GRAIN AND SEED. 
Friday, Dec. 14. —The arrivals are good of Irish Oats, and there are 
10,000 quarters of Wheat expected from abroad, with 15.000 barrels of 
Flour. Wheat, is about Is. dearer than on Monday. B,arley, for inferior 
sorts, remains a dull trade. Oats are held for Wednesday’s terms, 
but the buyers operate slowjy. Beans and White Peas Is. to 2s. higher. 
In other grain no change. Flour as on Monday.

HOPS. 
BoEOuen Maeket, Monday, Dec. 10.—We have had a fair demand 
during the past week for all Hops of good colour and quality at about 
the same currency. For low and inferior descriptions there is scarcely 
any inquiry. 
Friday, Dec. 14.—Our market remains without any material altera¬ 
tion from la.st week. Fine samples with quality and colour fully main¬ 
tain their value, and there is a moderate demand for the best descrip¬ 
tions of healthy brown Hops. Mid. and East Kents, 60 s. 90 s. to 112s. ;

Southwaek Waterside.—Dec. 10.—The supply of damaged and

TO CORRESPONDENTS. j 
**♦ We request that no one will write to the departmental writers of j 
Tue Cottage Gardener. It gives them unjustifiable trouble and , 
expense. All communications should be addressed “To the Editor of | 
The Cottage Gardener, 20, Paternoster Row, London." 
Shbewsbcey Poultry Show. —“ Having received many communi- ' 
cations respecting the late Poultry Exhibition at Shrewsbury, allow me 
to state, through the pages of your widely-diffused periodical, that 
though my name appears in the printed catalogue, I was not myself , 
present at the awarding of any of the premiums, having declined the ' 
I appointment from causes that I had previously explained in writing to ' 
the Hon. Sec., but which it is unnecessary for me on this occasion to 
recapitulate.— Edward Hewitt.” 1 
Names of Pears (.■1 Subscriber). —The proper name for Brown 
i Bcurre is not Beurre Diel, but the Pear you sent us under the name of 
Brown Beurrd is BeurrG Diel. Brown Beurre is a distinct variety. 
The Pear you frequently hear called Burgundy, and Bergaray, by old 
people, is not Gansel’s Bergamot, but the Autumn Bergamot. You do 
not say what size your Beurrd Diel is; but if not too large to root-prune 
easily, it will not be too large to transplant. Put it on an east or west 
wall. 
Pear [J. C. Muckross, Killarney). —Your parcel came to the ofifice 
with a charge of 2s. upon it, and was refused. You did not put sufficient 
I stamps on it.
