HOPS.
The amount of business passing in bops is very modersiti.
Choice qualities of produce are scarce, and command full
prices ; bit there is a good supply of medium and inferior
produce, the demand for which is in a sluggish state, pre-
vious quotations being with difficulty supported. The
foreign markets are also reported dull, only choice hops sup-
porting former prices. 8..,5t Kent folding", 1875, £.5 12s. to

LONDON, Mosasy, May, 1.-The supplies of Clover-seed
were very llnaitsd bat as the season is drawing to a dose,
holders ass disposed to *lsar eff the little they have at lower
rates, and reasosable bids are assented generally. Trefoil
was in poor request, and rather sheaper to sell. The supply
of foreign Tares is above the demand, and prices are redeeed
secordingly the sales effested were to a very moderate
extent. Can, ryseeds still insane in price, the sales being
for very small quantities. Ttaglish itspeioed remains stares
and very dear. Dutch llempseed was steady in prise am
demand. White aud brown Mustardseeds were in short
supply and fully as dear.
