We have no change to notice in our niarket ; the
demand for decent samples continuing steady at recent
quotations. The reporta from the plantations in the Kent
and Stumm districts are of a more promising character,
there being leas vermin, and considerable progrees in the
growth of the bine. From Worcester and Farnham and
the country districts the acoounts are still unfavourable.
No foreign hope arrived in the port of London last week.

WOOL MARKET.

The inquiry for moat kinds of English wool hen rather
increased, chiefly on continental account. In prioes,how-
ever, we have no further improvement to notice. Our
provincial reporta are favourable to the article. The
quantity here is small for the time of year.

We had very heavy rain this morning, but it has cleared
up with annihine. At to.day's market, the attendance
was still thin, but there was a rather better Inquiry for
English wheat, at ls.t week's prices. Grinding and die.
tilling barley without altoration. Gate Iv.ry slow sale,
and In many oases Is. per qr. cheaper, Beans Orin, and
very few on offer. Peas not worth mentioning. Flour
—the demand purely retail at late rates.

At the provineial corn markets on Saturdey last there
was a tolerable supply of wheat, and the prices of last
week were fully maintained, there being a moderate
amount of business doing. Grinding barley was in many
plows is. per quarter cheaper. Oata were in less de.
'nand, at rather less money than last week. In been.
very little olienge. Last week the weather WM intensely
hot; the wheat crops are very promising, and, from
present appearanoes, a very prolifio yield may be antici•
pared.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, Jure 19.
Foreign wool hu been in fair requeat, and the sales
have bun at full rates. Scotch mute with moderate
inquiry, without change In value.

WORCESTER HOP•MARKET, Jogs 19e.
The storine which have poised over this district during
the past week have prevailed, to • considerable extent,
throughout the hop oountry of West Worcestershire and
Herefordshire, and a good deal of the blight haa been
wuhed off by the heavy rein. Nevertheless, on the
under surface of the leaves there is even • greater emu-
ululation of alth than ever, and unless it should be
deatroyed in the oourse of two or three weeks it must
geriously affect the growing crop. In the meantime
there is not mull doing in the market, and no appre-
ciable alteration in prior, though, If anything, it I. in
favour of the seller.
