets. There is no objection to Bees being near your 
poultry-house. 
Crossing White and Buff Siiangiiaes (A Subscriber). —Birds 
bred between White and Buff Cochin parents cannot he depended upon. 
It is said all the Blacks were produced in this way. The chicken may j 
have every appearance of purity, but in breeding from them they will j 
throw back, and though their appearance shall deceive even the best 
judges, yet the purchaser of them will find, in breeding, that he is con¬ 
stantly hatching birds of whose parentage he knows nothing, and for 
which he cannot account. The truth is, they were the result of the 
cross you mention. A shade of metallic green on the plumage of a black 
bird is rather desirable than otherwise. | 
Colour of Bouen Drake’s Bill (C/cnc««).—The bill of the Rouen 
Drake should be a greenish-yellow, exactly like the that of Wild Mallard. I 
Rouen Ducks, in both sexes, should be like the Wild Duck as possible, 1 
but much larger in size. The ash, or leaden-coloured bill, is adefect. It I 
is found in the Widgeon, but never in the Wild Duck. | 
Dorking Cock (It. H. B.). —We cannot see anything in your descrip- , 
tion of your Dorking Cock to disqualify him. We do not consider ■ 
colour, in this breed, an essential point. .Judging from your description, 
he is more likely to disqualify others than be disqualified. 
Perry.—G. L. C, will be much obliged by a receipe for making this, 
or any kind of wine from Pears. 
Red Spider on Vines (New Subscrib r). —You may adopt the 1 
usual mode of treatment, as yon suggest. 
Names or Peaks (A Beginner). — I. Napoldon ; your soil is too cold > 
for it. 2 . Passe Colmar. 3. Marie Louise. 4. Winter Nelis. 5, Un¬ 
known. 6 . Bcurre de Ranee. 7 . Marie Louise. 
Names of Pears and Apples fP, J.).—1. Marie Louise. 2 ,

de Lamy. 5. Dunmore. 6 . Marie Louise, 7* Unknown ; an inferior ; 
variety. 8 . Beurre Diel. 9 . Vicar of Winkfield. 10. Unknown. 12. ' 
Court of Wick. 13. Unknown. 14. Scarlet Nonparicl. 15. Golden 
Knob. 
(A. M. It.). —The Apple seems to be the Brown Kenting, and the 
Pear is Beurre Diel. 
Names of Fruits.—L occon, and Town Close have been received and 
are under consideration.
